The flopping and flailing didn’t help him cause the officials probably thought he was selling it more then it was a foul. If he just plays it out it’s probably more of a chance they don’t think he was trying to draw the foul. Didn’t help since they struggled to get the ball so the officials may have also believed he was selling it to get the foul due to not being able to inbound it cleanly
April 23, 20241 yr They reviewed this and still got it wrong. Refs absolutely let them play today and every series has been like that. Sixers need to adjust at this point as well. It amazes me that NBA players forget they should actually run the baseline instead of taking a step or two.
April 23, 20241 yr If you wanna positive outlook on this which is really hard to go with right now, I really can’t blame in embiid or maxey. If this series continues this way with them and they lose it’s not on them. They have shown up. Rest of the team is the issue. Like when they lost to Boston last year embiid and harden no showed game 7 and weren’t good game 6. When they lost to Miami that was also not the case. Embiid is averaging 31.5 ppg, 9 boards and 6 assists. Maxey is averaging 34 ppg, 5.5 boards and 7 assists.

Even after the initial play , how about he get up off the floor and guard Donte or the other three standing around the rim box someone out. Maxey still had two opportunities to win the game after that play and the 2nd one he definitely froze.

April 23, 20241 yr Author nba refs are the absolute worst...swayed by home fans & league agendas. sixers still had their chances...but the deck was stacked against them all game long.

The NBA wants them in the finals every year if possible. I'll never forget Mike Bibby getting called for a foul for his face getting in the way of Kobe's elbow
April 23, 20241 yr Not to be that guy but the 4 missed free throws from Joel would have been the difference between a win and loss. I don’t put the blame on him though. Maxey had a few chances to take it to the rim in the 4th and either score or draw a foul but it seems like the moment was too big for him.
April 23, 20241 yr 6ers bench sucked. Refs weren't good but lots of things the 6ers could have done to not make it such a close game and leave it in the hands of the refs. 6ers let us down last night. As always.
