We need the 76ers-Nets playoff match so Embiid can troll Durant
We need a Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets series in the post-season period. For trolling, if not talent. These teams squared Wednesday night with just phily prolific since Kevin Durant is still sidelined for Brooklyn. Although he was not on the field, Durant managed to make his presence felt via Twitter. Big surprise. The two-time NBA champion took to Twitter to express his displeasure with Sixers star Joel Embiid’s DX crotch, #WORRYAustralia mecelebration after an acrobatic show.
With the full strength of both teams, we get to see a series of seven fun yet immature games with lots of tights and sensibility to go around. In keeping with the theme of late 1990s pro wrestling, this match will be like DGGeneration X-The Dominion Nation’s feud for all old-fashioned WWF/WWE fans.
NBA is reminds us of WWF
Those two factions weren’t the main event at the time but were the best faction on some nights. The same can be said of the Sixers and the Nets despite their current rankings. Boston and Milwaukee (when healthy) are considered Class Ewest of Cconference. Based on matches, Celtics and Bucks are the main events in East. The Sixers and Nets are good but not quite as good as the others — match the bottom card. In ’98, it was the story of The Rock/NOD and Triple H/DX. Both are very good, but not on Stone Cold Steve Austin, or The Undertaker’s level.
Embiid would be on Durant’s last nerve with his hip thrusting and trolling nature. Durant probably gets a kick out of it to some extent, but he’s all business on the court and seems to smile rarely. Joel “Troel” is having fun most of the time while dominating in a way we haven’t seen from too many big men. The bonus of trash-talking Ben Simmons for potentially seven games probably excites Embiid.
Hopefully, these teams finish the season ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the East, so we get that second-round series. That is, if the Nets don’t slip up again in the first round. Durant vs. Embiid would be comical for an entire series, and I’m there for all of it. Every KD mid-range shot right down to every trolling crotch chop of Embiid’s following a tough basket. Kyrie Irving and James Harden will be the thoughts after Embiid, Durant and Simmons are constantly mocked by Joel. NBA, please make this happen. Do whatever it takes, but we need this in our lives.
