Flopping is a very frustrating part of sports, and the NBA is no different.
Whether you’re a fan, player or coach, no one wants to see float.
Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens had apparently seen enough in Wednesday night’s Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Celtics forward Grant Williams greeted Sixers center Joel Embiid late in the first quarter, and Stevens was unhappy with the call. ESPN captured Stevens’ reaction, and it was pretty hilarious.
Watch it in the video below:
It did not appear that Williams made much contact with Embiid, but the C’s forward is a rookie and the Sixers center is an All-Star, so we really should not be surprised that the call went in Philly’s favor.
Besides all the flooding of Embiid, the Celtics did not have much to complain about in Game 2 of their first round series. Boston fell behind early with double figures, but outscored Philadelphia 101-68 over the final three-quarters. Jayson Tatum also scored a playoff career high of 33 points and set a new record for most 3-point shots made in a playoff game by a player 22 years or younger.
The Celtics will take a commanding 3-0 series if they win again on Friday night.
