Joel Embiid Crying About Refs While Watching The Playoffs From A Couch Sums Up His Entire Sixers Career

Oh look at Joel here! So edgy to tweet out LOL at a 'bad' call during the playoffs, you know that time of the year when teams move on and attempt to play for a title. Just something to point out since this is as far as Embiid makes it every year. Now, if the LOL was because the Pacers blew a 9-point 4th quarter lead and had 4 total minutes of not scoring in the 4th quarter, I'd get it. That's the real story. They could have delivered a blow to the Knicks but they got up 9 points, immediately blew a lead and didn't score for 2 minutes. Then with under 5 to go they were up 5 and went scoreless again for another 2 minutes, blowing another lead. 

But again, a man who is known for not winning in the playoffs, being a gigantic crybaby and most notably losing a series to these beloved Knicks is just going to do what he does. He tries to troll and whine about refs. Get used to it Philly, this is your star. This is the face of your franchise. Games are going on and he's nowhere to be found, even more fitting it was during the 4th quarter. 

Also Pacers fans gotta figure out what you want. They keep bitching and moaning about wanting 90s basketball back and no soft fouls, yet are screaming for Brunson to be called for a flagrant two on a clean block. 

You'd also think people from the fine state of Indiana would understand fundamentals in basketball. Staying set on a screen is as fundamental as it gets. Jimmy Chitwood stayed set on screens. But this is about Embiid. Just a loser of a player who is trying his hardest to stay in the news as a villain of the Knicks. One more time.
