All I’m saying is if anyone else did what embiid did he would be suspended for a game he purposely injured Mitch kicked Isiah in the groin smh
Yeah but Philly got robbed in game 2. So call it even. 6ers don't win game 3 without Embiid but refs stole game 2. 🤷🏿♂️
@@brandonwomack7379bruh what ? 😂💀 goofy
@@jgard1168calls it even for injuring a player who will be out for a few games
@@bsatb he didn't injure him. He got sustained that later
@@jgard1168 keep cool on the goofy talk. State your opinion respectfully or don't address me
Embiid should’ve been ejected
Cry about it
Refs at msg should be ejected
knicks shouldve been called for a foul in game 2, but like u knicks fans said to us: "cry me a river". getting cooked by a guy with one leg and have a face is crazy XD
💯💯💯
😂😭
If it was draymond he would be on trial. Im surprised Embiid wasnt offered free throws for that dirty play the refs love him so much
🤦🏽♀️ can’t compare the two,
Preach
It’s known they accounted for all of greens past incidents. Green can’t get compared to anyone else.
Hes soft,he cant contrst unless he goes to the free throwline
@@Ayo_Bruh22u mad couldn’t even beat Joel with one good leg
Joel embiid- The best ability is availability. Let me make sure the other center is unavailable.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You funny.
My exact thoughts when hearing him say that!
Dropped 50 on one leg, crazy they don’t respect this man
@@justincrump9621 ?? who doesn't respect him? everybody acknowledges he's one of the goats of his position and arguably most dominant offensive player since Shaq. maybe people don't respect him as a person or after that dirty play, as a sportsman, but almost nobody ever questions his ability...
@@LysergiCoyotl it wasn’t as much a dirty play, as it was a bad reaction from frustration of prior events, like I could say that other guy deliberately rolled on to Maxey’s ankle. Crazy. 🤦🏽♂️
If Mitchell Robinson had pulled on embiid's legs that way I GUARANTEE YOU he would've been ejected from that game
Yea he isn’t a star and also Embiid got fouled hard and didn’t want him stepping on and pushed his leg out of anger
I’m still wondering why Embiid wasn’t kicked out. Let that be Draymond. The sports world would go ballistic
Two different players goofy
@@dbutta2496shouldnt be any different
If it was draymond it would not be a leg grab lol he’d drop him and start swinging
@@thetruthishere8733prior history always comes into play despite the player. If the shoes were reversed and it was Jalen Brunson they wouldn't have ejected him either. Star players get special treatment. 5 years ago this would have been a common foul IF THAT. During the season flagrant 2 100% no denying it however Joel Embiids reasoning was valid behind it.
If he does do anything like this moving forward though... then he will be ejected 100% despite the time of year.
because it wasnt that serious. He got what he deserved, a flagrant 1
If there was one Knicks fan I would banish it would be Stephan A Sellout Smith😂
I hate that the @nba lets Emid play with a different set of rules. Any other player would’ve got kicked out or suspended.
Embid**^
Embid**^
and then they also give him a golden whistle
delusional
@@KidWhoWhat you must be delusional thinking he doesn't
Dude farmed on FT points and suddenly he is better than Jokic, Shaq etc ...
You must be a highlight warrior if you watch the game they was fouling him
Embiid couldn’t even hold Joker’s lunch box
@@M3LO he’s 7-2 against Jokic
He shot 13-18 from the field that’s without the free throws people got to stop hating
@@khyree_the_king3673 he is a flopper lmao
Stephen A saying he never seen Joel Embid make a dirty play is exactly how the NBA look at reviews. They go blind
Stephen A is delusional
Stephen A did not say that
@@justincrump9621Oh no?
3:50
@@justincrump9621In fact start at 3:45
This dude said he’s not a dirty player, while he doing a dirty play … The delusion
3:50 biggest cap in nba history
for real lmaoooo
lmao dude kicked 2 people on the nuts
literally embiid's whole career is a sequence of dirty plays lmao
This comment deserves more clout
This is why we don’t claim him as a Knick fan lol
A week into the playoffs and I don’t think ESPN has mentioned the Cavs / magic series
Honestly there isn’t much to talk about
They will if the Cavs get bumped off 💯
@@germwarfare5707 I wouldn’t be surprised
Nobody talks about Magic vs Cavs game series lol 😅
😂,… haven’t watched a quarter of that series yet
The Magic and Cavs won't get past the 2nd round. So why bother? Lol!
NBAtv doesn’t even want that series 😂
Knicks should file a grievance
Agreed
Naw because we’re not babies
@@viperrecords3288facts we not pussc like the sixers, they going home regardless anyways 🤣
@@Ssjiskkidjj.
We too gangsta for that
Embiid is a 100 percent dirty player
Don't fall on him then. He is on 1 eye 1 leg drops 50+ and you cry lmfao
So you won’t mention OG tryna injure Maxey
Ofcourse knicks fan gonna say that now while crying🤣
@nandog2597 are you dumb? OG fell on Maxey, felt Maxey foot and eased up off of him. OG is far from dirty
@@nandog2597 so what about jarrett allen? Nic claxton? Even russell westbrook.. embiid has a "HISTORY" of dirty plays
“I’m higher on Philly” needs to be clipped 😂😂
Sounds like a meek mill intro.
@@sibonisoduma5878minus the diddy
I usually do clip my blunt after I smoke about half.
NY is finna get Knicc’d! 🎯
Dirty player embiid
That jumper was dirty. Drilled one in everyone’s face.
Dirty embid should be his new name,he sucks!
@@SPACEKNOCKERZ76 Kool... since you want to over look his dirty plays. All the Knicks need to do is put in a bench warmer for a min or two to take out that hurting knee.
You’re right he’s filthy. 50 on your head.
I ain’t gonna lie Molly been looking right lately
Ong
Always a thirsty like u in the comments. Normally the guys who arent used to seeing or getting pretty women. Drooling over a 40something year old
Everybody hates on Molly but she fine af
Her surgeons and cosmetic products did a good job
Her being “fine” doesnt change the fsct that she doesnt shut up
She dropped 3 points after being with Jalen Rose
It’s the only reason she’s still on ESPN
If you were smart, you'd know how stupid that sounds 😆
Embiid dropped 50 points, shot more free throws than the entire Knicks team, got away with three flagrant fouls that should have been called, Maxey did his thing and got a little support from Cam Payne………… and the Knicks were still in the game. Knicks will be more disciplined in Game 4, they will take game 4 and then close out the series in Game 5.
Knicks shot 48% from 3 and lost. You have no chance without the refs gifting you wins
@@Trav-jd6mzlmao stfu bro embitch gets every call away from the rim and in the paint 😂 jokic is miles ahead of him the only thing embiid can do is shoot. You literally can’t touch him.
They had one quarter where they blew up. Knicks playing them well so far.
@@Trav-jd6mz embiid having as many FT as the entire knicks team sounds like refs handing the knicks wins? I've never heard something more ridiculous lmao
Joel Embiid should've been ejected
Nah Donte did the same thing to Oubre on the 10th that almost escalated into a brawl and no one said anything
@@ev11n7n donte didn't grab oubre out of mid air. and oubre didn't recently comeback from ankle surgery. cut the bs
@@ev11n7nwrong
Knicks should’ve stopped Joel
@@SPACEKNOCKERZ76 embiid shouldn’t have intentionally injured the one guy show was defending him well
Embiid had to play dirty and draw countless fouls to pull off a win smh
Joel Embiid is definitely a dirty player ngl
Name another time he was dirty
The Knicks will finish his season in game 4 as a payback
@@dbutta2496guy in the same quarter he kicked a guy in the nuts FOH
Every time he rebounds a ball, he swings his elbows at the opposing players' faces. Tries to make it look accidental when they get hurt, but I'm watching...
Stephen A Smith doesn't even know who is in the Knicks team.
Really dude? stop it there's hate and then there's blatant fallacy, don't be that guy
@@josephgreene4174couple weeks ago he gave praises to a player who wasn't on the team
Embiid elbowed Hart in the chest, shoved Donte, kneed Hartenstein in the groin and did a knee lock on Robinson on a shot attempt (SO DANGEROUS) so far in just 3 games. He was also dribbling erratic and dove at Mitchell Robinson's knees where Robinson got hurt on the play. Robinson got the foul of course even though he held his defensive position. He also gets a billion bogus fouls calls from the refs all the time. Just like Nick Nurse as the Raptors coach said that Embiid gets bogus calls his way too much in his favor. He gets the white glove treatment from the refs. DIRTIEST PLAYER! I wish the Knicks had prime Charles Oakley. Try that garbage vs him and he would knock his head off to the upper deck stands.
Didn’t jay williams say Embiid should have got a flagrant 2 lol
100% sure if the foul was on Embiid and he went out injured everyone would call him soft or a flopper. Keep the same energy. Letting a practically disabled Embiid drop 50 on you shouldn't be happening anyways.
I don’t think the Knicks gonna let that slide though…they’re coming for your ankle Embiid😂
About time they do
how can someone stand there and say Embiid isn't a dirty player? he's been dirty his whole career, he made 4+ dirty plays just last night, that's insane
That Ty Dollar Sign drop with the crowd in the background is 🔥🔥🔥
imagine if that was draymond green doing that, he would've been ejected and/ or suspended
Say it with me now, Philly, is, dirty. They got ALL the calls and THEN some from the refs. No way the Knicks lose this. We steal 1 in Philly then finish this off at MSG
Embiid is a clown. Doesn't have my respect making initially dirty plays
If that was draymond he would’ve been out for multiple games lol
That 50* has an asterisk on it due to 21 ft attempt 2 more than Ny whole team despite NY having 20+ points in the paint more than the sixers.
The entire Knicks roster can’t play defense. They excuse their hacking as just being “physical” but keep crying
@@jaquanwatson3196Lmao
@@jaquanwatson3196not even a Knicks fan but their defensive rating SMOKES the Sixers. Get Joel’s meat out your mouth dork
1) NY intentionally sent him to the line about 8 times
2) Embiid without freethrows scored nearly the same amount as Brunson with free throws. Suck it
Then don’t foul him🤣
Embiid should be ejected on that play
Embiid was having issues with Robinson guarding him, so he intentionally injured him and the league is quiet just like ESPN.
Mad quiet SMFH
Embiid killing on one leg 🤦🏾♂️ Couldn’t believe what I was watching
Steve you got kicked out the whip and we aint lettin you back in.
Where do they tape these shows? In NY & LA? Are they in the studio in NY now, on how SAS went to Philly to see the 76ers & Knicks last night? Hmm 🤔
Joel can’t play like that throughout the entire series though. Those health issues will hurt him in the playoffs.
cope
Yet he’s gotten better and has a career playoff high? Man is a beast on one leg and his health diagnoses
1:47 I agree when I saw him play I was like dang he makes 50 look easy
He drags Mitchell who could have fallen on his knee and hyper-extended it as in the original injury with Golden State. Should have been a flagrant and got him ejected. They not going to win with dirty plays like that if you one of the best(?) big men out there.
What’s up with mollys face she doesn’t even look like Molly rn lmao
The dream, The admiral, Kareem, wilt, Russell > Joel
NY Knicks 2024 NBA Champions. Chest out, speaking clearly as I say it.
Embiid is a dirty player and will retire ringless.
Embiid has twice as many flagrants as Draymond Green in half the amount of games but he’s not a dirty player? SA you’re sick.
I had bells palsy twice. That isn't going to impede him physically at all. Clears up on its own after 6-8 weeks.
But it causes blurry vision. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe vision is important when it comes to playing basketball.
@@dorya.2189 it does not. Your eye can get a little dry but that's about it. It's more annoying and is kinda embarrassing at times because half your face is temporarily paralyzed. I had it twice in my 20s, which is rare.
Molly saying”really?” Like isn’t it your job to keep up with games? 🤦♂️
It's her job to ask the questions that keep the show and conversation moving actually. Nice try hater 🥱
@@KidWhoWhatshe isnt gonna let u hit
The only way they can beat the Knicks is if Embiid scores at least 40.. … especially if Brunson regains his form like he did in game 3
4:08 “I want to see him and Dante DiVincenzo doing it together”
Stephen A Smith saying he hasn't seen Embiid have dirty plays is crazy, Embiid had 3 dirty plays in one game 🤣
What tha hell is Jay talkin bout, "...he gave u 50"? The refz GAVE Embiid (alone) mo foul shotz THAN THE ENTIRE NYK team!!! How iz that legitimately possible based on tha way tha NYKz play?
He didn’t deserve the MVP over Jokic either.
Noisecheck player hater
33 and 11 on over 50% shooting. Don’t forget defense.
@@TheBlackSands you just can’t stand a white boy winning. Also your name checks out.
NBA not even taking a look at that play for a possible upgrade for at least a 1 game suspension being the league is trying to protect players
A lot of people act like the Knicks are down 3-0, crazy.
50pts and 21pt of that from the line, and not get fouled called on him for the entire 2nd half.
I’m just laughing at these Knicks fans crying that a one-legged player get them worry smh
Love when jwill shows. He loves the game knows the game and is fair. Not a robot.
I’m historically a Sixers fan, but they don’t deserve this series. I hope Wnicks send them packing in two games.
I wonder if SAS still feels so heartbroken for Embiid? Honestly there is nothing wrong with Embiid, his knee condition is normal for someone his size. You can't drive to the basket and hit jumpers if you are seriously injured, its all an act. Everyone and their mother that plays high level ball can have meniscus issues, Embiid is just soft about his body.
"He's not a dirty player"
Mf he has more flagrants than Draymond in half the games
It sounded like the garden in there last night
Talk about how dirty of a player Embid is. The Knicks will finish his season in game 4. The Knicks has been soft on him.
That 50 comes with a ton of context. In the form of an absurd amount of free throws and being gifted a flagrant one instead of an ejection on an extremely dangerous non basketball play. One that would result in injuring his primary defender. 99.9% of players in the league would of been ejected and possibly suspended a game on that play.
The lovely molly❤
I was looking for this comment 😋
Knicks were in it until the end. So was Sixers in game 1 and got screwed in game 2.
The only way the sixers beat the Knicks embiid is going to have to drop a career high every game for the rest of the series which is not going to happen
Embiid was crying about the refs and they gave him half his points and didn’t eject him after that clear flagrant 2
Embiid is one of the best big men ever but he plays like he weighs 95 pounds and flops more then harden I hate it
Theres 0 way Joel plays that well for the series. They get 2 wins max
I’m convinced sports journalists are told to take opposite takes whether they believe what they’re saying or not for the sake of a debate
Most important thing is that Embiid play was inexcusable let alone the other three or four dirty plays. Secondly, it’s long past time for SAS to walk back his FRAUD about being a fan.
Embiid played DIRTY, there is no denying it. Refs turned a blind eye since they cost the Sixers game 2 in the last 5 minutes.
in the last 3 games 76ers look like a better team but Knicks are really giving max effort those 2 wins Knicks won were because of the extra effort they gave it shows that they want it more
I understand that the nfl draft was yesterday . But it’s blasphemy how quiet this Joel situation is . Clear flagrant 2 , suspension something . That foul had nothing to do with basketball . And all he responded about was the push off after the foul when Mitch was about to fall on him . No one is talking about this the way they should be . Bs
Embiid abused that free throw line last night. 😂Refs we’re in on that.
Stephen A calling Embiid one of the best big man ever, while justs shrugs Joker means that it's just skin color for him.
Jay watched three games the gave analysis of his “feelings”. They sound like the Knicks are down in the series
embid was given more gifts than Messi at the world cup.
Two games in a row where Embiid should’ve been ejected. Two years in a row where he’s purposefully attacked the legs of a center on the opposing team. Disgusting!
embiid committed 4 flagrant fouls last night, and only got called for 1
4:09 AAAYYYYYOOOO
Molly looking ju icy tho😅
Said he got bell palsey like it was a after thought
SAS saying he knew Knicks would win last night but predicted a NY sweep before the series
*lose last night
I love Embiid BULLYING PEOPLE. No more Smiling!!! Embiid is tired! Maxey isn’t smiling now either. The Knicks should start packing and reserving their rooms….IN CANCUN!
Making a dirty move makes you a DIRTY player Stephen A. Claim to be a KNICKS fan but on his knees for Philly. 😂
Yesss Jay tell em
Greatest big men??? He had a hot shooting night from the perimeter and got a couple extra calls. He was a 7'2" shooting guard for most of the night. It's a make or miss league. He made his shots that night. He seriously messed up his karma and probably team chemistry with that dirty move on Mitch, though. You can't really follow a guy who does something like that. Embiid is destined to be the greatest center of all time who never made it out of the second round.
People don’t understand that the playoffs get called different than the regular season that’s just how it goes. If Embiid did that in the regular season then yes he would have been ejected. The refs knew if they ejected him last night the series would have been over. As a basketball fan, I don’t want to see great series over becuz the best player gets ejected
It was a dirty play because Embiid just wants his way and nothing is going his way
Put in Sims, have him kick Embiid bad leg hard, pay for whatever fine he gets
🎯
They didn’t eject Embiid because of game 2. Now it’s all even, don’t do that again or you are gone.
Since Embiid getting weak fouls and free throws, Knicks should make him earn those fouls. Don't give him soft fouls. Make it worth it and make him feel them. He plays dirty, Knicks can do that too. I am sure Knicks will be waiting for the moment. Go Knicks!!!
They should have tossed EmBum from that game. Period.
All the commentors who wanted embiid ejected knew they had know shot of winning with him on the court lol
Joel embid is officially the second most dirtiest player in the NBA after this game. The only reason he wasn't ejected is because of the corrupt NBA and the NBA has no interest in the Knicks winning this series because they don't have any real supetstars just a great group of young talented players that not a lot of people know, the average person doesnt know who Jalen Brunson is
50 with the zebra's help. 21 free throws
Patrick Ewing was really good for the Knicks last night John Starks also
