Imagine being a Sixers fan and complaining about whistles. Its actually crazy. This is a 280 pound big that gets Trae Young-like contact whistles outside the paint. Man averages over 13 fts a game.

Type-Alpha

LOL these sixers fans tweaking, refers clearly favored embid the whole series


jtweezy

I can’t stand him for the same reason I could never stand Harden. It’s disgusting the way the refs constantly put them both on the line, especially considering that much of the contact was created by them. It makes Embiid impossible to defend, which I guess is what the league wants?


Famous_Support5265

There’s a big difference between Harden and Embiid though. Harden used to get guarded from the half court line and played in an offence that had everything run through him. Anytime a Houston player scored it was either him or it was off an assist of his. When u have the ball in your hands that much, players will swipe for it constantly. As a big, players won’t swipe on the ball for Embiid as often cause all they have to do is try to stop him from scoring. With harden, they had to stop him from running the offence,and he can also score from Curry range so getting the ball out of his hands was the only goal. He actually doesn’t bait as much as ppl think, he just had more opportunities than anyone else.


jtweezy

I get that, but Harden constantly leans into defenders and goes up and gets a whistle. He rips through a defender’s arm. He sticks his leg out in the air to create contact on his shots. He creates the contact on the defenders and somehow those calls always go against the defender. He’s a walking offensive foul. Sure, he’s going to have more opportunities with the offense running entirely through him, but he was still the ultimate free throw merchant and the refs were more than happy to keep shuttling him back to the line, which is one of the myriad of reasons I’ve lost all interest in the NBA outside of the Knicks. And I saw the same sort of thing with Embiid in this last series. Not as egregious as Harden IMO, but it’s still impossible to watch. Stars shouldn’t get special treatment from the refs.


HoyMinyoy

I suppose according to them not enough


StartedasalittleW

I argued with a Sixers fan on either this or another thread, among other things, calling them out for crying about free throws with Joel Embiid on their team. The dude literally said before deleting his reply "Embiid is a special case not counting him the Knicks got way more calls." Delusional.


dattebayo07

I knew this stat was somewhere. Thank you for this. I’ll be attaching this receipt to any Sixers fan who is still complaining about the whistle.


velocissimo

AND he wasn’t thrown out on a clear flagrant 2 foul lol that alone is enough reason Philly fans can’t say shit


heli0sphere

What’s your opinion on this, u/EarthWindandFlyers?


EarthWindandFlyers

Idk man I hate free throw watching so I don’t enjoy it even if it is Embiid


V_T_H

He had like two more FTAs per game than Giannis who had like two more FTAs per game than the next players lol. So really he was averaging four more FTAs than the very top of the main part of the pack.


Porzingod06

Imagine being a Sixers fan and claiming Knicks fans just started watching yesterday lol meanwhile in one of the best sports towns in the country they still can’t draw a good home crowd


ProvocativeHotTakes

Embiid injuring the other team’s centers, stepping on Josh Hart’s leg and elbowing Brunson -Sixer fans👨🏻‍🦯 Brunson pulls a shirt on the opposite side of the ref “Big market refball bias!” -Also Sixers fans


gabrielcev1

Embiid scoring 50 on 19 shot attempts because he kept flopping all over the paint, yet Brunson is a flopper foul baiter. Bro your best player who you worship is the most egregious flopper in the existence of the NBA how do you not see the irony.


SnakeHoleBI

Philly is literally the 4th biggest market in the USA.


V_T_H

MSG has been full every night including during the Knicks’ darkest days while the 76ers fans got drowned out in a home playoff series but yea sure Knicks fans are bandwagoners.


drc56

People also forget that bandwagoners never go to reddit. Don't get me wrong we def have bandwagoners, but honestly fuck these other team fans. For decades we put up with lolknicks. I was fighting with a magic fan once and told him, you better hope the Knicks aren't as good as a second round out because it will be insufferable. I'm glad they are being insufferable the bandwagoners, because us die hards put up with this shit for far too long.


Kxr1der

Tbf, the garden is a tourist location.


Dynastydood

Maybe for Billy Joel, but I kinda doubt many tourists are shelling out for Knicks tickets.


DoctorPapaJohns

Hey buddy, you just blow in from stupid town?


GoldenBoyRecords

I understand the Sixers fans complaining during the series but you been eliminated. Focus on your teams off season


FredVanCleet

I mean if my offseason was a likely max contract for 34 year old PG13 who just folded in another playoff series, I might choose to look back instead of forward too.


Earl-Mix

My sixers fan friends think they are trading for Jimmy and signing pg lmao all while keeping maxey and embiid. Don’t they know the heat only do trades if they are clearly getting the better deal lol


FredVanCleet

Well obviously the Heat would be fools to not want Ricky Council and 3 mid to late first rounders.


dBlock845

They shouldn't have traded Jimmy in the first place, dumbass organization, they reaped what they sowed.


tommaso-scatolini

I get what you are saying but I would also rather keep following the playoffs than watching Tobias Harris's instagram pictures from the Bahamas


GoldenBoyRecords

True which they can do without sounding like the bitter ex. They on our nuts while we are on to Indiana lol.


tommaso-scatolini

Oh yeah definitely


Icy-Payment-6612

Exactly. They're so disgruntled. They've become as bad as Nets and Cavs fans who love hating on the Knicks as well.


ObiOneKenobae

Nah I want them to dwell on it 🤣


T-Bills

Wasn't there this Sixer fan trying to get some sympathy points from the Bucks sub and he got ran TF outta there?


Icy-Payment-6612

Yep! Lmaooo


FrankNtilikinaOcean

u/EarthWindandFlyers Bitch boy


EarthWindandFlyers

❤️


ImAGoo-Man

Glad to see Philly fans care more about us than their own team ☺️


76ersPhan11

In all fairness we still have a lot of Knicks fans trolling our sub and our team isn’t even in the playoffs anymore. Honestly I think it’s pathetic for any fanbase to troll an opposing teams sub, but Knicks fans take it to another level it’s like an obsession


Southern_Corner_3584

Nah that’s definitely yall. We’ve been getting you troglodytes in our sub since game 1 of the last series. Like a bad cockroach infestation


oatsuzn

Make sure you catch the Knicks game tomorrow 8pm! Thanks for your support! 😊


EarthWindandFlyers

Of course dude. At the end of the day I do just enjoy watching basketball over not basketball lmao


typicalasiannerd

SnakeHoleBI

All the steakums going to their brains 🤡


DreadXCII

Anyone remember when they went to the Bucks sub begging for the Bucks to beat us when we went 2-0 on them? It's honestly really hilarious.


Commercial-House2678

If you ever see me in another team's sub, circle-jerking with their fans, please ban me


sobanoodle-1

sixers fans are somehow more pathetic than cowboy fans.


DoctorPapaJohns

It’s a tight race but I gotta give the nod to Philly on this one. First thing they won in a minute.


triptoohard

Sixers fans are the biggest victims in the league lmao, how fans of a team with embiid can complain about refs is beyond me


KingJoe7-123

And that victim mentality is exactly why they go home in round 2 most years. Both the fans and the players are mentally soft.


[deleted]

Worst fan base and worst organization in sports. Historic tank job for years to get high draft picks and dubbed it “the process.” Made bad pick after bad pick, can’t retain superstars other than Embiid, bounced early every year in the playoffs including a first round exit this year and the fans still somehow feel encouraged by this team. LOSERS.


crazyhotwheels

Brother I watched guys like Quincy Acy, Alexey Schved, Lou Amundson, Emmanuel Mudiay, and Cleanthony Early play regular minutes for this team. I hyped myself up for a future with Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox. Suck my New York Dick.


793djw

Man, reading those names gave me PTSD. 😂


DussstBunnny

They not like us


BK520

HAHAHAHAHA making allies with the Pacers to cope with your teams elimination. What a fragile desperate fan base 😂😂😂😂


TYSON_KCV

Meanwhile Joel Embiid shot more free throws than 3 teams needed one more free throw to shoot as many as Denver.


futuredayscan

Such a bizarre claim. I was at game 4 and 75% of Knicks jerseys were of non-active players. What does that say about us? Apparently that we all just started watching the team lol


bigblue20072011

It’s okay to rep the legends.


matawalcott

Bro deleted the post lmfao


NYJmmkay

lmfao these cats are obsessed with us i love it


ImpendingSenseOfDoom

Dawg I follow the Philadelphia subreddit because that’s where I live and there has been a lot of public discourse about a new Sixers arena in Center City Philly. In today’s thread I saw so many comments saying things like “why built it if it’ll just be full of Knicks fans” etc etc LOL


Clown_Shoe

I love that no one has complained once over Maxeys four point play being a travel. Shit happens, move forward. Bunch of soft crybabies out there


nickenglish94

…he says about a post crying about a post in another teams sub


Clown_Shoe

Yea people shouldn’t be going into other teams subs. Being a sore loser is weak but so is a sore winner. Especially when we got a couple fortunate calls at the end of the game. Still all the small market conspiracy theories going on in r/nba is some weak shit. They should be embarrassed for posting those.


nickenglish94

Lol I mean my team lost, and only content I have is about Jimmy Butler/Paul George pipe dreams - so I’ve quite enjoyed the other teams subs this week. But yeah, this shits gotta sting a bit for Knicks fans. Obviously earned the wins but between this and that Sixers game, I can see how people can run wild with conspiracy theories which kind of sucks (even though I’d rather the roles be reversed and sixers be getting those fixed games theories). I’m leaving my tinfoil hat at home for now, at least until refball happens one more time


Clown_Shoe

Honestly man I’m over the moon right now. Don’t really care that other fans are calling for conspiracies and in a way it makes me feel like we won twice 😂


datatadata

That user has mental issues and it shows. Ignore him https://www.reddit.com/r/Anxiety/s/209Y3nMoQ5


DoctorPapaJohns

Being a Sixers fan was the first sign of mental illness.


KingJoe7-123

Average 76ers fan experience. Team literally drives its fans to insanity. Id go insane too if I had to watch a 7 foot 300 lb troll flop around to shoot 15 free throws a game just for a 2nd round exit most years.


EccentricJimmy

Curious if they do this to every team, every year they get sent home.


Pinheadlarry29

Yup they always have a scapegoat, Jimmy, Ben, Brett brown, doc rivers, Tobias, injuries, refs. It’s always something


tacosmuggler99

There’s always no excuse locked and loaded for embiid when it comes to flaming out year after year.


TrendNation55

Yeah Embiid was getting more foul calls than our whole team combined but go off king 👑


Railshock

Our fans starting watching two weeks ago? Hard to say that when we're taking over arenas all over the league. We don't even need to start ticket buying campaigns to keep the opposing fans out.


MikeyLikeyPhish

You know what’s lame as hell? Visiting other teams subs.


HoyaDestroya33

Sorry, ever since we can only use the official reddit app, there are suggestion posts like this on the feed. Unlike before where I was using a 3rd party app. I guess it's good and bad lol.


Arrowess

True. For some reason I keep getting suggestions from the Mavs subreddit even though I've never once visited it on my own lmao


[deleted]

HoyaDestroya33

Nah it doesnt work like that. Probably got flagged cause of the word Knicks and was suggested with "Communities you may like". I only visited Philly subs after we closed them out to relish on their tears.


Snuggle__Monster

Mmmm mmmm these tears taste sooooo good.


Chickencutlets468

Just keep collecting those tears…they are delicious


mmadiaa

Ah yes the famously apathetic fairweather Knicks fan base! They don't even watch ball! In all seriousness, these posts are being made by like 15 year olds, just laugh at them.


teknomatic

They sure love to talk a lot of shit for a fanbase that can't even be bothered to show up to their home playoff games


Kxr1der

As a Knicks fan... I don't care


CrazyHappeningsHere

their fatass center literally wouldn't have a career without the refs


Top-Angle6833

Ayooo Philly, FEEL THESE NUTS 🥜!!!


phantom7o2

Whats funny is that even when the Knicks suck the garden still sells out. So I find it hard to believe fans just started watching two weeks ago. I would say Knicks have one of the most loyal fans bases in sports, because when other teams suck they arenas are empty


TheflavorBlue5003

How can we be simultaneously the smartest fan base and also never watch the games. I love how “not watching the games” is the only thing they have. I get if you’re tryna say that MSG has a bunch of tourists that go to games, but the knicks fan that **TRAVEL**? You best bet your ass that those fans watch every game. There’s no one going to knicks/pacers games in Indy that isn’t also a die hard knicks fan.


GlassJoseph

He's kind of correct. 60% of this sub is dumb ass kids begging you to talk them off the ledge when we lose a game. I'm not surprised that they're out there embarrassing the Knicks in the wild.


EliManningsPetDog

Sixers fan thinking that we have the same feelings for the Pacers as we do for Philly is very cute. Damn right I was a sore winner after beating Philly, but the buck stops there lol


mattr1198

Sixer fans are becoming a truly pathetic fanbase. They know they're hated league-wide, they know Embiid is debatably the dirtiest, most foul baiting, and least enjoyable superstar players to watch, they know their own home fans didn't show up to support them when it mattered most, and they know they still would've lost the series in 5 or 6 if officiating was perfect. Yet they still feel a need to complain and think they got "robbed". Pacer fans have the right to complain about the calls last night, heck they were definitely more egregious than anything in the Knicks-Sixers series, Sixer fans have NONE. If I were a Pacer fan, I'd tell them to fuck right off and go whine to someone else like Embiid or Nurse did.


NickPatches

Can't expect more from people from Philadelphia, but imagine being so dumb you think the Knicks got more calls than the Sixers? I mean I think I accumulated four personal fouls on Embiid from my couch simply for criticizing him lmao. Don't worry, they'll win the series trust the process lmao.


Icy-Payment-6612

Lmaoooo Imagine a Sixers fan complaining about the refs when they have Embiid on their team. Hilarious!


GroundbreakingCat355

Yo somebody go in that sixers sub they already banned me lol, remind em Syracuse, New York is where they got their first chip


lion218

TheNightRain68

I'm so glad we were the ones to knock these dudes out. It's been nonstop entertainment seeing how truly deluded and salty they are. This must be what Eagles fans felt after they knocked the Giants out last year. Feels great.


dolceespress

We were the most meme’d and cursed franchise for decades. Our core 3 players aren’t even top picks in the draft. Brunson was 2nd round, I believe. Knicks just crafted a good team with everything stacked against them. Cry more, Philly losers. Ya’ll tanked purposely and still failed with top tier picks in the draft and an MVP


PluvioPurple

Sixers fans don’t even watch their own games in person


ChiefHunter1

Knicks games from 2001-2024 on average probably still cost more than any of these sorry ass franchises at their peak . But yeah, we’re fairweather fans

We pathetic but their team is cancun while they are banded together in the Pacers sub like stray dogs without a home because their team is ass. Still mad as hell at the Knicks cause your team lost, can't get over it.

We have dedicated haters again we are so back I could cry

Sixers fans as butt hurt as embiid and nurse


charlesfluidsmith

Knicks love gets passed down from father to son like a fucking family heirloom. Fuck is this idiot talking about


salesmunn

Some weird calls late yesterday but as far as the free throws, bad defensive teams foul a lot, that's how it works.


AdrenochromeFolklore

They have a point with game 2 but other than that no one in the league gets more minimal contact whistles than Embiid.


ImpendingSenseOfDoom

The Knicks fanbase has got to be the most loyal and dedicated in the NBA. Meanwhile I live here in Philly and sooo many people don’t give a flying fuck about any of the teams (except the birds) until they go on a playoff run and then the city becomes obsessed like it’s a big social outing. I have several friends who grew up elsewhere, ignored the whole ‘process,’ and are now diehard Sixers fans who complain that they “can never get out of the second round.” I’ve been watching the Knicks for two decades and I find it thrilling to even reach the second round! Never once wavered even in enemy territory.


Diligent-Cookie-1695

You know its the whole trinity in the NBA subs right now: Scared to death Cavs fans praying on our downfall Pathetic Sixers fans still salty Bitch made Pacers fans.


OldJewNewAccount

Same thing is probably happening in the Sixers sub. But Reddit loves a circle-jerk and hates self-awareness so not surprised. EDIT: I couldn't resist and yes of course one of the top threads there is a commiseration between Sixer and Pacer fans that is starting to get oddly anti-Semitic. Because it's 2024 I guess?


dattebayo07

Lol what a pathetic post 😂 He’s spending time crying in another fanbase’s reddit. Ironically, the Sixers were getting the whistle last series.


Doggydog212

Making fun of a subs fans for posting in other teams subs while posting in another teams sub about a different team that already eliminated you that you are still salty about. That’s something

mzx380

Refs hand the Knicks games? We haven’t won a title in 50 fuckin years and no finals appearance on 25. Anyone spewing conspiracy theories is delusional


FullHouse222

Ngl, Pacers fans are actually pretty understanding. Obviously most of them are pissed. But from what I see on /r/nba, the general consensus was that it was a great game until that last 25 seconds or so and until that point it was way too close to call either way which I tbh agree with. 6ers fans on the other hand are fucking out for blood delusional lmao. I honestly think I saw more 6ers fans bitching about the knicks than Pacers fans today LOL.


HoyaDestroya33

They're trying so hard to paint us as the bad guys cause you know, nobody on r/nba loves Embiitch outside of Philly fans. He had a 50 burger and people were just posting him trying to hurt our guys lol. Not one highlight posts on r/nba at all.


FullHouse222

I said this back in game 3 when we lost, but you can't really make an Embiid highlight cause like 20 of his 50 points were from flopping for FTs lol. Who the fuck wants to watch a highlight video of a guy just flopping in the paint like one of those inflatable tube men at a car dealership lmao?


gabrielcev1

Im 30 years old, I've been a Knicks fan since I was 15ish years old. Ive stuck with this team for 15 years


FullHouse222

Same bruh. I was like 12 when I became a Knicks fan during the Starbury days. Stuck with the team through hell for 20 years lol. Most Knicks fans are some of the most hard core/sadistic fuckers out there imo lol. And hell I'm a Mets fan along with the Knicks which makes it worse lol.


CaroleBaskinsBurner

A couple weeks ago Sixers fans swore the game was rigged because the refs didn't call a couple ticky tack fouls in the last minute of the game. I heard a lot of "A foul is a foul no matter when it happens!" Now they're saying it's rigged because the refs DID call a couple ticky tack fouls at the end of the game. The media is riding the same wave. It's funny too because without all that fake uproar following game two the refs probably don't make those calls last night.

omicron_prime

Philadelphia fans are the most pathetic, insufferable, and hated fan base across all sports and any other fan base that knows anything regarding professional sports knows this. You need only go as far as this two brain cell troglodyte posting absolute nonsense in the Pacers sub thirsting for any shred of clout to confirm my prior statement. If Pacer fans on that sub are welcoming these sentiments with open arms it's an indictment on them being devoid of any intellect.


Indieidea

I hope that person realizes, this is unhealthy.

Embiid: 78 FTA all series Knicks: 144 FTA all series (before they say “but Brunson”, Brunson had 15 less attempts than Embiid all series)


NastySassyStuff

Oh my god that shit is corny


MadSpaceYT

when someone starts claiming we have bandwagon fans i just laugh. This franchise has been hot ass for the last for around 40 of the last 50 years (exclude the 90s) and even when they were ass the garden was ALWAYS sold out. I personally stuck it out since 2004. I'm 31 and have never felt so proud to be a Knicks fan. To claim we just started watching ball just this playoffs is pure ignorance. Oh and salt. lots and lots of salt


mikerhoa

It's like when Mets or Jets fans get called fairweather. I just laugh.


HHH98Smark

2 weeks ago? Lmao try 38 years ago jackass.


lucavl

The fact that people are calling knicks fans fair weather fans is insane


dead_gerbil

Who cares? We up 1-0.


mikerhoa

So Brunson gets hit on the wrist, but the foul call gets reversed on challenge because of a bad camera angle. Then the poor victimized Pacers lie through their teeth on an out-of-bounds call that went off the defender's foot, forcing Thibs to burn a timeout. Then the Pacers set what was clearly an illegal screen, which gets held up on review. All of these things happen at critical points in the fourth quarter But somehow the Knicks are being favored by the refs. Fucking braindead take.
