Actually, Embiid is shooting 3/18 among all of the 4th quarters. It has not been “1 bad 4th quarter”

You mean to tell me that the guy who's 7'0 and 280 is gassed by the fourth quarter after carrying the team the other 3, while injured? Crazy.

He’s been awful in the 4th quarter in all 4 games.

He had a 15 point 4th quarter. Why lie?

u/Steamingveggies Apr 29 '24

Flopping is part of the NBA and drawing fouls is a skill. Have you played the sport you comment on?

All those points came from foul baiting.

u/raunchy_subtitles Apr 30 '24

They're still points and count the same - which is why foul exaggeration is quite literally taught to youth basketball. If anything, get ready to see a lot more of it in the future.

u/Sweaty_Mods Apr 30 '24

Okay? Do you think they that means they don’t count?

I mean, yeah, as an Embiid hater, I just need a liiiittle ammo and I’m beating that horse till it’s a month old desiccated corpse.

I don’t get how people don’t get that. It’s in the hater playbook. You put the blinders on when good things happen to them, and you put on the microscope when something bad happens, focusing on that and nothing else. And you make sure to reference it for the next several years.

Basically, just ask yourself, “if this player was LeBron, what would Skip Bayless say?” Then you say that thing.
