NBA fans are not holding back after Joel Embiid and the Sixers do what they always do, and choke.
Philly are on the brink of elimination after New York defeated the franchise 97-92 at Wells Fargo Center.
Embiid is once again the target of criticism since he managed to score just a single point in the fourth quarter after he shot 0-5 from the field.
The big man is shooting just 3-18 from the field in fourth quarters these playoffs.
“He was feeling good and wanted to go,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said on Embiid playing the entire second half. “All these games are must win and we didn’t have a good stretch when he was out in the first half.”
Plenty of Knicks fans didn’t like the way Embiid was treating their star player Jalen Brunson.
