The refs should never be the biggest story in the game. Also, Jae is the only reason we are winning.

I don't like the call but I think the NBA has been pretty consistent with any drive with elbow to head contact. I'm actually surprise CP3 didn't get one on his drive against Alvarado at the end of Game 6.
So A defender can just throw his chin in front of an elbow and get the car?

Except on this play where Embiid got injured. It was a foul on Embiid.

Yeah. What's the point of the elbow. It wasn't needed. If he goes up straight, this doesn't happen. No reason for the lean in. Just man up and slam it down.

Stop. It was a perfectly natural basketball move. The defender jumped into while he was already going up

I don't see how you can run directly infront of a running player, get into his chest and it's a foul on the offensive player, what was Ayton supposed to do there?

Ayton needs to put on 20 pounds of muscle.

Seriously? You think you can make that distinction between any of them?? All 3 of them are awful!

Seriously, there is no way professional referees are this bad unless they are deliberately enacting some kind of agenda. But of course, network announcers wouldn't ever call them out in a million years... and players and coaches are specifically forbidden. It's absurd.
