They didn't even defend eachother until a few plays before that incident lol. Al Horford had been on KAT all night and KAT didn't line up against Embiid on defense. The closest they came to contact before that quarter was halfway through the first when Embiid was driving and pulled back reset the offense when he saw KAT cut his lane off in the paint.

While a Sixers fan myself....

Once i saw the pillow fight clip, I grabbed a couple cold ones and headed for Rafters...Knew the Embiid thug or punk comments and Simmons bashing would be going.
As well they should be. If the refs had done their job in the first place this should have been avoided. Embiid was fouling,slamming into and elbowing KAT continuously and the officials allowed it.

So what was the score? I know who adopted a narrative you heard from others, can you tell me any facts about Jimmy Butler beating the starters with the "towel boys"?

You can't tell me a single fact about this game but I'm the ignorant one. LOL. I'm not asking for anything unreasonable, just the score.
Everything you need to know is right here

Which is what I was stating. They were not on each other a lot up until that moment. Al stuck on KAT the majority of the time they were out there. The 2 centers had what 5 plays in which they defended eachother? That doesnt happen very often but its a unique situation with Horford out there as well.

Sixers players sure didn't care to get into the mix.
Yeah dummy, I'm talking about fighting. None of the other players were fighting because it's too costly, no Sixers players left the bench to join in. The only Sixers player that got into the mix was Simmons pulling KAT off of Embiid and that may end up getting him fined and suspended for the possible choke.

Now about that made up fairytale for dumb people? Did you ever figure out the score, how long they played, who was on each team or any other basic fact about the game?

I mean Jimmy Butler told you everything that needed to be said about how that team doesnt view KAT as a leader. Jimmy berated that entire team called everyone out beat them with glorified towel boys and they still took up for him when it came to JImmy vs KAT. Karl is just a weird dude who doesnt socialize and has more going for him than basketball. Guys can see that hes not a vocal or emotional leader and its hard for them to get behind that.
Jimmy Butler may be the biggest POS in the league.

I mean that might be true and as a Sixers fan I don't like Butler either but theres a reason those guys still follow Butler to this day and Karl struggles to develop a role as a leader. Karl will never be able to be THE GUY on even a playoff team. He just doesnt have the mentality to.

With do these ignorant sheep always link stories when they can't defend the BS they say. Nowhere in that story gives the score, gives the context of the game, who was on each team, how long the game was. You just got busted lying about a made up fairytale, that's why you can't answer the simplest question.

When the Dream Team lost to college All Stars over 20 years ago the score was 62-54 in a 20 minute scrimmage. It's not hard to provide facts about real games.

An NBA fight can cost players millions. There will like never be a full on brawl or players leaving the bench to join in. The NBA cut out all of that with serious fines and suspensions.
Oh I know those days are long gone. My first viewing it seemed like Towns was left alone, but second viewing I do see that Teague sprints in to at least grab Embid.

It’s a pretty hilarious clip though. Wrestling, Embid acting like he was in a boxing match, and guys in suits all trying to break it up. Overall it was pretty weak and more comical.

No its a big deal man you gotta act as if Embiid was trying to kill Towns. Towns is lucky he made it out of the arena alive. I mean can you believe that Embiid reacted to Towns throwing punches at him? He should have let Towns punch him in the face and just kept playing. I cannot believe anyone would disrespect our kentucky basketball alumni like that.

Embiid had been trying to start trouble every time he matched up with Towns. He should get a very long suspension for the eye gouge which is not even legal in UFC.

They wont suspend a guy because of incidental touching due to a scuffle. Towns eye isn't messed up and it didn't even get touched so it won't matter. Towns will likely get a 2-3 game suspension and Embiid will get 1 or 2 games. It will be interesting to see how they view what happened with Simmons. Doesn't seem like Simmons was doing anything malicious but it looked like it at the time.

You guys all act like you loved NBA basketball in the 80s, mean-*** ****-talking tough guys like Laimbeer, but when it comes down to it I’m not sure you actually do. Embiid is a trip, man, of course I have KATs back here but I’m not going to hate Embiid over it. I love characters, even if they’re the “heel.”

Agreed.

I don't care what others here think, I like Embiid. He's been a fun and entertaining addition to the League. Dude is quite a character.

He was choking him out after KAT was on the floor and the scuffle was over. Defending Embiid and Simmons in this shows your true colors.

Embiid doesn't even rep Kansas like that. Philly is Embiid now and also if Embiid is a "thug" which is a dumb term to use then so is KAT. Don't throw punches and expect hugs in return.

Was he choking out KAT? Did KAT tell you that? Btw the NBA refs just put out a statement that Simmons was the peacemaker in the situation which is what I expected. Simmons and KAT are really good friends so choking him out didn't make any sense. My true colors btw? lmfao I'm a Kentucky fan and a Sixers fan. My color is white. I'm a white guy. What is your true color?

KAT puts up some sweet numbers. That's for sure. I said he is known to and has a reputation for it.. Probably stems from the pic of him and Cousins posting up and KAT with the funky facial expression. I couldn't care less if he plays soft or no defense. Here tonight as a Sixers fan to check out the comments.

Been a Sixers fan since around 1980, but I fell off post-Iverson. Can't be tempted to get back on board with the recent players like Okafor, Embiid, and Simmons. Will pick UK players over Sixers all day and twice on Sundays.

No. I became a Sixers fan when they had Mo Cheeks, Dr J, Andrew Toney, Bobby Jones, Caldwell Jones and Daryl Dawkins. Too bad they were in their prime during the 80s when the Lakers and Celtics dominated. They would have a couple more rings during other spans.
Gotcha my family is from south philly so I always have had a connection to the city. Im an Eagles fan as well. I love the Sixers though. I enjoyed it more when we were tanking than I do now that we are conference favorites lol. There was less at stake back then.

I get Okafor..but Embiid and Simmons? Guys are ballers. Come on back, things are on the uptick. Been a long time since the Sixers were relevant...I'm loving every minute of it.

Only 4-0 team in basketball. Okafor was a lazy bum but Embiid and Simmons are all stars and fun guys. 2 guys who are the future of the NBA. As long as Jo's knees hold up.

Probably has more to do with my aversion to the NBA. But it is hard to get into the team when they don't have any players I really like. Also, I got really disgusted with players like James and Harden carrying water for China. Just disgusting.

Why don't you like Embiid and Simmons?
