Tom Thibodeau on how Jalen Brunson was officiated tonight: “I’ll send my clips in like I do every game, and then they’ll say ‘marginal contact.’ And then we’ll have marginal contact on Embiid, and he’ll be at the line 21 times.”

    Tom is going to be the most heavily fined head coach in league hist9ry by the end of this series

  4. AccountingSuckss

    I don’t understand, Brunson also got to the line 12 times. You fouled Embiid at the end of the game down by 7-9 points, intentionally, you literally drove that number up yourself?

    I hate the politics of the NBA and how it feeds into fan narratives. Feels so cheap

    It’s not just the amount of FTs he shoots.

    It’s that the teams defending him KNOW he’s about to go to the stripe 14-20+ times…

    He’s got defenders absolutely terrified to be anywhere within 2 feet of him as he shoots lmao

  10. JasonVorheebs

    I’d love to see Thibs in the lab cutting up clips on his computer

    Show the refs Embiid’s blatant hip check on OG. Martial arts contact ass

  12. JNerdGaming

    tom thibodeau must die peacefully of old age with 5 rings while being the head coach of the knicks

  13. Actually-Yo-Momma

    Groin kick should’ve been a flagrant as well and Embiid should’ve been ejected

    I’m glad we’re finally in an era that coaches and players alike are no longer biting their tongues on this god awful officiating. League isn’t just gonna keep handing out fines. This amount of complaining and shaming by the employees and players is bad for revenue and publicity. This will actually cause change.

    Decent people from all corners of the Earth would come together to watch Thibs beat the snot out of Nurse.

    Both Brunson and Embiid are annoying floppers. Wish they didn’t call fouls on either of them.

    The Brunson Embiid thing is reaching hilarious whattaboutism levels.

    One guy is 6’0” 190lbs, consistently guarded by 6’5”-6’7” wings and giving up 25-50lbs, drives and takes contact. Cant argue that he embellishes calls. The other guy is 7’0” 280lbs and topples over like he’s made of match sticks whenever someone gets near him.

    The two things are not equivalent. If Jalen Brunson is a FT merchant Embiid is the whole damn FT market

    More coaches and players need to step up and criticize these crap refs, let them fine everyone every time, see what happens

  24. VkansDEN

    A player drops 50 and is not even entertaining. Watching the whole game on disbelief on how a 50 point playoff game is so dull… most non dominant 13 fgs ever.

  26. Interesting_Help_194

    It hurts because it is true. This league is a joke unfortunatly and it starts with Silvers leukemia-ridden ass.

  28. Leroy--Brown

    True of anyone playing against embiid.

    Now do LeFoul

  31. LUFC_shitpost

    I genuinely want to know why ‘marginal contact’ has stopped applying to embiid in the last 2 seasons it’s become egregious.

  32. LuckyTNT87

    Imagine if Jokic or Luka had same amount of FT calls as Embiid. Thats some serious PPG. Jokic plays true it and don’t complain, Luka have history of complaining too much and neither get as many calls.

    I like new way of letting things be a bit more phisical but it need to be same for everyone.

  33. LurkerFailsLurking

    Embiid is *averaging* 15 FTA per game during this series. He’s had more foul calls this series vs the Knicks then ALL OF THE NUGGETS AND LAKERS COMBINED in Game 3 when both teams got more foul calls than either of them had during any other game this series.

    It should be a technical foul to deliberately engineer a foul call. That should be included in a flop. If you take unnatural or extraneous and atypical motion in order to create a foul against you, that should be a flop.

  34. aesop_fables

    Philly fans swear it’s just Knicks fans that are looking at them like fuck em. It’s basically the entire nba fanbase.

  35. WolfSavage

    Embiid mocking Brunson for looking for a call is crazy.

  36. IWouldLikeAName

    If they’re going to call that shit then they beef to start just playing bums and really fouling embiid he obviously doesn’t care about endangering players

  37. bronet

    I mean, the differenc is Brunson can be stopped with marginal contact, Embiid can’t.

    Does this guy think Shaq averaging a bunch of free throws was bullshit too?

  38. ShichikaYasuri18

    Thibs whining the entire season… why would he stop now?
