Yeah, when it comes to playing them in the playoffs, the Bucks are incredibly unlikeable too. Sure, Embiid is probably easier to hate, but it's nowhere close to an "infinite" difference. Just wait until Giannis starts mowing down Celtics like bowling pins with elbows flailing everywhere.Giannis is pretty rough tbh. Big Jimmy Butler.
I think the difference between a flagrant 1 and a flagrant 2 is the actual contact. Embiid meant to kick him in the nuts and missed. Harden seemed to intentionally throw his fist down there and made contact.If you don’t think Embiid’s intent was to kick him in the balls there’s a bridge the home team would like to sell you…
Was thinking the other day.. could you imagine a team of all PJ Tuckers and Eric Gordons?PJ Tucker may be more washed than ever but dude still has all NBA expressions.
Dinwiddie is not great.That was awful. Call aTO and set a play
Especially when you don’t have a real creator.That was awful. Call aTO and set a play
also... the Nets are playing 5 smallish wings.... I would hope a PF can grab the rebound while playing with a dominant center against that lineupAnnouncers being impressed with PJ Tucker's ability to occasionally grab an offensive rebound will never fail to amuse me. Dude doesn't dribble, doesn't drive, doesn't make plays for others and barely sets any screens. All he does is sit in the corner and hit 1.8 shots per game, in 26 minutes. He better fucking grab the occasional offensive rebound, because 3.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and .8 in 25.6 minutes per game is about as bad as it gets in terms of offensive production.
In related news, Spencer Dinwiddie is such an empty calorie player.
LOL!Was thinking the other day.. could you imagine a team of all PJ Tuckers and Eric Gordons?
Fair, though Embiid did make contact so not sure I reach the same conclusion. I guess the argument is that ‘excessive’ for a ‘tried to hit in balls And only hit in leg’ doesn’t meet the standard? That’s a very odd set of incentivesI think the difference between a flagrant 1 and a flagrant 2 is the actual contact. Embiid meant to kick him in the nuts and missed.

You can tell Harden meant to do it because he threw his arm down there. If he just meant to get space then he would have swung his arm into his chest like he always does... and every basketball player does.
There's no reason for him to angle his arm that way unless he planned on doing what he did IMO.
He had the other guys arm hooked though.He got pushed that time

Watching these games it’s stunning how bad their offensive sets are (and I never notice or care about that type of stuff). People standing in basically the same spot, no spacing…just looks like an awfully coached team. Which kind of tracks because Vaughn has been terrible at every stop he’s hadRemember when people thought Jacques Vaughn might be a really good coach? That was a neat couple of weeks.
I mean.. they're just barely beating the Nets..The Celtics are going to absolutely curb stomp the Sixers. It’s going to be incredibly enjoyable to watch those frauds get ran out of the gym
I make it nine. Last two of the Bucks series in '21, all four vs Boston last year, and these three.What is that, 8, 9 straight Nets playoff game losses?
