Why are the hawks so Emotional it’s clear that he didn’t do it on purpose
That’s crazy. Hawks players should have got technicals for their behavior.
That’s a ridiculous call.
What precisely is the offensive player supposed to do here???
This is how we’ve taught post players to turn to the basket for the last 40 or 50 years.
Dude at elbow height of Embiid gets in the way of his elbow and leans in as Embiid drives to the basket. Queue nba commentary talking about Embiid like he just Draymond Greened someone. Was it a foul? Yes. But goddamn did they ever overblow it as being more than just a basketball play
Embiid’s fault for not having shorter arms
People want to say our commentators are bad but the Hawks guys are insufferable. One of them sounds like he should be doing baseball broadcasts in the 1950’s.
Sheesh, and people say kate and alaa are homers
If that’s a flagrant foul then just make everyone play basketball with a face shield.
That YT comment section is wild! People wanting someone to “push Embiid while he’s in mid air” or hit him in the knees to end his career. Like tons of ppl saying shit like that. Stay classy ATL
That call sucked big time yo
Weak
Lmao hawks fans have to listen to those bozo broadcasters all year?
I still think it was a blatant flop by Okongwu, he barely gets grazed on the chin and you’d think he got some big hit. He knew what he had to do to get his team an advantage.
I have no problem with the flagrant 1 call because he did make contact with the head (intension isn’t part of the rule), but I think it’s pretty obvious that he didn’t do it on purpose. The Hawks broadcast team was acting like he dick-kicked him.
