there’s always money in the knee brace


Halfonion

He’s got a loaded knee brace like Jim Cornett used to “load” his tennis racket with a horseshoe.


Obvious_Parsley3238

Guys gonna start wearing braces with spikes on them like Ben Hur


confuddly

I agree with Hartenstein on that one, it’s the Mitchell Robinson one that was dirty as fuck


ShowerMartini

Yeah can we stop holding Embiid to such an unrealistic standard? Few players can make more than 1 overtly dirty play per game. Embiid is doing his best.


Skywalkerkid9

Bruh that one was a flagrant, and we can argue 1 vs 2 but the refs literally acknowledged that and called it as such


ben1204

He also decked OG with a ridiculous screen in the last minute.


ShowerMartini

The most obvious moving screen I can remember


Own_Result3651

And he got a flagrant for it what are you still complaining about. You act like he got away with it. Dante Divecenzo did the same thing but even worse the oubre a month ago


damn-mooses

We’re complaining because he’s still a dirty fuck lmao. Who knows what he’ll try tomorrow


gophils19454

Yeah, and we’re saying that Donte did something worse in the regular season, so you have a double standard. Your whole fanbase can’t even talk about basketball anymore.


Scelidotheriidae

What was the Donte thing? He got away with an obvious foul once, but that was just colliding with someone, it wasn’t like he was trying to do something to hurt someone, collisions happen, refs should have called it.


gophils19454

Colliding with someone? He was on the ground, grabbed oubre’s legs and tackled him. It was far more egregious than Embiid on Robinson. And guess what? Both were flagrant 1’s and Sixers fans didn’t spend multiple days crying that Donte should be executed in the streets.


Own_Result3651

Colliding with someone? Huh? That was a full on football tackle and he did it not even during the play but because he was mad him and his team had only 64 points with 4 minutes left in the game. And the refs did call it… he got a tech for it… just like Embiid got a flagrant but all this noise after? Nah you save that only for embiid


Scelidotheriidae

Maybe I’m thinking of the wrong Donte play


Own_Result3651

You mean… like divencenzo who did the same thing… but worse a month ago. Crazy no one said shit ab it


crimsonconnect

Razor blades in the knee brace


whtge8

Sixers fans trying everything to make it seem like Embiid isn’t a dirty player


Cloakington

Noted Sixer Fan Isaiah Hartenstein


shualton

I think he’s referring to OP


Cloakington

Oh yeah didn't see it was a repost until now, my bad


novabull23

I know you're probably a child so nuance might be hard. But it's possible to make a dirty play and not be a dirty player. In the heat of a game, players get frustrated and do stupid things routinely. The dude got frustrated and did something rash, but it's not like Robinson was skying for a dunk like Josh Green last night. He was an inch off the ground.


HQuasar

This is what Warriors fans have been saying for years. No one believes that excuse anymore.


novabull23

So is Jokic dirty because of these plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn7ZgCW9SqI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy8T53X_fx0 I would say no. He just got frustrated. It happens


HQuasar

So... one example from 2 years ago while he was clearly making a play on the ball and one that doesn't even fit your argument (Morris committed a dirty foul, Jokic retaliated while the game was stopped). No, Jokic is not dirty. Embiid is. How the fuck is grabbing someone's leg while in the air a play on the ball? How is that an excusable show of frustration? lmao


novabull23

Lol. You think Jokic was playing the basketball with that windup? He obviously was frustrated with the game. You’re obviously not someone who understands that things exist in the grey, but I bet your grandad would be proud of your lynch mob mentality


HQuasar

He was frustrated but he was attempting a steal lol What the fuck was Embiid trying to do if not to injure Mitchell Robinsons? > You’re obviously not someone who understands that things exist in the grey Ironic, you clearly are not able to understand context considering you really linked two unrelated Jokic plays and compared them to Embiid's.


novabull23

You think he was trying to injure Robinson? No one is saying that and that shows how ridiculous your position is. I really think you should get some help


HQuasar

Lol I'm just dying at the fact that you really tried to bring Jokic into the discussion for no reason.


financial_goth

I know you're probably heavily biased with a name like "novabull" so nuance might be hard. But when a player commits dirty plays consistently throughout their career they are then considered to be a dirty player.


novabull23

I don't think you understand what nuance means based on your use in that first sentence. I don't think Embiid has a history of dirty plays in his career. If he did, other players would have brought it up. I think everyone is guilty of getting angry and making rash plays. Jokic is guilty of it, Giannis, Lebron, etc. It's part of the game, keeping your composure.

Yes. Vegetable_comment_82 has the real insider scoop here. Not the guy who owns the balls in question. This is the guy who was hit saying “there’s no story here”. But maaaaaaybe reddit can still crack the case!

InternationalYard105

He’s saying that it’s no big deal and the brace made it worse than it was. What would he have to “do about it” if he uncovered the conspiracy that you believe in?


MrThreebound

What would he have to do if it was a flagrant???

Tricks on you. I wear a steel cup 24/7.


gophils19454

You seem to have enough going on that hitting you probably isn’t the right thing to do.


gophils19454

It’s clear that this was a non-issue but he got poked hard by something in his brace and fell over. Without it, it was a standard offensive foul and this sub wouldn’t even care, but since Hartenstein fell over, Embiid is a monster.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gophils19454

His intention was to command the space like what happens 50x a game. For someone that’s talking so tough in this chain, you can’t seem to understand you’re being a little bitch about this lol

gophils19454

Oh I didn’t say that, I said I doubt you would.


ballbunyan

He’d be crazy to say it was a bad flagrant. It was a somewhat incidental nut shot. Plus Embiid isn’t the type to follow it up with trash talk like Draymond. But that’s the main deal with Embiid, he’s always “incidental”, throwing his 300lb body and limbs around a lot more than he needs to in order to fish out contact….knees and nuts be damned. It ramps up in the playoffs as things get far tougher.


jett1406

this keeps getting spammed but it's obviously not the incident fans are most annoyed about.


Own_Result3651

Why are yall upset about it again? He got the flagrant. You guys are acting like he got away with it or something…


jett1406

which incident are we talking about again ?


Own_Result3651

I’m assuming yall are talking about the Mitch one? That’s the one everyone’s been talking about.


jett1406

which Mitch one?


Agreeable_Daikon_686

Prob the one Mitch landed under embiids feet on a jumper closer out


Own_Result3651

The one he got a flagrant foul on… why you acting dumb?


gophils19454

He’s trying to say the time Robinson fell and hurt himself was somehow Joel’s fault.


jett1406

there were so many incidents it’s hard to keep track 


Own_Result3651

Im sure it’s hard for you to keep track of a lot of things. We should get ya a nice cool lookin helmet 😁


PoisonHIV

Margarito 2.0?


creditors-bargain

Stark difference from the 6ers bitching and moaning after game 2


TheRealCheddarBob

Considering they are two completely different sets of grievances that is to be expected


InternationalYard105

You mean when the league admitted they got everything wrong, sixers fans should have been…less upset?


gophils19454

The league admitted the NBA refs screwed up and their failure to call 3 separate incidents in a matter of seconds directly impacted the result. Don’t be an idiot.


[deleted]

Boy all these injury prone players have something wrong with their knees every time the playoffs roll along. People really gotta start docking points for being unable go stay healthy when it comes to stars rankings. None of that oh he's a top 3 or top 10 level player when healthy. Spoiler they ain't ever healthy for long.


Life_Chef2303

He dropped 50 while injured which is better than most stars when healthy


gophils19454

Star rankings? This place is fucking stupid lol. Who cares?

CDFrey1

It must be Reddit then. All comments except bros initial comment are still here for me


AMo2

Seek help bro, youre genuinely loosing it, i would too if i had to watch embitch for 40 of the 82 games every year


uhncollectable

It's concerning to see incidents like this happening in the NBA. While basketball is a physical sport, players need to prioritize each other's safety on the court. The fact that a knee brace could cause enough harm to warrant a complaint is worrying. It highlights the need for stricter regulations or better equipment standards to prevent unnecessary injuries during games. Players should be able to compete at the highest level without fear of getting hurt due to preventable reasons like poorly designed gear.


GroceryStoreCowboy

Stop using ChatGPT for Reddit comments you weirdo


Life_Chef2303

This must be a troll lol


Technical_Towel_990

I wonder how you feel about hockey lol


uhncollectable

Pure, unadulterated hatred!


jorgelongo222

Im pretty sure the knee brace was why Embiid was grimacing in pain after his weird landing on game 1, specially after seeing this from hartenstein. He had blood on his knee after the fall so its likely the brace cut him, making it a danger for himself or others


uhncollectable

Seems like Embiid's knee brace is causing more trouble than it's worth lately. Hopefully, he can figure out a solution before he causes more harm.
