Let’s just ignore those turnovers that Joel Embiid had late in the fourth quarter that hurt his team’s chances at winning their first game of the season. Just straight up ignore them. Instead, we can blame the loss on Hollis Thompson. Yeah, that sounds good. Frickin’ Hollis, sabotaging his team yet again with his antics. Also Richaun Holmes. Screw them both.
When we’re done blaming those two goofballs for their major role in the 76ers’ demise, we can appreciate how much hard work Embiid had to do to get his team in the position to blow the game. Defense, offense, the third side of the ball that only really good ballers know about, he was active in all facets of the game tonight.
It’s only a matter of time before Philly wins one. They look better than last year at this point, at least. That’s pretty good! Something something process blah blah blah whatever.
