Overview
- Brown, in a Sunday Twitch stream after Boston’s Game 7 loss, repeated that Joel Embiid exaggerates contact to draw fouls and said flopping has hurt the sport.
- He alleged referees targeted him during the series, claiming some officials told him there was an agenda to call offensive fouls when he raised his off arm.
- Statistics back his frustration to a point, as he was whistled for 10 offensive fouls in seven games, far more than any other player this postseason.
- He also said certain officials from the last three games should be investigated, escalating comments he first made in Saturday’s postgame session.
- Embiid’s return in Game 4 swung the series as he averaged 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists with 37 free throws across four games, and while no league action has been announced, outlets note Brown could face a fine based on recent precedent.
