He should go to the public courts on Lombard St and hustle randos the way Embiid used to (and still does?) during the off-season.

the only Sixers fan I’ve seen criticizing the refs over Simmons/Rivers is Joel Embiid

yeah blame for the sixers losing is pretty much

Simmons <=> Doc > anyone not named Embiid or Curry not being able to hit shots for big stretches > refs

the idea that the refs were decisive in that is mythmaking from a team playing like absolute dogshit and not because their opponent is a top defensive team

at a minimum, all they had to do was have the hometown announcer introduce Gnouy Eart for the Hawks. there's no way he'd be able to get a flight back from Oklahoma in time, even with his private jet waiting

i know it's bad sportsmanship but this is the playoffs, you take whatever advantage you can get

the “refs aren’t important” line is propaganda and a fake thought fans have . it’s ideology that they use because they don’t want to accept the refs throw games and series . there is no support for the idea that “refs don’t decide games or series” it’s a liberal fantasy like voting or free speech or we can talk to nazis

all the big bettors who make money on nba games track refs and which refs are calling which games because that’s one of if not the most important aspect of a game beyond glaring stuff like is Kawhi Leonard’s knee in one piece

for gods sake the nba is currently having a rules committee come up with changes to the rules to stop the bull poo poo call trae gets because the refs are completely out of control and have no idea what basketball is

it’s not even a rules change it’s just a wording change because the refs are so bad or corrupt they can’t understand basketball

Refs are bad and frequently screw up games = Correct

Refs specifically connived to eliminate the Sixers in order to elevate Trae Young = Totally deranged homer poo poo

I mean yes the rules do change to adapt to the current situation, that doesn’t mean anything Especial since Joel himself plays the ref game with his unashamed flopping

refs matter to gamblers because they can and do affect the point spread, and you'll note that I didn't say the refs had no impact

that the refs were decisive here is only possible because philly poo poo the bed in such a spectacular fashion that this series is gonna end up being remembered for being one of the worst playoff performances by a 1 seed ever

if the refs were just bad the bad calls would even out over a 7 game series . hence the inference of corrupt bias because they defiantly did not even put

Joel’s flopping was rather sucessful and him and Curry were the only impactful players.

it obviously was not the only issue . Simmons was terrible and curry was a disaster on defense

Simmons losing his confidence was about 50% the refs tho

Embiid having one knee was also an issue

it’s not a trick it’s simple statistical analysis. Trump had a 30 year track record of being evil so they were deliberately ignoring mountains of evidence to make their proclamations. I’m saying there isn’t conclusive evidence

just on a simple level if he is being fouled more often and the FTAs stay similar then it’s telling you that the refs are crooked not that they are calling it even or whatever you want in your liberal equality/ due process fantasies

they obviously call some fouls to cover their tracks from possible gambling investigations
