Some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in a game, dudes were flopping all over the place too. Straight up unwatchable basketball.

[–] the_greasy_one@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Let's be fair here, has Embiid never not fell down after a shot?

[–] twelve_tony@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

did they think his feet were moving (because Embiid hit him so hard)?

[–] ComfortableDino@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why wasn't Embiid fined for that flop and T'd up? What's the point of this rule?

[–] Dicipline_daily_24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s a charge. Fuckin eyyy. The preferential treatment and inconsistencies. NBA is really shit these days ngl

Biggest free throw merchant in NBA history, can’t believe the shit Embiid gets away with smh

[–] Whizi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Never dribbles, takes three steps right into defender, pushes off defender to turn and pass, falls in other defensive players path to prevent any help defense, and gets a fouled called in favor of the offense. I’d get ejected too.

Big agree NBA stupid as hell for shit like this

[–] denverblazer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Watching Embiid feels like work.

[–] Brokromah@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

God if I weren't a sixer fan this would infuriate me.....

[–] Ingrownpimple@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid is so unlikable. That scream 🤮

[–] EliManningsPetDog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think he got a T in the Knicks game a few days ago

Philly is so hateable. Embiid is such a flopper, and now Maxey, who I fucking loved, is getting the most bullshit superstar calls already. Every time either one of those dudes takes a shot working 10 ft of the basket they are flailing and gyrating like Elaine dancing or a cheap stripper. One or the other I don’t fucking care.

Media constantly saying players run the league but players getting calls for nothing and ejection for barely any emotion, I seem to believe the NBA controls the players through terrible referees. NBAPA can't do anything about this.

What takes this sequence of officiating from being bad to downright absurd, is that the ref is directly responsible for letting play continue while Hunter is on the ground, because he doesn't make a call either way. Thus meaning he has to take that into account if there's any contact involving the player on the floor, which naturally will happen with that many bodies around Hunter, and officiate what happens with an appropriate amount of reason. And yet he completely ignores his responsibility in that and calls Hunter for a foul for incidental contact. It truly is unfathomable how he believed the first contact between them didn't warrant a whistle, but the contact on the second action, which is miniscule in comparison, did.

To show a complete lack of basketball sense like this is inexcusable. Referees at this level should not be getting it wrong like this.

Draymond will shout at the ref from 1st qtr to 4th and he wont even get a tech. Lmao wth is this

Next time Embiid pulls out an insane statline, I will remember this example when the "why do you guys hate on him?" comments come.

[–] WayofHatuey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But did not call the travel or charge. Typical Embiid treatment

[–] N0minal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Weekly reminder that Embiid does this shit every game. It's the worse

[–] Groundhog_fog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They need to just no-call that and start making Embiid look like a fool.

[–] MadDogTannenOW@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That's 1 of the more obvious charge calls you could make as a ref, I guess if you were in the mood to call obvious fouls

[–] Odd_Wrangler8065@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm willing to accept that I have poor eyesight so let me breakdown what happened and see if others agree.

Embiid travels into the lane, where he then bowls over a legal guarding defender who is outside of the restricted section, gets zero fouls for either of those actions, then steps on that same defender (who has no time to actually get up) when taking a shot and draws the foul, where that defender is now up and is naturally upset about this sequence of events which leads to a T?

Did I get anything wrong?

[–] Sammcbucketts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You missed the part where they gave him a 2nd T about 15 seconds after the first T this leading to an ejection

This sub hates embiid so much it's unhealthy. No he did not travel, it's 2 steps after the catch. No he did not charge, Hunter fell on his ass after barely getting touched. Then Hunter wraps his legs around Jo's foot for a foul. LMAO at yall.

[–] ikimono-gakari@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You must be looking at a completely differently video than the one shown here.

[–] _madswami@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Giannis travels, carries and charges 10000x more than this clip and yall eat it up

[–] josephus1811@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That is fucked. Hunter literally stood still. This sport is fucking cooked. I say that as a Sixers fan. Hunter needs an apology and holy shit stop destroying this sport.

[–] upcat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't understand how Embiid can charge into you out of control, knock you on the ground, then yell as he's shooting a fadeaway...yet Hunter on the ground is called for the foul???

[–] Leggoman31@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid is such a bitch man

EmFlop traveled before he even made contact and that looked like a charge then gets some soft ass whistle!!?? Smfh this ain’t even basketball anymore. Hard to watch this bullshit knowing the league and refs hoodwink the game for views and money. Shit, thank god for college hoops.

[–] ThreePlyStrength@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid plays like the biggest fucking pussy it’s sad.

[–] realfakejames@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Draymond literally gets to scream at refs over and over and never gets a tech so it’s always funny seeing them give random ass players a tech for arguing calls

Hey Embiid didn't flop for onc....oh

[–] aja_ramirez@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

On the replay, you can see embiid eye hunter on the ground, which of course is when his dastardly plan to make the refs look stupid for the millionth time began
