Buddy, lets take last year for example, he averaged 11.8 FTA in the reg season, it went down to 8.8 in the playoffs, and it only gets worse deeper in the playoffs. I know you arnt used to watching deep playoff runs by your teams but the whistles do get tighter and tighter as the rounds progress, the play gets more physical..

Good luck in the playoffs my boy. I'm not even saying Embiid is the only FT Merchant, so is Luka, so is Harden, so is a bunch of other whistle chasers in this league.. Just saying its not a successful recipe deeper in the playoffs.. Bitchen for calls..

(FYI, big difference between un-guardable and bitching for every call after the whistle, sometimes they overlap)


Looool bogus claim... last years playoffs Embiid was shooting 10 FT's per game in the first round. Then he broke his face, and hand, and missed multiple games to start the second round. Obviously he wasn't going to the line much against Miami in the second round because he wasn't shooting much in general, injured as fuck. I take it you didn't watch the playoffs? He was playing at like 40% with a broken hand and orbital bone, just trying to tough it out (but didn't look anything like himself).

Season before that he shot 10.7 FTA per game reg season, and 10.0 per game in the playoffs. No dramatic drop-off.

Season before that he shot 8.7 FTA per game, and in the playoffs shot 14.7 per game. Dramatic INCREASE in attempts in the playoffs.


Soooo, what exactly are you talking about? Last three playoff runs he's averaging 10+ FTA per game. Right on par with his reg season averages. Shit doesn't dry up one bit, that's a bogus claim. Embiid is unstoppable (besides getting injured ofc) and will get fouled in any game.

Huh?? His FT attempts the season before decreased as well in 2020 like you said. He is a FT Merchant that is going to get less calls, specially past the rinky dink 1st round.

2018 1st round of the Playoffs, 11fta, 2nd round of playoffs 5.6 FTA,
2019 1st round of the Playoffs drop off to 8 FTA, 2nd round 7 FTA,

2020 swept in the first fucking round, doesnt even fucking matter LOL

2021 1st round PERCIPITES drop to 6.8 FTA per game compared to 10+ in reg season, & then got booty blasted by ATL, idc what FT merchant shit he did here tbh. still overall drop for the playoffs.
2022 we already talked about, another drop in FTA.

Dont

depend

on

the

whisle.


Tobias Harris feena be your most important player, if he plays like he played against us ya'll might have a shot!

Last 3 seasons regular season: 10.5 FTA per game

Last 3 seasons playoffs: 10.1 FTA per game


Enough said. Shit doesn't dry up lol.

Also, the pace slows down in the playoffs. Fewer possessions, so naturally fewer shot attempts (fewer foul opportunities). Embiid averages 9.5 FTA per game in the playoffs FOR HIS CAREER. Guess what his regular season career average is? 10.0. What are we even talking about here????

Embiid is 3rd in the NBA in FGM per game at 11.0 just a hair behind LeBron and Giannis (11.2 each). Talking like Embiid relies on FT's is comical. 😆

Which it should be a big concern for you because in the playoffs those whistles start to dry up bud.. Just look like a lot of whining..

The best offenses in the NBA does not necessary coincide with the highest FT shooters in the NBA, remember that.. Its better to have a good offense that DOESNT depend on the whistle when it comes to playoff time my boy..
