    So I wanted to talk about both of these things, or Rather ask about them. Did anybody watch the Rockets and wizards, cause I didn’t and I wanna know WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, I check the box scores, and its bloody 159-158 regulation, please somebody tell me what happened in this game cause i cna’t even comprehend that. Also Rui seems to be doing well glad to see that.

     

    Now for Towns – Embiid did anyone see their fight? I know there is no love lost between these two. But I didn’t expect them to actually brawl. Towns looked super pissed too, Idk what Embiid did to piss him off that badly but he was heated. Also I don’t think Embiid did himself any favors with how he played up the fight after it was over, and as he was ejected. Tho I gotta admit I found it pretty funny.

     

    Anyway today’s been an eventful day for basketball, too bad Kawhi isn’t playing.

     Embiid is the certified troll master. Towns was getting dealt with and was down 20.

     I read the headlines and got so excited  ——–

     

    Joel Embiid was ejected on Wednesday after getting into a fight with Karl-Anthony Towns.

     

    Some elbowing for a rebound quickly escalated to shoving and then a few punches were thrown, before the All-Star centers tumbled to the floor and were engulfed by teammates, coaches and refs. Embiid was shadow boxing on the sidelines afterward, which can’t help his case with the league, and it remains to be seen if the league passes down more punishment for the instigators of the fight.  ————-

     

    The reality is half a weak swing and a bit of a "love hug" or a bit of a wrestle and that was it.

    NO FIGHT – the man to the left in my profile pic would actually just laugh at this so called fight !!

    Meh harden traveling all over the court. If Washington is as bad as their said to be it’s hard to comprehend . However the Washington nationals did win the world series today, uncanny. I love embiid as long as h isn’t picking on my manJarrett Allen.

     I watched the 4th qaurter of the Wizards Rockets game when I saw the ridiculous score. Yeah Harden mustve travelled 4 times in that qaurter. Hachimora’s defense was solid but Harden would just shoot over top of him. Wizards couldnt double because Harden was starting from the middle of the court and everyone was hot in this game. The Washington crowd was rallied by the Nationals homerun and that was pretty cool.

    I watched the highlights of Kat vs. Embiid. Embiid had probably been talking shit all game. This season he’s been in full shit talking form. On the missed shot both players were whining for a foul, Kat hooked Embiid’s arm, Embiid didnt like that and started pushing Towns, Towns swung once and started a wrestling match.

    I personally thought by now Embiid would have matured and realised that playing with this kind of edge wont work in the playoffs. Because just like last season he’s gonna run into an experienced team that does not play that shit and will take his edge away.

      After watching Mike Scott get ejected over BS the other day, the 76ers wanted to play as physical as possible to show the Refs/Rest of the NBA that this is what they should expect every game…And to the comment about facing a more experienced Team, WHO? The Raps? They can’t bang with Embiid and the Rest of the Goons, this is Show Time Lakers meets Bad Boys Pistons…I Love It

         Well the Marc Gasol matchup will still give Embiid fits. But yes I agree we cant match Ben Simmons physicality. Couldnt last year either even with Kawhi.

        The thing is he’s not gonna faze Gasol. His antics ont bother him and cause Gasol to push and throw punches with him and his moves wont work against him. So now his edge is gone. How will he perform when that happens because last year it didnt work out to well for him. Thats the next step for Embiid is learning to perform at his highest level without that having edge.

          Gasol is a shadow of his former self. I like Embiid’s chances against him this year.

            I feel the same way about Gasol, at times I watch him play and he is very frustrating. But he did an amazing job on Vucevic and Embiid last year. He completely took Vucevic out of the game on Tuesday as well so it seems like hes still got it. What has Embiid added to his game to overcome this?

              Well supposedly his conditioning is better. I lot of his issues against Gasol in the playoffs just came down to him being gassed at the end of the season.

                 Thats interesting. If thats true Philly maybe the favorites to win it all this year. Thats the one thing that really stood out watching Jokic last year in the playoffs, he could play 40 minutes a night and still be good late in the 4th qaurter.

    Both Embiid and KAT suspended two games. The Portland game will be hard without Embiid but they should be able to handle the Suns without him.

     I’m not sure the suns are such a push-over, they’re looking really good this year, and for me Kelly Oubre is an early canidate for most improved.

      True but they’ll be without Ayton so I like the Sixers chances.
