Joel Embiid on MSG + Knicks fans: “I love being here. It’s my favorite place in the entire world, so it’s always good to be here. Talked back to the fans. They were quiet today. But I guess that’s what happens when you’re losing — the whole game”

Cook em Troel
The #2 option on the team just needs to stop talking and keep playing basketball. When things get tough in the playoffs, he’s going to either be looking for fouls or moping… Maxey and VJ are going to have to bail him out.
I prefer PG’s level of humility and professionalism.
Also this
“Obviously there’s some history but I love playing here. New York’s one of my favorite places in the entire world so coming here and playing here is always great. It’s good to get a win, **like** **usual**”
Probably stings double knowing that the Knicks are Adam Slitherer’s favorite team
Troel is close to 100%. Love to see it
I want you to put the word out there that we back up
