I think it was a good call. I never extended my arm and I never really put a lot of pressure into hitting him. And you could tell right before the hit, he was trying to flop and fall.

And based on the way, those are officiated — We got some guys that basically play like running backs in this league that get that call all the time — I was pretty confident.

Now who could Joel Embiid be talking about? Running backs don’t play basketball! Let me do a quick Twitter search for “running back” and see if I can turn up any results. Hold on…

Cavs fans are out here defiling a legendary song like Bust A Move and turning into Jokic stans because Joel might’ve pushed off:
