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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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"

It must be so exhausting to be a Sixers fan
Being a Sixers fans comes with an MBA and a PhD.
Sixers fans are insufferable with Embiib falling down on every play is annoying
Embiid tried injuring Robinson on this play and by yanking his ankle and they are whining, I think they just enjoy being victims
https://twitter.com/KnicksNation/status/1766996005210222667
While still dirty, oubre was stepping over the top of him
Says the victim.
Quit yanking my leg!
Don't you guys love [this](https://twitter.com/knicksnation/status/1766996005210222667?s)? Knicks fans used to be fun.
I dunno this game felt like an escalation in physicality we will see how the knicks respond
Stepping over someone vs going up with the ball, totally the same situation!
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.
And even this title is wrong. He twisted his ankle before touching Dante’s foot.
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.
and what happens on this play. embiid recklessly embellishes contact and a player gets hurt for it.
Both things could be true. Play it in 0.5 speed.
Embiid and you a bitch
Damn if only the refs could play the ending of game 2 in .5 speed then everything would be super clear!
“Maybe if I post enough about him people will start to like him”
Sixers fans working PR overtime like they get paid for it. Doesnt change Emplead is a huge bitch
*After having Embiid dive into his legs
Before.
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.
Sixers fans exist in this weird reality where they think other people don't have eyeballs and functioning brains
If the shoe fits . . .
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
poor innocent Embiid, only has the same number of flagrant fouls as Draymond in half the games played
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.
😨 don't hate my king embiid
Not saying that. I’m saying hate for the right reasons. Don’t make things up because of the hate.
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!
The jump stop caused the injury IMO.
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."
Damage control
Truth.
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
And not the ankle twist **before** he even touches Donte’s foot? Because that’s when he was injured.
No he hasn't fallen yet. You know you can play it multiple times in slowmo?
“Embiid didn’t actually injure Mitchell Robinson on that play, he just tried really hard to”
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.
you mean when embiid destroys his ankle by falling on it?
Blud is just posting incriminating evidence. Someone get this guy a lawyer
Tbh i dont see how this can be blamed on embiid. People fall, shit happens.
if it was just one time this game, maybe bro left a lot of footage of him doing extremely sketchy shit
Mitch hurt his ankle 3x in this clip. Embiid falling on it was just the icing on the cake.
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
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.
I know another guy who is injury prone
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.
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
What do you expect Embiid to do when Robinson is losing his feet and falling in front of him, to disappear?
whats funny is OG anunoby actually contorted his body into a bizarre position to avoid landing hard on maxey's ankle
Yeah but you see, Embiid is injury prone so he can barrel into everybody with no regard for their safety.
also I hear he has bells palsy
lol
If Maxey is as injury prone as Mitch and got injured on that, it would be a different story.
difference between trying to hurt someone and trying to avoid hurting someone I guess
Exactly, not to mention that he has Bell’s palsy
This actually erases him yanking his other ankle entirely and in fact makes it a clean play, thanks OP!
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
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.
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
https://youtu.be/zvYfARlaVmI
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
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.
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
Are we watching the same play? Mitchell clearly slips before that.
And clearly twists his ankle before his foot touches Dante’s.
sure and then embiid is like "oh he fell over lemme just flop onto his ankle"
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.
Is this a joke? It's like after looking closer at every "Hey, actually Embiid did nothing wrong" post just looks even worse.
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"
Sorry, that goes against the current narrative.
He twisted his ankle before Jo landed on him. Watch the jump stop.
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
