[Mizell] Embiid interrupted an interview with Lowry by asking, “Why are they talking to you?” in an exacerbated tone. “Where you lost Game 7 at,” said Lowry, referencing the Sixers’ crushing playoff defeat to the eventual-champion Raptors in 2019.

“exacerbated tone” ?? “exacerbated” … someone send my man a Websters, lol
I know standards are in the basement but still can’t believe an actual newspaper printed this
Oh my god, I thought that was just the OP. I didn’t realize it was written in the article. That’s embarrassing for a newspaper.
Here’s a relevant silly “slam poem” titled “The The Impotence of Proofreading” by Taylor Mali
That’s embarrassing for an undergrad student. For a newspaper like the Inquirer it should be a “get new editors” offense.
American education system paying dividends
For all intensive purposes, the interview clearly exacerbated Joel’s exasperation
You’ve really peaked my interest with how well you’ve got this English thing down packed.
Oh we’re definitely in agreeance on that one.
‘In agreeance’ is legitimate, just uncommon. And it’s had a lot of interesting recent history (Fred Durst hoopla) that for some ’agreeance = dumb people trying to sound smart’ whereas in Australia at least (where its use seems to be higher than elsewhere) might hear something like ‘are we all in agreeance?’
Molly purple sex
Look at this idiot who doesn’t even know how to spell defiantly.
Piqued* bruv
that’s the joke
I could care less about what you have to say.
The classic
That’s the joke
should of understood the joke
So painful to read this
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
My eye is twitching. Thanks for that.
Straight to jail
rage intensifies
It’s not rocket appliances
I just read exasperated in my head and didn’t even frickin notice. Good looking out
Genuinely, literacy has been kind of fucked up in the 2020’s.
On that note, my coder often asks if a patients condition is exasperated when she means exacerbated.
It makes me exasperated.
Probably text to speech.
A lot of really fucking bad mix-ups like that in articles and subtitles these days.
It take me right out sometimes
I enjoyed the ritter between Embiid and Lowry
ha, winning response right here, lol!!
Maybe his tone was strained because Embiid was talking a lot that day and had a sore throat.
Exasturbated
I don’t think it means what they think it means
A Bobby Webster.
I don’t even understand this tweet at all.
from my own understanding
“why are they talking to you” actually means why are reporters talking to you and not me.
Lowry’s response is basically I have a ring and you don’t
…his response was “because we’re in Toronto,” where Embiid lost game 7
not even just “not me”, joels ribbing lowry because he barely plays at this point
Joel barely plays too.
you must’ve been really proud of yourself to come up with such a witty and original joke
Joke?
He’s feeling sensitive still from the eagles loss
Unlike Agholor
can you even remember a bears playoff win before this week?
I’m not a Bears fan, fair attempt to make yourself feel better tho
I’m old enough to have watched them in a Super Bowl though, to answer your question
What joke? It’s a fact
Rings Errnnay
“RANGZ ERNEH, GOOGLE ME CHUCK”
Me neither lol
I think they mean exasperated.
Just a reminder that Embiid didn’t score a single point in the very next game he played in Toronto.
Gasol really did a numbers on him.
God I miss Marc Gasol
Believe it or not, I miss the 2018-19 Raptors. We both got rings in a relatively short period of time and Embiid still hasn’t been to the conference finals.
Society would get infinitely worse if we ever lose the “__ before Joel Embiid made a Conference Finals” meme.
GenG Chovy from league would win LoL Worlds than Joel Embiid will win NBA championship.
They running parallel right now.
At the same time if Embiid just never makes it to a conference final, the meme would apply to everything so it kind of loses meaning, I hope he eventually makes it but not too soon.
There’s precedent for that
If he gets carried to conference finals by Maxey then the meme can be laid to rest.
Raptors, Celtics, and Bucks all got their ring when LeBron left after being the top 4 teams in the east for years (outside of the Cavs).
Only the Sixers got left behind.
It was a stacked team, just deadly
Added to my anti embiid agenda
Added to Marc Gasol legacy
Not one goddamn point.
Why even have this agenda? It’s like having an anti-Harden or anti-Westbrook agenda. They’re already dead.
The grind don’t stop
Played like 30 mins too.
J0-11 Embiid
damn!
stephen a smiths reaction to that was pretty funny
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
I remember opening up the box score thinking it was a glitch or somthing
Reminder Embiid was a +9 in 46 minutes in game 7.
Congratulations?
Reminder that Embiid was sent home crying like a baby
“Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce” - Kyle Lowry, probably
“kawhi made people think I’m a hall of famer” -Kyle Lowry, probably
They went 53-19 without kawhi the next season
Kawhi fell on his face as title favorite vs young Denver and his career has been a disaster since.
Staying Toronto may prolong his prime a bit as eastern conference with Toronto can allow him to sit half of the regular season and probably the first round of the playoffs. However, he seems not care at all.
Easily. He’d have been top 20 all time
They won the title without OG. Kawhi is an idiot.
Playing with OG and Siakam wouldve saved Kawhis career. They’d have done all the heavy lifting for him.
Picking Paul George over those 2 damn.
Kawhi doesn’t care about any of that. He just wanted to get paid while living in LA.
Kyle Lowry is a hall of famer
Got em
Damn you know Joel gonna be thinking about that one at night
Bars.
That’s pretty funny actually
Breaking news, Embiid out for the next 6 weeks. 4th degree burn.
It was actually a pretty funny exchange and it was clear they were both joking.
Yeah the comments on this thread are just weird
Eh, it involves Embiid, so it’s about par for the course for /r/nba whenever he’s involved.
I need video of this interaction!
The Kawhi squat
I refuse to believe a player actually cares who the media wants to talk to and embiid wasn’t just making a joke
He was obviously making a joke. People hate Embiid too much to realize the guy is a big goofball and troll. Kinda like Scottie actually
Yea this is embiid clowning (my groat Lowry though hell yea)
They’ve got similar senses of humor, always ribbing and taking shots in a playful way
Lowry is playing 4d chess to pump Embiid up for tonight’s rematch with the Raptors
is this the dagger?
No video?
Show him the ring boss
I still remember watching a clippers vs Philly game the next season and kawhi tried to do the same shot to end the first half or quarter to fuck with them lmao
The shock just exacerbated Embiid’s long-buried pain, which resurfaced and clawed its way back up into the raw recesses of his heart, bringing rivulets of sad tears once more puring out of his red-rimmed eyes.
That’s tough to process
Embiid seems like the type of guy to come up with a comeback like 5 hours later while he’s in the shower.
Embiid is too chill. Say something like this to Bron or KD, they’d had his sorry ass shipped to Guangzhou Loong Lions.
Who gonna be bothering a washed Embiid with questions because of how much love he still has? Crickets.
