    Overreact much on the Embiid head shot to Brunson? Wow. That wasn’t that big of a deal. Brunson buried his elbow in to Embiid’s chest prior to that. While it is playoff basketball, never understood how the offensive player can initiate so much contact and get foul calls on the defense. Although Embiid definitely fouled him. Being a fan of neither team, it has been a very entertaining series to watch but quite frankly, while both are great talents, I find both Brunson and Embiid equally annoying.

      If sixers are being smart, they should give the keys to Maxey and build around him by trading Embiid. Treat him like Iverson in early 2000s.

When Embiid sttuggles it's always considered his fault.. But now This is more like the nuggets in the sense that we have a number 1 and our number 2 is clutch enough to hit game winners or in this case send us overtime.
