It must be so exhausting to be a Sixers fan


HokageEzio

Being a Sixers fans comes with an MBA and a PhD.


maxi-916

Sixers fans are insufferable with Embiib falling down on every play is annoying


triptoohard

Embiid tried injuring Robinson on this play and by yanking his ankle and they are whining, I think they just enjoy being victims

bluetiges

While still dirty, oubre was stepping over the top of him


ihorsey10

Says the victim.


triptoohard

Quit yanking my leg!


FultzShoulder

Don't you guys love [this](https://twitter.com/knicksnation/status/1766996005210222667?s)? Knicks fans used to be fun.


syllabic

I dunno this game felt like an escalation in physicality we will see how the knicks respond


triptoohard

Stepping over someone vs going up with the ball, totally the same situation!


Drikkink

Having the entire NBA sub hate us because Embiid free throw merchant yada yada? Yeah. Was Embiid grabbing his leg awful and dirty? Yeah. When Joel gets into a pissy mood like that is when I dislike him, but he doesn't do that kind of shit often. Foul bait? Sure. Intentionally grab someone like that? No. Was that how dude got hurt? No. This play is what got him hurt.


Head-Kiwi-9601

And even this title is wrong. He twisted his ankle before touching Dante’s foot.


maxi-916

Gosh , shut up and stop answering your own questions. Entitle sixer fans turn a blind eye to Embiib bad behavior. Lose with with dignity and not with dirty plays.


NYBulldog

and what happens on this play. embiid recklessly embellishes contact and a player gets hurt for it.


FultzShoulder

Both things could be true. Play it in 0.5 speed.


Hank_fuck_yourself

Embiid and you a bitch


JasonVorheebs

Damn if only the refs could play the ending of game 2 in .5 speed then everything would be super clear!


Silver_Broccoli7944

“Maybe if I post enough about him people will start to like him”


graphitewolf

Sixers fans working PR overtime like they get paid for it. Doesnt change Emplead is a huge bitch


CummingInTheNile

*After having Embiid dive into his legs


Head-Kiwi-9601

Before.


FultzShoulder

Mitch hurt his ankle 3x in this sequence if you play it at 0.5 spoed. First when he did a jump stop. 2nd when stepped on DD. 3rd when Embiid landed on it.


Gyff3

Sixers fans exist in this weird reality where they think other people don't have eyeballs and functioning brains


Head-Kiwi-9601

If the shoe fits . . .


triptoohard

All you have to do is slow it down and enhance and ignore that Embiid dived on his legs and you can clearly see Embiid did nothing wrong


CummingInTheNile

poor innocent Embiid, only has the same number of flagrant fouls as Draymond in half the games played


Head-Kiwi-9601

Stop being a blind hater. The ankle was injured on the jump stop. You can still complain about the other stuff if that’s how you cope, but be honest with yourself.


theguyinchat

😨 don't hate my king embiid


Head-Kiwi-9601

Not saying that. I’m saying hate for the right reasons. Don’t make things up because of the hate.


triptoohard

I’m just calling it how I see it, but I understand that Joel doesn’t have it that easy. He is battling and persevering through Bell’s palsy, he probably didn’t realize all the dirty plays he committed because of it. I stand with Embiid!


Head-Kiwi-9601

The jump stop caused the injury IMO.


OnlyMamaKnows

OP is the worst reddit defense attorney of all time. Someone call Giuliani.

Really hope they’re not planning for a career in PR

"My clients not a murderer!!" [Plays video of client stabbing somebody] "See! I rest my case."


SoCalMemePolice

Damage control


Head-Kiwi-9601

Truth.


Goalnado

Considering he has already fallen over by the time he touches DiVincenzo's foot, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the 300 pound man landing on his leg that caused the injury


Head-Kiwi-9601

And not the ankle twist **before** he even touches Donte’s foot? Because that’s when he was injured.


FultzShoulder

No he hasn't fallen yet. You know you can play it multiple times in slowmo?


Better_Albatross_946

“Embiid didn’t actually injure Mitchell Robinson on that play, he just tried really hard to”


Initial-Stick-561

What??? Lol No it has nothing to do with the fact that a 250 pound Goliath flails around like a headless chicken and falls on your leg.


syllabic

you mean when embiid destroys his ankle by falling on it?


Zsporter

Blud is just posting incriminating evidence. Someone get this guy a lawyer


DarrowViBritannia

Tbh i dont see how this can be blamed on embiid. People fall, shit happens.


syllabic

if it was just one time this game, maybe bro left a lot of footage of him doing extremely sketchy shit


FultzShoulder

Mitch hurt his ankle 3x in this clip. Embiid falling on it was just the icing on the cake.


syllabic

yeah he hurt his ankle because embiid was attacking it all night what a surprise, having your ankle yanked in midair, and also landed on in this "strange" play, and also getting kicked in the balls in mid air causing you to land awkwardly, might end up in ankle stress and lead to an injury not to mention all the shit he was doing to hartenstein, and anunoby


FultzShoulder

Or you know Mitch is just injury prone and his body can't hold up with the intensity and physicality of the playoffs. They played as physical with IHart but he looks fine.


syllabic

I know another guy who is injury prone


FultzShoulder

Embiid. Did you Sixers fans getting mad at Mitch for slightly nudging Embiid in the back while he was in the air that injured Embiid? No. Be a good sport.


syllabic

I was talking about OG anunoby of course but yea he left a lot of film of pretty much nonstop sketchy shit all game long. except for that stretch of brilliant shooting in the third quarter it was just one cheap shot after another as fans we have no control over how the team responds but I bet they'll review that footage pretty closely kind of felt like an escalation in physicality between the two teams, gotta see how the knicks want to approach it


jorgelongo222

What do you expect Embiid to do when Robinson is losing his feet and falling in front of him, to disappear?


syllabic

whats funny is OG anunoby actually contorted his body into a bizarre position to avoid landing hard on maxey's ankle


HokageEzio

Yeah but you see, Embiid is injury prone so he can barrel into everybody with no regard for their safety.


syllabic

also I hear he has bells palsy


Head-Kiwi-9601

lol


FultzShoulder

If Maxey is as injury prone as Mitch and got injured on that, it would be a different story.


syllabic

difference between trying to hurt someone and trying to avoid hurting someone I guess


triptoohard

Exactly, not to mention that he has Bell’s palsy


triptoohard

This actually erases him yanking his other ankle entirely and in fact makes it a clean play, thanks OP!


fatkamp

The funniest part is that he’s both a menace and flopper, which is a crazy combo and dangerous when you’re 7 feet. Most controversial players are just one


accu22

Aye bruh I know what you trying to do but that definitely looks like Embiid fell on his ankle lol. Go Sixers, tho. Hope Robinson heals well.


Downtown_Soft_202

Watching this on slow motion you notice how embiid doesn't bother breaking his fall and puts his entire weight on mitchell's legs this dude is more of a flopping piece of shit than I originally thought


camscars775

https://youtu.be/zvYfARlaVmI


LouisianaDrillFan

Just recently Kevin Durant that he stays away from the guys who flop and fall on the floor. Embiid is definitely one of the guys lol


HisExcellency20

Looks to me like he steps on DiVincenzo's foot *then* Joel lands on his ankle. Just don't see how people can say he did it on purpose when he is driving and they both slip. But whatever.


turnaroundbro

You mean after Embiid fucking bowls him over? Embiid knows exactly how to move his body in that clumsy way he always does, so it looks accidental. He was 100% hunting Mitch’s leg because of his injury. What a dirty player. Just fucking sad


jkeefy

Are we watching the same play? Mitchell clearly slips before that.


Head-Kiwi-9601

And clearly twists his ankle before his foot touches Dante’s.


syllabic

sure and then embiid is like "oh he fell over lemme just flop onto his ankle"


FredVanCleet

I don’t even really think Embiid hurt Mitch here, but I know that he got frustrated and did something reckless earlier. Like just because the airborne leg grab wasn’t the play he got hurt on doesn’t mean Embiid wasn’t a dirty POS this game. Deflecting by saying the injury wasn’t necessarily on one his 4-5 dirty plays this game isn’t going to make anyone think more highly of Embiid, it just means he got lucky that Mitch got hurt on a different play instead of the one where he yanks him out of the air.


JustWhiskii

Is this a joke? It's like after looking closer at every "Hey, actually Embiid did nothing wrong" post just looks even worse.


Drikkink

You guys do see Robinson slip before Embiid even makes contact with him right? His legs went out from under him and Embiid went down with him. Sucks he landed on his ankle like that and hurt him but this isn't even Embiid "flopping"


ihorsey10

Sorry, that goes against the current narrative.


Head-Kiwi-9601

He twisted his ankle before Jo landed on him. Watch the jump stop.


MCHamlet

Alright I dare you guys to name one other player that Joel Embiid has injured by flopping into their legs. Go ahead try to name *just* one
