You compare that to what Jokic got thrown out for, and it's no comparison. He's clearly creating a confrontation and escalating the situation. And it's not like Collins was taking some cheap shot, he had every right to be pissed with the initial contact. 100% my thoughts. Jokic deserved a flagrant 1 because of the windup, but he was going for the ball. Embiid should have been upgraded to a flagrant 1 for hitting Collins directly in the face. And I don't blame Collins for shoving Embiid afterwards because he was just lying on top of him. Furthermore Embiid was entirely responsible for the aftermath. I don't know if he should have been ejected in a vacuum, but what he did was worse than what Jokic did and if that's the standard he probably should have been tossed. This also is why double technical fouls are so weak. I get it in a 50/50 to 60/40 situation, but that was pretty much all on Embiid at all three phases of the confrontation.

Maithanet Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I am honestly shocked that Leonard goes down and then the clippers win two straight to eliminate Utah. The clippers without Kawhi vs the suns without Paul.... That's just great. The jazz had an incredibly open path to the finals and the blew it. What a disappointing 1 seed. Hopefully Paul comes back at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 To be fair Mitchell was clearly hurt and Conley basically missed the series. Gobert is also just not that good in the playoffs as he can be schemed off the court. DPOY my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I don't appreciate Embiid very much either as a person or a player, and Ben Simmons is astonishingly flawed for such a gifted player, so the Sixers are hard for me to like. But it seems like Curry looked around the room and said to himself, "Well, none of these other guys is going to get it done, so I suppose it is time for me to unleash it." Good for him.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'm picking the Bucks to win tonight. Nets at full strength destroy them easily, but this is basically a repeat of the 2019 Finals with different injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Lmao, Brown got played on that tech. It's looking neck and neck so far, thinking it'll come down to who gets fatigued the most and whose bench steps up maybe? Eta: Middleton has shot much better at home then the road this series, that's what I'm most concerned about for Bucks chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Middleton and Holiday are brickcity for the first half. Bucks lucky to only be down 6. Eta: What a great 3rd quarter, 1 point game still ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta: What a great 3rd quarter, 1 point game still ! It is. We just arrived in Gulf Shores for vacation. I’m just now really sitting down and getting settled. Looking forward to a strong finish. Worthy of Game Seven from what I’m seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The second half has certainly been more compelling than the first. Glad I resisted my urge to tune into something else. I'm loving how physical both teams are playing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I used to think Jrue was one of the most underrated stars in the league, but this singular game will be a stain on his entire career. He's been reprehensibly bad on both sides of the court. What a nightmare for the Bucks. Don't think they can recover from this last minute or two of momentum.
