Giannis has been averaging like 10 per game for years and none of you guys cry about that the same way
People do all the time 😂
It’s stupidity. Who the fucks surprised that the two most physical specimens in the league get fouled a lot?
People cry about that constantly lol what are you talking about?
Damn they should’ve not fouled him then?
can you share which of the 15 weren’t legit calls?
How much would he average if he didnt get the special needs whistle?
the refs just really really like him. no other explanation
And then suddenly decide to dislike him against certain defenses. Damn these referees and their favoritism!
obvious spite thread, post clips of the ones you think were particularly bad calls
Bro almost broke Embiid's shoulder with that disgusting act.
Good god why wasn’t that a flagrant foul???
wow, i agree that that's a horribly soft call and it should have been a flopping tech on embiid if anything
nonetheless that's 2 out of 21 (if he shot FTs there which i assume he did) so are we agreed that the majority of the calls he got were legit or are there more that are this bad? and to be clear i'm not saying you specifically are obligated to provide the clips like this, it's more directed at the people who make this kind of obviously leading thread with no justification besides 'i want to direct more hate from other people toward [player/team] with no context'
Paper man falls over when someone breathes near him, refs shouldd wear an oxygentank to be fair to the other teams.
Paper franchise falls over when DeRozan takes another midrange. You ain’t been relevant since Roses leg snapped in half go home.
Haha you boys are a joke, go fuck yourself, talking shit like that about a mvp who got his career derailed by injuries, shame on you. So insecure you have to spew hatred, kiss my ass and enjoy never going anywhere with your current mvp, because he cant produce anything in the playoffs.
Mother fuckers gotta stop fouling him then.
Fucking revolutionary idea for this place mate.
Bros been eating with one clip ignoring the dozen plus others lmao perfect microcosm for this sub
NBA - more of this please. I love when the game stops and gets extended and we get to watch the teams jack up more ft’s. More foul calls pla
Not sure what you want the NBA to do about a team intentionally fouling players to try and extend the game and maybe send it to OT.
Give him technicals for foul baiting.
For a big strong guy, he falls a lot. Yes he gets fouled a lot because he's so strong in the paint and it'll be free basker. But also yes he foul baits and falls over a lot for the strongest guy on the court.
he foul baits bc if he doesn’t he’d wouldn’t get calls
And giannis and jokic would get more calls if they were floppy as well. But they don't they'd rather just play through strength, skill and basketball iq.
sounds like a low basketball iq to not get more free throws
Well if he flops then we'll get a tech for it. He didn't get any so....🤷🏿♂️
They don't call for flops.
wanna know how i know you didn’t watch the game ?

Intentional fouls at the end of the game
Generational flopper
What a guy! #MVP #OwnsYourFavoritePlayer #JustStopFouling
As soon as I saw the Thunder send him to the line with intentional fouls several times with under a minute left I knew this post was being constructed.
If there's anyone who's getting fouled more than embiid I'll be shocked. Dude gets clobbered a lot just because he's big. Foul is a foul no matter your size.
People want the big man to be reffed differently. There’s a fallacy in here that taller guys should have to receive harder contact to gain a foul, just not how it works
But the problem is that it is how it works for most other big men in the league.
Sounds like a problem for them then
Foul is a foul no matter your size.
this is clearly not the case for other players...like idk LeBron???
Overwhelming majority of his FTA comes from legitimate fouls. The only problem I have with him is he is reffed he's like a perimeter player (then it's not really Embiid's fault, more on refs).
For example when he catches the ball on the block and faces up one dribble blow by, then defender bumps him midway and he gets a foul. That is certainly a foul for perimeter players. Jokic and other bigs in exactly same situation, they have to continue the play because the same foul won't be called.
So, refs have to stop reffing Embiid like a guard or start calling exact same calls for other centers. Then nobody have to complain.
Now do jokic
Was at the game, wasn't great
The refs' infatuation with Embiid is comical lmao.
The biggest problem with NBA (and in this case Embiid as one of the biggest beneficiary) is that it awards players for initiating hard bully contact and not allowing defenders to do anything about it. Im talking Giannis and Embiid first and foremost. Jokić is 2 levels above these guys as his low post technique very rarely involves shoulder to the chest. On the other hand, thats bread and butter for both Embiid and Giannis. Pound your way to the basket with less skill and expect the defenders to...move aside?! NBA needs to stop allowing such mindless brute force plays as it did with the pump fake + jump into the body on purpose.
And in general, the refereeing has been abysmal last couple seasons.
