Joel Embiid Was "Pissed Off" at Sixers Fans for Letting WFC Be Taken Over By Knicks Supporters
Joel Embiid showed zero self awareness when criticizing fans Sunday:

Would Embiid go eat at the same steakhouse over and over again if every time his meal came out it was cold in the middle?
There was no juice for this Sixers team all year. The’ve been trending down since they lost Game 6 and 7 last year. Partner that with the fact that the Knicks are good after years of being dogshit and you have your answer for why there were so many Knicks fans in the Wells Fargo Center during Game 3 and 4. Look across the street. Do you think the Mets or Yankees would pack CBP during Red October? Absolutely not. It’s like that place has a forcefield around it keeping out opposing fans. Because the Phillies are on fire in this town right now. They’ve made it to the NLCS in back to back years and even had a World Series appearance. We’ve poured our money and time into them and they’ve actually reciprocated. The Sixers organization have given us nothing and wonder why we don’t think it’s worth it to show up. Look yourselves in the mirror and examine how it got to this. I hope Josh Harris was embarrassed when he saw the “Fuck Embiid” chants in their home arena:

Just got done interviewing Sixers fans, and in all my years working here, I haven’t seen a fan base take over as much as Knicks fans here.

I don’t think he is though.
At some point the same movie gets old. We’re watching the same plot over and over and over again. Hurt franchise player, bad supporting cast, coming up short in crunch time. Rinse and repeat.
