Tell me who the common denomintor is and then tell me who the real problem child is...

NBA Please give this guy the Ron Artest/Dryamond Green treatment and suspend his ass. This has gone much too far. Let's just say Paul George is no longer the NBA player I'd wish injury on...

Suspend him for what exactly?

I can't stand Embiid either. I think he is a fake tough guy but there is nothing to suspend him about

 

[bksballer89]

I absolutely love what Smart and now Bledsoe did to him

Embiid is definitely turning into a guy you really enjoy watching lose.

To answer your question - No it does not come anywhere close to the Artes/Green fight and suspension. Both players, however should have been ejected. Emblid started that - granted that we was frustrated at getting tangled up, he can't be allowed to start shoving people around and retaliating like that

There is a fine line between being tough and being dirty, and Embiid is often on the wrong side of it trying to project the image that he wants. I wish he would cut back on the antics and just play basketball because he is too good to be doing this type of stuff.

That said, @HurricaneDij39 hasn't learned anything. I don't care how much you dislike a player (and you have good reason to dislike Embiid) wishing injury on somebody is just foul.

Also, in this particular case Bledsoe was the instigator and the escalator.

The action on the screen was a basketball play. Embiid pushed a little to seperate from the screen. That could be a common foul but it is one that is rarely called and shouldn't be because it didn't effect the play.

Bledsoe retaliated by pushing Embiid in the back. Embiid tossed the ball lightly at Bledsoe and Bledsoe fired it back.

Embiid is an irritant, but he didn't do a lot wrong here. Could defintely get a T for tossing the ball, but that is the only thing I saw. The rest was Bledsoe.

That reminds me of Kobe Bryant who got into a small skirmish in his early years and got called up by Magic Johnson who was 5% owner at the time and had a position. Magic basically gave Kobe the same lecture that Emblid and Bledsoe need. Magic spoke about not letting players get to you - control your temper and maintain your composure, be professional about it, otherwise they will always be goading you into that kind of trouble.

me too. someone needs need to go artest-mode on embiid. yeah we get it dude, you're big, just because you're big doesn't mean you can't get knocked the fuck out.

Embiid wouldn’t pull that shit on James Johnson. Look up how Ibaka took down Marquese Chriss and then turned into a pussy once he realized he was face to face with Johnson vs Toronto

Bledsoe is kind of a fake tough guy too. He knows he’s smaller than most dudes. If Bledsoe was like 6 inches taller he’d look like an NFL linebacker though.

 

[The Derski]

But yeah, one of these days Embiid is going to push it too far and get clocked.

I love it when players don’t back down. NBA players need some edge these days.

Did you actually expect him too? Just curious

How was Bledsoe the instigator? He just made a long shot the ball needed to be inbounded and brought down the court by the 76ers but no he tossed the ball at Bledsoe who was not expecting it?

Bledsoe shoved Embiid in the back before that.

Clear as day.

Not sure what you are watching.

In general, dirty players are my favorite players.



Can't stand Embiid one damn bit though. He isn't hard or tough, just a giant douchenoozle.

What Emblid did, wasn't even noteworthy really. Players do that all of the time. If some one is smothering you, You're going to push him out of the way. Shaq Oneal used to knock them down with his big fat ass all the time. Kobe also shoved them to the floor for an easy basket. Bledsoe, needs to grow a set of balls

It needs to be asked, what's a denomintor?
