What the actual fuck are these floors
Why would he fadeaway in this situation? Just thought it was poor shot selection. Step back or something to create separation better.
Bro is so used to flopping that his default jumper is at 135°, falling back. Why tf can't he pull up straight like Kd, Jokic or Giannis. He's 7 ft tall ffs 😭.
Jokic makes that 100%.
Dude needs to get out of the 2nd round, even Known Choke Artist LeBron had gotten out of the 2nd round only 5 times and won only 2 rings by age 28 (poor performance), I need something more than the MVP using Simmons and Harden as excuses to get elimated in the 2nd round. I mean if a Known Choker only did that by age 28, and Embiid hasn't even done 1/10th of that, what are we talking about here? Is Embiid like the 111th best player on the GOAT list? That's far down from LeBron at #17 (too high I know)
Surprised the refs did not bail him out with a whistle.
He didn’t do it here, but there were a couple plays last night in crunch time, and plays I notice with embiid all the time, where he’ll get the ball open on the free throw line, where he’s money from, but look unsure of what to do and then pump fake no one so then the defender has time to get on top of him and he either has to shoot a fadeaway or pass out.
That and he’s still a turnover machine when he gets swarmed down low and panics. I think he needs to fix this more than anything to be a dominant playoff performer.
Fading away like he’s Kevin Durant. Goddamn it Joel.
Jokic would have hit it
I honestly had no idea Tristan Thompson was still in the NBA.
Why the hell is he guarding Embiid 1-on-1 in crunch time?????
Because it works. Did you even watch the clip?
Damn, embiid already in playoff form
Why a fade away jumper? Take em to the hoop young fella!
My dad was not a fan of this shot selection
0 rings
Locked up by Tristian Thompson…
Is this your mvp? Fake mvp
Shouldn’t have hesitated
That was a bad call. Tristan Thompson is a fucking fire hydrant so it takes away the option to drive. With no action at all the best you'll get is a contested midrange.
Then Maxey left the OT go ahead bucket hanging on the rim on a layup he normally makes in his sleep.
What an irritating loss.
Should have just driven. He wasn’t going to not get to the line
BADLY
