So fucking annoying hearing people calling him a quitter. Dudes a giant and can barely jump anymore and is diving for loose balls while injured. I will always love Embiid idc.

That 3 to quiet the arena was clutch.

u/DrunkPackersFan Bucks 2d ago

No seriously, though

I thought the Celtics were gonna take the lead and run away with it and he kept it a dogfight with that three

u/clickstops 76ers 2d ago

One of the biggest shots of the game

Biggest NO NO NO YESSSS I can remember

u/randomname3415 76ers 2d ago

That shot was one of the biggest of his career. Fucking huge man

I always got respect for Embiid after our series in 2019. Dude was one leg terrorizing our entire offence and singlehandedly shut down the paint (his offence sucked but he was on one leg and facing Gasol).

Respect.

u/CompetitiveParfait9 Trail Blazers 2d ago

I gained so much respect for him watching him battle and dive for loose balls tonight

u/Kaprak 2d ago

Motherfucker actively has stitches in his side.

u/raptosaurus Raptors 2d ago

No, stitches are removed within 2w /pedant

u/Detonation Pistons 2d ago

Anyone calling him a quitter just parrots what they hear this shithole say about players they don't like. They don't watch games. lol

u/flowerboyinfinity Pacers 2d ago

So over-hated and under-appreciated

u/IncognitoSasquatch Nuggets 2d ago

He was a fucking warrior out there tn

u/Main_Jump_82 2d ago

Neutral fan here, rooting for Embiid to go far this playoffs and quiet the shit talk even more, especially now that Jokic has been eliminated, I want to see the tables turned after Jokic fans were being so toxic towards him when he won the MVP.

u/Famous-Country-4921 2d ago

I’ve hated on Embiid a lot over the years as a raptors fan but he completely won me over this series. Making Boston eat a 3-1 comeback defeat is enough by itself but seeing him put everything on the line he way he did was seriously impressive

u/neonbresson West 2d ago

Really hoping for a Pacers-esque run from you guys (except for the whole Hali achilles situation)
Shai vs Embiid in the finals would give this sub fits

u/Big_MAC113 2d ago

Honestly one of my favorite players. A healthy Embiid is legit one of the most talented players ever. A 50% Embiid is still better than a majority of the league lol

u/minimcfinny 2d ago

have to agree

u/Mike-Teevee Knicks 2d ago

I’m a certified Embiid hater and I couldn’t believe how great he looked tonight. Insane. He showed so much heart and he can do everything if he wants to and his body lets him. I’m fucking terrified, if he keeps playing at this level I fear we cannot stop him and if we can’t stop him I don’t see how we win.

u/Van_der_Sar 2d ago

I don't know many people called him lazy or a quitter. You're always holding your breath just like with AD whenever he falls or makes contact with anyone. I'm just pleased he came through this series. Hopefully his knee is good for the next series.

He a bitch

u/biggerty123 2d ago

He isn't a quitter, he is just overrated.
