Pascal Siakam shoves Joel Embiid and they almost fight
Pascal Siakam rose to fame during the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Siakam was an unsung hero during the 2019 NBA Finals, when the Raptors won the championship. The Raptors have had an odd history since winning their title. Without Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors were actually a better team. In 2020, they took home the East’s number one record. However, the Raptors were upset by the Celtics in the playoffs.
The Toronto Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers on their way to their 2019 title. In 2020, the Sixers were expected to take a major step forward. Instead, the Sixers lost their momentum in the bubble and were swept by the Celtics in the first round. Last season, the Sixers took a major step forward, claiming the East’s top record, but lost to the Hawks in an upset in the second round.
Joel Embiid is tired of the upsets, so he took matters into his own hands, this season. As the Sixers have had their struggles, Joel Embiid has played like an MVP. In a season of upheaval, Joel Embiid was one constant. Last night, Joel Embiid remained that constant, as he made sure the Sixers won Game 1 over the Raptors. Before the game ended, Joel Embiid and Pascal Siakam almost came to blows.
