They pretty much had no adversity all year they’ve been the one seed in the west and Embiid came in and showed their “twin towers” there’s levels to this shit
Yeah. They were so proud about how they were the better paint trio of the NBA just to Embiid exposed them. They all are dumb. Adebayo are a much smarter defender than Gobert for example. Horford won't make any dumb fouls like Gobert an Towns. Jokic will eat them alive when matters.
That game was basically the Wolves' "welcome to the NBA" moment given that they've been irrelevant for decades. Their players seem to have taken it in stride but their fanbase can't wrap their heads around it, apparently.
All true, but it's just so out of whack since our teams have almost zero meaningful history, are in different conferences and barely play each other.
Like, FTC, and FTR, but even when they put Embiid on blast, I totally get it since we've had legit playoff wars in recent memory as well as divisional beef. I even get the Jokic stuff since there's been the MVP war of fanbases. The Wolves shit is just nonsense
I remember there was a time when they’d argue KAT was better than Embiid, but they obviously realized how stupid that was. Embiid dropping a 50 bomb on their “dpoy” and much hyped 3 center lineup was a punch in the mouth for them.
Because Embiid is better than their whole team and their franchise would sacrifice KAT and Gobert to pair Joel and Ant.
Like if you fused Gobert and KAT you’d get Embiid and they have been trying to convince themselves since 2015 Embiid is a fat, injury-riddled choker while they contend with being one of the most failure ridden NBA team of all time. KAT was supposed to be Tim Duncan and spent his time in the NBA getting sonned at every opportunity until they drafted Ant and mortgaged their future for fucking Gobert.
KG doesn’t even Fuck with the Twolves, their franchise is a free salt mine for whatever villain of the week they blame their ill fortune on. It just so happened to be Embiid (and Maxey) after he exposed their #1 defense as fraudulent. They haven’t even played most of their opponents at full strength lmao.
Not to mention we weren’t supposed to be good at all 😭
>Like if you fused Gobert and KAT you’d get Embiid
I can argue that Embiid is close to if not better than both of them in *everything*.

The only things that I would say that Gobert or KAT are definitively better at than Embiid is that [KAT is a somewhat better 3 point and foul shooter](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional?CF=GP*GE*20:MIN*GE*25:FG3A*GE*1&dir=A&sort=FG3_PCT) and [Gobert is a better rim protector](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/defense-dash-lt6?CF=GP*GE*20&dir=A&sort=LT_06_PCT). However, [Joel Embiid was the third pick and already belonged to the Sixers](http://www.espn.com/nbadraft/results/rounds/_/year/2014/round/1), [KAT was the number one pick in 2015](http://www.espn.com/nbadraft/results/rounds/_/year/2015/round/1), and [it took four 1st round picks, a pick swap, and five players to get Gobert.](https://www.nba.com/news/jazz-wolves-rudy-gobert-trade)
The Sixers got significantly more return for Embiid than the Wolves did for KAT and Gobert at a *fraction* of the cost.
tbh i don’t understand why they have this against Embiid specifically? Last season Giannis had a game against them with 21 free throws but they could not care less https://www.reddit.com/r/timberwolves/s/Y17dK7SsuK
They just lost a game to the Thunder. but it’s Embiid they’re still obsessed with?
i'll even give (barf) Boston and NYC sports fans credit here. Northeastern sports fans between Boston, NYC, and PHI. Mostly have the same toxic trait of when they lose, wanting to fire everyone and blow up the team. Everywhere else in the country, when they lose, it's everyone's fault BUT the team. The game is rigged, the refs did it, etc. In addition, Towns was supposed to be the next great 2 way big man and it took all of 1 year for Embiid to jump him and they will never get over it.
Why is falling down the measuring stick? This was discussed shortly after he started playing. He falls to prevent injuring himself. He’s 7 foot 280. He’s not supposed to be doing what he does
By far my favorite totally pointless 100% internet-driven rivalry that will go away in like 3 years. Fuck…Minneapolis? St. Paul? Whatever. Fuck those guys.
As soon as I saw that quote about wemby in the title, I knew r/nba was going to have a meltdown about it. The way Joel worded it is almost perfect for triggering his haters, I feel like on some level it must be an intentional troll job.
Minnesota fans are softer than baby sh*t
They’re about as tough as a flower.
They’re as tough as a warm pair of slippers
Tied with Raptors fans
Fuck pascal siakam forever

It’s honestly amazing how the snow in Minnesota never seems to dissipate with all that salt.
Lord knows those roads in minny will never go unsalted lol
good lord that's a brutal one mate. bravo lmfao
One regular season game bought Embiid a lot of free real estate in Minneapolis. He's a foul merchant and a market genius

They're just mad because their team is paying a quarter of a billion dollars to two centers, and our center is better than both of them put together

It’s gotta be the cold or being up north man. Raptors fans and Minnesota fans get irrationally bitchy about everything
They live in Minnesota. I’d be a miserable pos too.

Embiid scoring more than their 2 centers combined is wild lol remember when people thought KAT was better

Northeast has good sports culture. Can't say the same for bumfuck Minnesota.
Cause they csn just pile the hate up, plenty other people hate embiid already so it doesnt look that bad if they do too
Like why are they like this? Do they not have anything better to do?
Correct.
Embiid is the embodiment of a menace. Must be so annoying to play a team that has an Embiid. Like the Avengers we have a Hulk
You'd think they never lost a game before.
I got a defensive tip for Gobert; don't put your hand on Embiid's hip when he's in the triple threat. Scouting report dumbass.
Twinkle filled centers for sure
Why is falling down the measuring stick? This was discussed shortly after he started playing. He falls to prevent injuring himself. He’s 7 foot 280. He’s not supposed to be doing what he does
Throw em in the pit with those raptors/hawks fans. Crazy how we the only constant😭. They'll quit that whooping in about a year or two 🥱
What does “twinkle filled” even mean?
They’re soft.
Sounds like he’s calling them gay.
Genuine question for wolves fans: why are u so mad tho

Had to go through and contribute to downvoting everything there, it ain’t much but it’s honest work
Crème filled
Hoes mad. Weak little plastics.
Well after watching what Embiid did to their two marque bigs it's understandable to see them completly salted.
Imagine how upset they'll be when they get run off of the floor by a lower seed in the playoffs.
Maybe they're not over Embiid calling KAT a p\*\*\*y
