He said free throws "dry up" for Embiid in the playoffs. They're almost identical to his regular season opportunities 😂

Also, playoffs are slower pace. Slower pace, fewer possessions, and he takes fewer shot attempts naturally as a result in the postseason.

Saying Embiid doesn't get free throws in the playoffs is a pretty wild claim considering he AVERAGES almost 10 per game throughout his playoff career lol. Thats insane production. Nothing changes in the playoffs, Embiid still draws fouls and gets to the line, he's just as unguardable in the playoffs as he is in the reg season.

Doesn't surprise me that fans of the Warriors and Celtics, two finesse jump shooting teams who live and die by the three and are terrible at drawing fouls, are arguing against free throws

Hardens definitely goes down

There’s nothing wrong with going to the FT line. It obviously helps. But you just don’t want to become reliant on it to win games. I think that’s the point everyone is making. You need to have more strings to your now than that.

Sixers are only 6th in the league in FTA per game

Embiid is second in the NBA in field goals made per game. Not free throws, im talking buckets per game.

Who's relying only on free throws? They come naturally when nobody can guard you
