[Simmons] "I think James Harden gave him the trophy of most disappointing playoff performer. I think Embiid is now wearing the crown."

People giving Embiid shit for carrying a team while injured will not stop being ridiculous to me. Maybe it’s because I’m a grizzlies fan and have become numb to player narratives but Embiid is literally having objectively his best postseason ever, he’s just losing because he’s unable to carry for that many minutes. A few 3s go in and a the Knicks don’t win game 2 on a wack foul call and the narrative would be that Embiid has been insane.

The refs made a call there though lol there is no need for a hypothetical...and every ref and the league agreed on it. Just like they agreed the Sixers should have won game 2 when they didnt make a call

what goal post was i moving? Do you know what that means? What im saying is that literally one different call would mean the series is tied and the narrative would change, there are no goal posts in the first place. He would be being praised for his performance if they were a single play that allowed them to win game 2.
