October 31                               Did Embiid talk refs into ejecting Drummond?

            Joel Embiid is a player who loves getting into other players heads in order to mess up their game. Joel does this both on and off the court such as, on social media, and recently in person with  Andre Drummond’s. But in this typical game there was some heat towards the two big centers if you don’t know last year Embiid made a tweet saying that Andre Drummond can’t shoot so later in the day Drummond had sent a tweet out saying that you can’t really have a conversation with a man who can’t play back to back games. So Andre was waiting for the chance to go up against Embiid again. During the game the two big men were going head to head from the start the two teams were trading buckets after buckets and it was a very intense game so both teams didn’t want to end up losing. So as the game went on the more the drummond and Embiid got into it. So it was a close game all game and at the end of the third quarter the pistons were up 94-87 and that’s when people knew the game was getting more intense so as the game wore at on the crowd got into it the players started battling more then came the final minute of the game. In the final minute of the game Drummond had got his first technical foul of the night for shoving another player. Then just moments later Embiid went up for a layup made the shot and then him and Drummond got tangled up and he pushed Drummond’s elbow up near his face and flopped to the ground and and the refs had called a foul but Embiid was yelling to the refs to throw him out over and over and shortly later the refs threw him out. When this happens the crowd had a very bad reaction to the call made but the one person that kept their cool was Andre Drummond himself a lot of people thought that he would lose his cool and talk back to the refs because there was a bad call made. So Drummond id what he had to do and just left the game instead of making matters worse. So after that happened Embiid thought that he had it easy because one of the pieces that the pistons offence but he was wrong the pistons still had one more good offence player and his name is Blake Griffin and he was on fire this game going off on the whole 76ers team and getting a poster on Joel Embiid. So with Andre gone and the the next center that they had in the game with five fouls Blake had to do something to keep the  76ers from winning the game at this point in the game Joel couldn’t stop Blake with the 76ers down three there point guard J.J Redick hit an and one three point shot and tied the game with 1.6 sec left on the clock in regulation so the pistons had the ball at at half court because they had called a timeout so they had a play to get Blake open for the three to shoot so they could win the game and go home but that was not the case in this situation because Blake ended up missing the shot and the game had to go into over time.  So with the game in overtime everyone knew that Griffin had to show out and score way more than he did in regulation, so when overtime hit the intensity grew and the players were even more rough than the 76ers had

they shouldn’t of threw Drummond out. I think that because it’s not like he just threw his elbow at him on purpose Embiid moved Drummonds elbow up so it looked like he meant to do it. But the crowd did have a bad reaction to the call by the ref.
