76ers (34-16) at Celtics (25-25) Game #51 4/6/21

[Atzar]

Why do the refs love Embiid so much?

Honestly?  Because nobody in the league can guard him without fouling. 

[jpotter33]

Timelord is falling into the trap, but how they call Embiid is just sickening. Really just how they call this kind of offensive crap is sickening. Everything is just seeking fouls at this point.

[blink]

good def SMART!

[Alec14]

Doc knows how to use timeouts. Gonna tell his guys to just force the ball to Marcus, hero Smart is coming.

[liam]

Tacko!!!!

[jpotter33]

Excellent D by Smart there.

[celts55]

Is Brown still playing? Haven’t seen him touch the ball this half

[GreenCoffeeBean]

All part of the learning process for Time Lord.

[Chief]

Tacko no need to double

[jpotter33]

You see that, Brad? Doc called a timeout AS SOON as he sensed that momentum shift.

[Indocelts]

Smart with already 8 FG attempts. Not a good sign.

it is a pretty big contrast to consider how much leway Smart gets when he guards vs Timelord.  I mean Smart gets into guys, and holds, and leans and pushes, but he doesn't get the ticky tack fouls.

Brown and Tatum need to learn how to impact a game with having to score.

Smart with already 8 FG attempts. Not a good sign.

So very true

But what are those fouls? He keeps the ball low then raises it up quickly, smacking it against his defender's arms and he gets the whistle. How do we not foul there? Keep our hands no where near where he can initiate contact with us? I see JT and JB get absolutely obliterated going to the rim, and these ticky-tack fouls on Embiid get called?
