    He can't carry anymore, he has not taken care of his body.

    How about not having your franchise player out there in a 30 point blowout with four minutes left. Looking at you, Doc.

    I said it was intentional when it happened, you see Boucher go for it on purpose. I know it's the playoffs but during regular season that's at the very least a flagrant 1 with a strong chance of a flagrant 2.

    Raptors fans, announcers, players deserve some flack. Fans and announcers for heavily cheering on injuries and players for intentionally throwing cheap shots at Embid when it was obvious they no had shot at winning. I always thought Toronto fans were classy but this series changed my mind.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat sweep, even with all their injuries. This is like when Yao went down yearly, you knew it was over.

    the toronto fans have always been trash lol

    They are a young fanbase of bandwagoners just like the warriors. They cheered when kd went down too

    Raps fan saying that elbow by Siakam was unintentional..come the **** on. It was immediately after Embid dunked it and did his airplane gesture and the crowd was raining down boos, Siakam fed off that and led with the elbow right into his face. He got the flagrant. I thought it was clearly intentional right when I saw it. and then the announcers..classless as hell saying he deserves it and it's karma..awful fanbase.

    Embiid is literally the only person I like in the 76ers organization. I wanted Harden and Morey to fail, but not at the expense of Joel getting injured. That's tough.

    Embid should not have been in that game when it happened

    I'd agree with this but the Raptors were still playing hard and doing a full court press. and Doc has a reputation of blowing leads fast. This shouldn't excuse the classless actions of a frustrated loser in Siakam who couldn't contain himself. Him and Embid are supposed to be friends with Cameroonian ties too.

    it's completely on adam silver for not punishing this kinda garbage. If he got a 15-20 game suspension, the next guy would think twice (and draymond would be playing in europe)

    There is definitely a Harden Curse
    Similar to the CP3 Curse. Mayube CP3 breaks his this year
    but
    This is like the 3rd time Harden had a legit shot (this is probably the weakest)
    that was taken away by injury.

    CP3's Hamstring
    Kyrie's Ankle
    Now
    Embiid's Orbital Bone

    The league is too busy trying to limit how many free throws Harden shoots instead of protecting players.

    Seven days for him to clear concussion protocol. He got stitches on his eyebrow, so I assume it's the upper part of the bone that was fractured (no surgery).
