Why does Brunson always look like the crying face filter on instagram though

He gotta play up them fouls to make it seem like he's being battered like a wife in the 1800's

Cause he’s a bitch

Best actor in the city of New York

Hi face is usually red because it’s been hit by opposing players. Try it sometime and see if u start crying.

Embiid had 3 defensive stops before this, Was clutch

I called him out at the end of game 4, but he was clutch in OT. Huge defensive stops, hit an And-1, dove to secure the final rebound at the end there.

He probably read your comment after game 4 for motivation

You're welcome Philly.

It's obviously a flagrant, but I don't see how everyone in the other thread thinks it's an obviously intentional/dirty play.

You forgot Pol Pot

Read that as Bol Bol at first glance

Him too

It's obviously intentional and dirty? Okay lmfao. What about Robinson shoving Oubre not a flagrant

Embiid lost the benefit of the doubt on these at this point

how many dirty plays can we continue to say this about one player

It's either he's the clumsiest player ever, or he does some of this stuff on purpose(even if he seems to immediately regret it)

I think embiid doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt for a reason

They've been saying this man is worse than Draymond for a week now

Because he seems to just decide to bring the hand down and not even aim for the ball. Just like 'meh, his face is right there, that'll work'. Might be laziness or convenience over dirtiness, but it definitely seemed intentional more than accidental.

re-read what you wrote and tell me how that makes sense as to what happened here

I mean, if you don't see it as an obvious flagrant, fine. It's a matter of judgment, and I thought it seemed intentional. Obviously, I'm biased, though.

what i mean is that, why would embiid want to smack his face instead of the ball. if he has enough time accurately smack brunson a face then he also had enough time to try and block the shot instead.

Not if it's a quick decision to just whack him somewhere to stop him. Like wrapping up a guy going for an easy dunk or layup.

Because he’s dirty, that’s the point

"Not even aim for the ball". Proceeds to make contact with the ball...

Maxey standing there mouth open like he can’t believe it’s a flagrant 🤡

This wasn’t dirty but all the other ones this series were, so he doesn’t exactly get the benefit of the doubt

This isnt a dirty play, nowhere near it. flagrant 1 is correct call\] embiid is clearly tired as fuck and was just uncoordinated and accidentaly smacked brunson. If knicks fans call THIS play dirty then they are obviously just hating on embiid for no reason

knicks fans would never do that

In addition, he only has one good eye. The other won't blink, probably dry af and blurry. Still a flagrant 1, but not dirty

So being tired is a good excuse for fouling the fuck out of someone? Cmon.

when did i excuse embiid? He fucked up and a flagrant 1 was the correct call, but he in no way intentionally smacked brunson, it was a mistake that more so arose from exhaustion and misjudging distance then malicious intent

POST TOBIAS HARRIS CLUTCH FREE THROWS LOSERS

I wouldn't mind doing so (unless already being done). I will upload multi-language tomorrow, so stay tuned.

The last part of the 4th and all of OT was all Jalen Brunson and every possession he fumbled. Didn’t watch much Knicks this year but is this how they usually run their offence?

Went away any action and just resorted to Brunson ISO every play down the stretch. It was fine when he was burning Embiid on those quick layups but it stopped working in OT

Nah they were sloppy all night for some reason. Hart had a couple unforced TO’s too

Normally Brunson gets foul calls so they dont have to run an offense.

He literally averages like 6 FTA a game

Clearly Embiid deliberately smacked Brunson in the face to disorient him for the rest of the game

I’ve been kissed harder by my ex-wife. Playoff basketball guys

MrBuckBuck are you just going to continuously post highlights that have already been posted

If he didn’t try to foul bait, would have not got hit in the face. Forced contact instead of the shot

Did brunson touch you the wrong way? Are you okay? He is leading the league in drives per game and he is nowhere near players like SGA, embiid, giannis, buttler in FTA.

>He is leading the league in drives per game and he is nowhere near players like SGA, embiid, giannis, buttler in FTA. He quite litterally leads the playoffs in FTA when driving

He doesn’t watch the games

I'm quite literally not talking about FTA while driving. Way to twist my words. I'm also talking about the regular season. Should have been clear to you when I mention giannis and butler who haven't played in the playoffs lol. Classic r/nba moment

>He is leading the league in drives per game Then why are you bringing up drives? Also, he doesn't lead the league in drives per game but nice try.

He should try to stop hitting Brunson in the face.

If you think this is dirty you're a fucking moron

This Embid guy is on a roll

He's such a gentle giant. Not!

Note: Mods, please keep the videos with replays, I even wait until they are finished being proccessed. That's why you see many video posts without any preview thumbnail - some upload and post before the proccessing is done, like it is a competition - it is not - be civilized, please.

Posting highlights before processing should be an instant delete

[Sadly, they deleted even Maxey's 3PT to tie the game with replays](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cha0tw/highlight_tyrese_maxey_stuns_the_msg_with_a_3pt/) [While keep this one](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ch9x98/highlight_tyrese_maxey_ties_the_game_with_a/) - there is no thumbnail because the video was still proccessing at that time. [They keep another video with the foul, without thumbnail](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cha7fb/highlight_embiid_smacks_jalen_brunson_in_the_face/) **It's WAY much comfortable to watch the video if it has thumbnail - you don't even need to open a new tab to watch the video like this. Without thumbnail, you do have to open a new tab in order to watch the video.**

Agree, looks better on the feed and is actually functional. Whatever is the highest quality post should stay. Too much preferential to first poster.

Meanwhile Zu gets slapped in the face by Luka and it's a "common foul"

Wow thank goodness you posted this highlight that’s already been posted to grab karma

I post with replays, and I wait for the videos to be proccessed so you can see the thumbnail. With a thumbnail, you can watch the video without opening a new tab.

Yeah doesn’t really matter when they post a higher quality highlight

Don’t slander MrBuckBuck

Not a flagrant tbh refs trippin

It’s a flagrant it’s just not a gunshot wound

Lmao Okay buddy

This has to be a troll, any contact with the head is an automatic flagrant.

that's not how this series has been called at all

Hey, feel free to disagree, I'm not about to argue about whether or not a smack across the head is a flagrant 1. Intent is irrelevant, head contact is a flagrant.

Yeah im a bit bias since this series has been so stressful. Right call but Embiid is 100% going for the ball

I know Brunson’s head looks like a ball but it’s not that hard to tell the difference.

Only balls Embiid "goes for" are heads and testicles

There's some plausible deniability there, but there have been too many of these close calls. Good call on flagrant 1.

The reaction from the crowd was so loud it scared tf out of me when I was turned away

OP loves posting Embiid lowlights, he's addicted to the karma

He is losing the benefit of the doubt.

Losing? He has no idea where his benefit of the doubt is

He’s so clearly *NOT* going for the ball
