[Highlight] Joel Embiid post up Jaylen Brown, who trash talk him during it, and Embiid scores the hook shot over him to beat the shot clock, and he got some words back (with a replay)
Ref please don’t give techs this is what we want to see
Honestly yes this is. Neither guy is gonna escalate and risk their spot in the game, let them jaw, no harm done.
They looked fired up but heck it’s game 7, something’s wrong if they’re not fired up for a game 7
The shit talk makes for such great edits
They stopped the game for so long trying to stop them
Just let people trash talk lmao neither is doing anything wrong
It makes sense when you don’t want it escalating. There should be some room for allowance when top guys are going at it though. They’re obviously keeping themselves in check.
If it escalates you tech them both or throw them out, so far not escalation so let people talk to each other
They were both being very cordial the ref didn’t need to do anything
i blame silver honestly.
Stern allowed the guys to be guys.
Love to see it.
“Im not guarding you” is hilarious
I’m pretty sure Joel then got in ‘ I don’t need to’
Celtics are like -32 w JB on the court, Id be doing the same thing if I were Joel egging him onto “bring it on yeah make yourself think you can go shot for shot w me”
People shit on Embiid, but dude, when healthy, really is one of the most skilled big men in history, and he could back it up.
JB isn’t in the same tier.
Don’t come at me Boston fans. I’m down bad as a Magic fan.
Boston fans arent in this thread man, to angry
they are currently screaming and howling in their sleep. Dreaming nightmares of embiid on the block
Yea he is. I hate how much people omit his postseason injury history when discussing his playoff record. 2020 is literally the only postseason he wasn’t injured and they weren’t even contending that year.
2018 (first playoff run) Injury: Orbital fracture + concussion Impact: Missed first 2 playoff games, played in a mask after
2019 Injury: Left knee tendinitis + Gastroenteritis Impact: Missed game 1 Raptors series, clearly limited
2021 Injury: Torn meniscus (right knee) Impact: Missed 1 game, played through it hobbled rest of playoffs
2022 Injury: Torn thumb ligament(shooting hand)+ Orbital fracture/concussion Impact: Missed first 2 games vs Heat, played masked and limited after
2023 (MVP year) Injury: LCL (Right Knee) Impact: Missed 2 games across Nets/Celtics series, clearly slowed
2024 Injury: Recovering from meniscus surgery(left knee)+ Bell’s palsy Impact: Played, but severely impacted (couldn’t even blink)
2026 Injury: Appendicitis leading into playoffs Impact: Missed first 3 games
Obviously the knees are an issue, but the absolutely off-the-wall ailments he’s had to deal with come April are remarkable.
JAYLEN BROWN SHAVE YOUR HEAD AND SHUT THE FUCK UP
Period
This is NBA
I feel like the approval rating among NBA fans for Brown and Embiid has really flipped in the last few months
Don’t recall the last time I saw r/nba stand behind Embiid through any series this much. I feel like that’s how I know we’ve been ass for a little bit now lmao
feel like im in a different sub with how rudy, PG, and embiid have been talked about lmao
Even the most ardent hater eventually has to admit that not only is he the unluckiest superstar in the NBA when it comes to postseason injuries but that he is also just a straight up warrior for playing through some of the injuries he’s had. 2020 is literally the only postseason he wasn’t injured and they weren’t even contending that year. Also so many of the injuries are just so random that you can’t help but feel sorry for the dude, whether it’s 2 broken faces, Gastroenteritis, appendectomies and even Bells Palsy where he literally couldn’t even blink so needed eyedrops every timeout. When you look over them all as a whole it’s beyond laughable how cursed he is.
Has brown ever been liked? He’s pretty unlikable off the court and flawed on the court
I haven’t liked him since he was on Hot Ones and never took off those tiny ass sunglasses.
Boston fans would scream at the top of their lungs that everyone should ignore every stat that wasn’t just PPG for Brown and convinced a lot of people to do that so he could get his MVP vote push this season.
Thinking Brown has an actual MVP case gotta take some crazy mental gymnastics in a league with SGA, Jokic, Wemby, Luka all playing a tier minimum above him.
TALK YOUR TRASH JOEL
Let’s fucking go
“At least I still have a full head of hair.” - Embiid
How the fuck is that not a foul
He’s reaching harder than me in 2k
Do you guys want fouls on every single play or something.
Yes, we want the game consistently called
Maybe the players will stop fouling as much when they actually get whistled for it
Because the contact was with the ball?
Just put the Celtics flair on douchebag
https://i.imgur.com/igllyIU.jpeg
Yeah clearly all ball
The contact was with Embiid’s arms lmao
[removed]
blind and racist. Classic Celtics fan
everybody liked that
Jaylen’s last stand before he gets shipped out to Milwaukee throwing up as many shots to his heart’s content
[deleted]
I don’t get it man. I fuckin love JB since the beginning, let alone what he did to get this team where it’s at while JT was sidelined. This isn’t Tatum’s team. It’s the Jay’s team. Both of them
Cause he’s an inefficient balding chucker
Refs got caught up in the shit talk, just straight up ignored him slapping his wrist 4 times
???
Most of those swipes looked clean tbh. I was sitting here shocked at how NBA players have such good aim on the ball swiping full force
JB getting dadded on both ends. Embiid looking really gassed now though. Next time he goes to the bench Boston will just vaporize the lead again and he’ll have to start over.
I dunno, he’s resting and the lead looks pretty good right now lol
What the fuck are you doing bro
Gotta love the animosity between Boston and Philly. Is it one of the GOAT city rivalries?
The funniest part of it is that this was the first series win for Philly since 1982 so who even knows why it’s such a rivalry lol
We’ve played each other in the playoffs more than any other two teams in NBA history, that’s why lol. But it was mostly a one way rivalry for decades until this game 7 win.
Lmao JB got bitched
Why are people acting like jaylen brown has any chance guarding embiid in the first place?
Exactly right. Embiid is a nightmare match-up for almost every big man in the league. Brown obviously doesn’t stand a chance lol
Funny thing is that was some of the best defence Embiid saw all night. Mazzulla just didn’t have any options for him. It’s a roster problem more than a coaching of effort thing. And to be fair not many teams have any way to stop Embiid when he’s actually healthy.
Lol, what happened to the Jaylen Brown early in the series in the season that was bitching about not winning eastern player of the month 🤣
Jaylen Clown
Love the trash talk honestly
I love basketball
That was so badass
Lmao him going quiet after makes it even better
“You come at the king, you best not miss”
Embiid cucked him so hard
I love this
Talk your shit Embiid
I’m glad to see embiid back and looking scary and also love to see brown get shit thrown at him
COMPUTAH give Joel Embiid BOWLING BAWLS for ankles.
Mvp Jaylen Brown
Talk it big king talk it
Love the negativity in the playoffs so far
People talk shit but I love this man. The universe just hates his body. (We ain’t gonna talk about his diet that probably has led to his problems)
Lol so the repeated wrist slaps are legal? Refs tried their best for the Celtics. 😂
The anti-Jaden McDaniels
glad this keeps happening to him shit player
I honestly can’t stand Reggie Miller and his need to repeat every goddamn thing he says twice
Everyone remembering 1st round Embiid is a problem, 2nd round Embiid is a solid player, 3rd round Embiid is processing…
Uhm. Travel?
He traveled like four times lmao
Embiid is like “bro remember when I stepped on Grant Williams’ head right next to you, watch it”
Why would you try and celebrate that moment wtf
I’m not, it was scary as shit, it’s just a funny picture lol
Actually one of the scariest things I’ve ever watched in a sports game I can’t believe he was okay
God I hate embiid. Nothing to do with this play. I just don’t like him
I hate him but I hate him less than Jaylen Brown
I don’t like him either, but I do love the trash talk. This is how basketball used to be.
