Jordie kinda blogged this last night after Embiid got tossed.
He took the angle killing Embiid like has this season for Embiid’s repeated absences and antics.
And make no mistake, nobody can stand Embiid less than me.
I think he’s one of the biggest perpetrators in Michael Rubin’s giant crew of frauds.
But even I have to admit that what happened last night was a complete and utter joke.
Mondays game was officiated with the kind of precision you’d expect from a dart thrower after happy hour.
The drama began when Andre Dummond was whistled for breathing on Wemby, and he flailed to the ground.
Upon review, she admitted her mistake.
Then they wipe the tech away, and the FT, and bring Drummond back out.
What a fucking clown show.
But the damage was done.
A full-on Embiid eruption that saw him ejected before it was even halftime.
And while it was a weak whistle, lets not pretend Embiid is some innocent victim.
This man is a Hall of Fame-level flopper.
Its like the pot screaming at the kettle for being too black.
So why does this feel like an overreaction straight out of an eighth-grade school dance?
Its like the refs are perpetually auditioning for a role in a fucking soap opera.
The NBAs obsession with officiating every brush of contact has made the game borderline unwatchable at times.
They buy tickets, and tune in to watch the superstars.
And Embiid is one of the league’s stars.
He is also a guy who has barely been on the court this season.
The Sixers got lucky though.
Tyrese Maxey saved the day with 32 points, and they held on for a 111-106 win.
Here was Nick Nurse holding back avoiding fines after the game.

Howard Eskin is such a troll it’s crazy.
