Embiid is a punk who is protected by refs.

Two ejections in less than 5 total minutes over the last week!

Embiid is a punk who is protected by refs.

100%! Can't wait for him to get shown up in the playoffs. Dream scenario is for Brooklyn to get that 6 seed and bounce them

Another instance of Embiid being the aggressor on someone half his size, they push back, and he waits for everyone to come together before “charging” at said player.

Guy really is a tool. But he does know how to get under some players skin.

He said in the post game: "I'm pretty good at what I do, this is the second time I get one of the key guys from the other team thrown out, so I was pretty excited about that."

Presumably the first time was Marcus Smart 

The question about the Bledsoe ejection starts at 0:40.

I think I'll side with Bledsoe on this.

I hate that punk Embiid.

Tazz will set you all straight tomorrow

Regular season ejection... he'll be found out again in the playoffs.

Guards need to not react to that kind of stuff. I expect a guard like Marcus to know that. Especially as we had huge success frustrating Embiid in the last playoffs where we were the agitator and he was the one reacting..

I watched the video this morning and you can see Embiid actually look at the ref to his right before he "goes after" Bledsoe just to make sure there's no way this will escalate into anything real and he can put on his little show of being a tough guy.

Embiid instigated it but Bledsoe really should've been smarter there.

they both push each other and that slightly push isn't a technical foul for me, after that Embid throws the ball to "Drew" Bledsoe and he responds, both should get one technical, refs overreacted in my opinion.

I thought the refs handled it perfectly.  Bledsoe was guilty of two infractions, and was the most aggressive of the 3 guys involved. Glad he got ejected.

[Walker Wiggle]

Hard for anyone to make me like Eric Bledsoe, but Embiid just did it.

I guess the refs had a radar gun on the ball.  Both threw it at each other but Bledsoe's was faster.  And like you said they both pushed each other but Bledsoe pushed a little harder.  It didn't seem like it was handled fairly.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

I dislike both of these guys, but come on, Embiid threw the ball at Bledsoe first! He didn't throw it hard, but he threw it right at him, and at least one of the refs had to have seen that.

I'm amazed at the level of foolishness and incompetence that professional refs and players sometimes display.
