FIBA refs gave Embiid a flagrant when he tried to save a flopper from crashing
Meanwhile KD (coming off an injury no less) gets body checked & the dude gets away with a common foul

Such a dumb ejection. Rui was the key reason this game is close

Soft ass ejection. All this talk about how FIBA is more physical and Rui gets ejected for grabbing Gobert’s arm.

Right after back to back 3s too…

His best basketball is ahead of him. Factoring in contracts I wouldn’t trade him straight up for Grant.

I’ve been so vocal about this the past year. If we keep this core we might actually see a HUGE breakout season this year. Rui looking goooooooooooooood

I wonder if JJ is watching.

Nba or olympics still anemic rebounds.

That’s why i don’t care for FIBA and they brought that same flopping to NBA. How did Rudy G win DPYA? There at least 5 other players in the NBA that i would rather have on defense. I mean he was as soft as Downy in the WLCS….I can only hope that France makes out the Gold game and plays USA then we’ll see how good he is on defense. I mean the defense player of year should dominate right 😉

Rui needs to rebound.

He was amazing today. Unfortunately the inconsistent refs ejected him for the same moves I saw happen in USA vs Serbia multiple times (and no ejection).

Someone his size only getting 3 boards is ridiculous
That said, everyone is complaining about the foul call, it’s a normal call with FIBA rules. He didn’t make a play on the ball.

FIBA had to save the home team. As for the rebounds, at least in this game, kinda hard when you’re also tasked with defending people who are much taller.

the refs were home cookin at the end there

Ejected on some soft shit too

Softest ejection ive ever seen on the world stage for a star player so far. The 1st one was egregious tbh
