Disgusting Behavior: Uneducated Denver Nuggets fans chant ‘Where’s Embiid at?’ while up 25 points in the 4th quarter

‘WHERE’S EMBIID AT?’ – The Denver Nuggets handed the Philadelphia 76ers a brutal 144-109 loss on Tuesday night. Although that should have been enough, it wasn’t just the scoreboard doing the talking. The disgusting Nuggets fanbase, mentally-ill and obsessed over Joel Embiid, couldn’t stop asking where he was while they completely murdered a banged-up 76ers team.

With the game well out of reach, Nuggets fans erupted into a taunting chant of “Where’s Embiid at? Where’s Embiid at?” in response to the 76ers’ superstar missing yet another trip to Denver, this time due to swelling in his left knee.

Oh, Great: Joel Embiid is OUT for at least another 7-10 days due to swelling in left knee

Nuggets fans: “Where’s Embiid at?… Where’s Embiid at?”

“Where’s Embiid at?… Where’s Embiid at?”

Nuggets fans are chanting for Joel while up 25 in the 4th quarter 😂

Side Note: Saying “at” and using a preposition at the end of question is just foolish.

While JoJo undoubtedly has the skill to dominate pretty much everyone in the NBA when healthy, his availability—or lack thereof—continues to be a glaring issue. He’s played in just 13 games this season, following a 39-game campaign last year. For context, he’s never played more than 68 games in a season since being drafted in 2014.

That’s why I’m confused. Joel is hurt. That’s why he’s not playing.

Nuggets fans need to pay attention and educate themselves. Our guy is hurt hurt and missing last night’s game shouldn’t have even come as a surprise, right? Chanting “Where’s Embiid” while up 25+ points in the fourth quarter is not only insulting but downright stupid.

I mean seriously, I have never witnessed such an insufferable fanbase in all of sports. It’s like they don’t even have internet in Colorado.

Part of me respects it because they are so disconnected from the outside world and don’t have to carry the weight of being a Philadelphia 76ers fan but at the same time, it’s completely ridiculous behavior. 

On top of that, you’re chanting about an Olympic Gold Medalist for Team USA and one of the most dominant basketball players in NBA history (when healthy) so maybe show some fucking respect? 

Of course, when you’re in a state like Colorado and root for a bonafide superstar like Nikola Jokic, who by the way, absolutely hates America and the NBA, it makes sense. 

I think if you’re reading this, then you are very well aware that I don’t mind shit talking anyone or anything. So chanting seems to be right up my alley but actually, that’s not the case, even more so when you look at the reasons behind it and the fact that our guy, Joel Embiid, has pretty much dominated Nikola Jokic any time they do meet head-to-head. 

I pointed this out yesterday when the media and Nuggets fans alike started nearly a decade-long tradition of claiming that Embiid was “ducking” Jokic in Denver. 

Back here in reality, that’s simply not the case. Joel Embiid has never and will never “duck” Nikola Jokic. In fact, that’s when he typically plays some of his best basketball.

Joel Embiid vs Nikola Jokic / Denver Nuggets:

Honestly, it feels good to have people trashing Joel Embiid on social media again. Don’t get me wrong, it’s annoying as shit but only because the people doing it are a bunch of uneducated morons.

Embiid doesn’t deserve the criticism, but at least someone is talking about him and the 76ers while they are on the verge of going from contenders to full-blown Tankathon favorites this season. 

Again, Embiid isn’t playing. He’s sidelined because his left knee is swelling and probably won’t return until after the NBA All-Star Break. 

After last night’s disaster, the Sixers are now 15-27 on the season. They sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference Standings.

I think it’s important to note that Joshua Harris, the guy who owns the Philadelphia 76ers, is completely out of the picture. Harris is too busy talking about “organizational culture” and the “importance of having good leadership” in relation to his NFL team, the Washington Commanders, who ironically come to South Philly on Sunday to play in the NFC Championship Game against the Eagles.

Just fucking kill me already.

‘Modern Day Paul Revere’ cycles through Philly area to warn everyone that the tyrannical Joshua Harris will bring the Commies to South Philly on Sunday

Anyways, there’s nothing funny about Embiid battling injuries this season. It’s bad for the game of basketball and has definitely taken a toll on Embiid himself. So no, Denver Nuggets, he’s not “ducking” Nikola Jokic. If anything, Embiid should have those games circled on his calendar because he’s typically in for a big performance.

Joel Embiid has averaged 27.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 8 games against Nikola Jokic in his career. 

Last time I checked, Jokic and Nuggets came to South Philly and on the second night of a back-to-back, Joel Embiid continued his tradition of dominant performances them at home, scoring 41 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, assisting 10 shots, and blocking 1 shot on 13-23 FG, 3-6 3PT, 12-15 FT shooting.

How quickly we forget how dominant Embiid can be on a basketball court. Disgusting.

I repeat, Joel Embiid isn’t ducking anyone and if he was doing that, it certainly would NOT be Nikola Jokic. But hey, you got what you wanted, right? Nuggets fans are uneducated, attention-seeking losers. Enjoy your flowers while basketball in Philadelphia is on the brink of immortal irrelevancy.
