Different rules. Different people. That's how the world works. I don't like it either, but there are alot of examples of why it is the way it is. In some cases it's good, in some cases it's bad.

Yeah I know I just hate seeing a scrub ass role player running his mouth. Never heard of this guy before this series but he fucking talks shit and gets loud after routine plays.

The ticky tack calls and the lack of defense is one reason. The three point chucking is another. 4 games today and almost 300 three pointers attempted. Free throw attempts can be pretty absurd as well. The Lakers had 43 free throw attempts tonight.

Yeah, I think that's a big part. Another is while there are a lot of talented players there aren't really any charismatic personalities to pull you in. Before you had guys like
Magic
Michael
Charles
Shaq
Reggie Miller
Rodman
Kobe

I’m no fan of Harrell but he’s been in discussion for the 6th man of the year award all season. He’s quite good.

Embiid is not the most efficient player if you ask me. Hes like a gaudy nice watch that just isn't very useful. Siakam is the fastest improving player two years running. I'm sure you watch way more Raptors bball than I do so could you expand on why?

Embiid is a vastly more impactful player overall than Siakam due largely to his defense (where he’s likely top 3 in the game). He’s also far more skilled offensively than Siakam (neither one is particularly efficient due to the load they’ve been asked to carry by their mediocre offensive teams).
Siakam is getting better all the time but I can’t see him ever being a player on Embiid’s level.

Honestly, they really need Simmons back from injury. He makes their transition game go. He's also one of the top defenders in the league and can defend every position.
Not sure why we'd pretend they're the same team without him.
