[Highlight] Eric Collins after Joel Embiid got fouled: “He is a merchant. He is a free throw merchant. Embiid misses the first free throw - Collins: “The basketball gods have spoken”
Best part is the long pause where he decides if he wants to say it
Haha yeah he was debating with himself internally if he should remain professional or let his inner thoughts takeover
Can u post the Drummond Jokic pass and then Maxey’s poster on bridges?
The Drummond pass was wild lmao
Those were sick
“Ball don’t lie.” - Eric Collins
Why use many word when few do trick?

This sixers team has so many weapons. Charlotte has no answer for Embiid.
Big physical centers crush us
As good as Mousa is, this is what we’re missing to be real contenders.
Not drafting Clingan or Edey is kinda killing you all.
Moose is fine for us, hes been so much of a problem on the board that teams cant deal with him.
Its literally that NOBODY can deal with Embiid amd thats always been the case.
Bulls didn’t need a big center for the second threepeat
Did I miss the fax saying Jordan is on our team?
He technically is xD
I’m not saying he was good but Luc Longley was 7’2
Yeah fair
You use small guards to attack their knees and arms and wrap around them.
especially floppers
Charlotte hasn’t had an answer for Embiid for 10 years
I was gonna say the same for you guys.
scoring a basket would be nice, but the regression to the means has been violent this game, stupidly cold from everywhere
Yeah. This game has exposed us. We’ve had a nice year but we’re still so far away
It didn’t expose anything.
A healthy Sixers team is still probably the hardest team to beat in the entire NBA because of Embiid so losing to them by four points isnt an issue.
The issue was one player looking off of his teammates as if he was still back in Chicago and our coach not putting Moose back in much sooner which hurt us bad in the last four minutes of the game.
5o be fair nobody does
No answers for the refs, either.
Horrible calls all night, on both sides honestly. The league needs better refs.
Damn the casuals have invaded the regular subs as well now.
Exact same call Coby white got 7 seconds earlier btw
So what? It’s a flop
So the refs shouldn’t make calls consistently?
Lol they shouldn’t call flops
So they shouldnt make consistent calls, should’ve just said it.
Such a Reddit response. Sure consistently call fouls
This a flop
So if coby whote gets the same foul call, why should Embiid not?
Stfu dude it’s not a foul
So the refs should call a foul against the sixers then not call the same foul against the hornets?
Now THAT is a truly reddit response.
You’re really this annoying?
You think that’s a foul?
I don’t fw Embiid but that’s an easy blocking foul
Not at all. Throws himself into defender and flops
You don’t know ball it’s cool
By looking at this sub you would think the Sixers were getting blown out by 20 and Embiid has been held scoreless.
Redditors remembered how easy it is to get upvotes from raging about everything Embiid does
And Draymond.
Embiid doesn’t throw flying dick kicks mid game
Stumbling forward and falling down on a drive is a foul on whichever defender happens to be in front of you?
Welcome to the NBA in 2026. It’s a foul to literally stand in front of Embiid.
as long as you flop. refs seem to like that
I love how bias Hornets commentators are. Grant Williams got a foul 7:30 in the 4th and they said “how smart is Grant Williams” he missed bof btw
Say what you will about the Hornets commentators, but they definitely aren’t biased
I’m a sixer fan, but they were definitely flustered by the fouls Embiid was getting, but called Grant Williams smart by getting in position to confuse the refs. And honestly I don’t care, every home team announcers are biased, your crew is great. But to say they aren’t biased isn’t true, it’s almost impossible to not be.
They definitely are. They also aren’t great play-by-play guys and dont do much technical analysis. They just seem to try to “vibe” the whole time.
Genuinely wondering do they have any recurring segments from game to game? Like the spurs have Sean Elliot get on the Telestrator and breakdown plays; is there anything similar to that.
_______ merchant has become such a tired and lazy cliche.
Diabolical
Embiid is the Poster Boy for it
7ft 300lb Embiid has been to the line just 2 more times than Brandon Miller and everyone losing their minds lmao
Maaaaan why are you acting like this guy hasn’t been doing this shit for years
The amount of nonsense that has gone the hornets way this game from refs they really don’t have much room to complain. Pretty horribly refed game all around.
they said my goat washed now he got announcers in their feelings again we’re so back
still won’t play in denver lol
Lmaooo
At this point everyone is a FT merchant and every qb is a checkdown merchant
Unwatchable
boo hoo post the maxey dunk
What the fuck was that??!
They’d be calling for Alaa’s head if he attacked a player like that 😆
In 2 years every HS kid in the country will be flopping like Embiid and SGA.
BuckBuck on a generational hating run today
He posts everything
Up until the Maxey dunk he was posting Hornets highlights and Sixers lowlights. I said what i said.
Why do people say “I said what I said”
It’s something I’ve often seen said, and it just makes no sense to me. Like, ok? Yes you said. Doesn’t mean it’s true, or it holds, you get last laugh, or whatever. Idk, maybe it’s a me thing, always found it odd.
This is no indictment if your comment in any way, just the first time I’ve seen it on Reddit lol
Hornets have much mire FTs than 76ers and those guys still are crying WTF.
Dude stays flopping
I wonder if all the throwing himself to the floor for fouls is what has exacerbated some of his injury problems
Didn’t realize he’s an r/nba shit poster
Boooooooooooooo
Side note: embiid sells his pump fakes very well
Horrible call and horrible flop by Embiid. League can’t be giving FTs for this stuff.
Williams way late on that rotation. Embiid beats him off the dribble and Williams tries to reposition in front but fouls.
Of all Embiid foul baiting, this isn’t the worst. I think it makes Williams look bad too.
Saw that live lmao
BDL
Sometimes you just have to play matador defense against a merchant
Did he trip on his foot. Otherwise Joel deserves a tech. Too big and skilled for that.
Ball don’t lie
indeed
Embiid is so big he just falls into people like he’s in a most pit or something.
Charlotte announcers are some of the worst in the league.
I think you have a typo. “Worst” should day “best”…. By far.
Lmao good one
He physically is scared to drive on his knees. Once he gets going his brain automatically malfunctions to bracing to hit the ground so he looks for the foul call so he don’t gotta finish the drive.
This is terribly embarrassing holy shit
You guys are about to be 19-56 and calling this embarrassing
Yes dumbass. That makes me an expert. And in my expert opinion, a 7 foot monster throwing himself at the floor to get free throws is an incredibly embarrassing excuse for a professional basketball game for players getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars to play. Nice try defending this type of gameplay. Must have skipped that part of the process huh?
Motherfucker has beam withdrawals. Go play in traffic for all I care dipshit
Ooh a beam joke from a team that hasn’t made the conference finals since 2001. Not many other franchises got that over the Kings.
Casual mature response btw from someone that would rather watch people throw themselves on the floor than watch basketball.
lol who’s worse him or FTA
Couple polls I’ve seen going around basically asking”why is the NBA getting such low ratings?”. We could talk about many issues, but this is a HUGE one. The foul baiting has to be squashed. And quickly. When a player is quite obviously not attempting a shot, but attempting to get a whistle it needs to be pointed out and punished. Hard to blame the players for taking advantage of a loophole in the rules, but really hard to support a guy who makes his living that way.
When an offensive player pump fakes, gets his defender to jump, then jumps INTO HIS DEFENDER with zero intent to make a shot that should be an offensive foul. When a dude comes barreling down the lane and plows into a defender leaning away from the basket and towards the defense, that should be called an offensive foul. It would take a lot more legalese to put into practice but here’s the basics of the thing: if you create the contact, it’s a foul on you. Why is that not already the rule??
Forgot how unwatchable Embiid was. I really wish they’d call him for flopping more often, so we can see him actually play basketball.
Yall don’t watch the games anyways
True, I don’t watch the Sixers often.
Then wtf are you on
it only took 10 minutes of this game to remember what the “Embiid” style looks like
Joel Embiid is a fraud and always will be
With an MVP no one on your current team will ever have!
MVPity
Embiitch
Ur man got the record for fts in a game
Lmao these bozos have no self awareness
