I am late to this party probably but what is this with Joel Embiid out here shoving reporters? Lol. Dude hasn't been in a game yet but he's fighting reporters now? (from what I hear the question was kind of out-of-pocket.)

Warriors showing the importance of depth and bench…

Hield was such a steal for $8m… He’s putting up numbers with Curry both on and off the court.

Kenny is a good coach. He's the guy I wanted over Redick, and Lakers never interviewed him.

I remember Cavs fans being so frustrated at those 2-big lineups with limited shooting that J. B. Bickerstaff ran. Kenny's basically saying F U to that and running a Warriors style offense with lots of backdoors and ball movement. Seems like he learned a lot from Kerr.

Yeah that was a fun game.

And it’s also always good to see Dillon Brooks have a bad game (7pts, fouled out lol )

Predictions on how long Embiid’s suspension will be, if any?

He seems to be coming apart at the seams a bit.

The journalist mentioned Embiid's dead little brother and then proceeded to passive aggressively bash Embiid for not being in condition.

Sometimes...you gotta let somebody that's gotten a little too comfortable understand why they shouldn't.

Hield goes hot and cold. He will cool down. But I agree he's worth $8 million for sure.

Not Embiid's biggest fan but sounds like the reporter had it coming. POS.

Also, seems like the inquirer deserve the same level of contempt, since they are trying to capitalise on the issue. Putting the article behind a paywall and getting quotes scrubbed from social media.

Reporters and journalists genuinely suck. They are the modern day vultures, and there are no ethics/standards anymore in journalism. Their jobs are to fabricate stories and content for clicks and fake outrage, so Embiid's outrage is justified.

However, shoving them is going too far. That just gives them more fuel and vitriol to play the persecution complex and victim card, even though they instigate 99% of the hatred directed towards them.

We facing them on Friday, watch Embiid is healthy to play that day too unless he does get suspended from that altercation with that columnist.

The teams that do not have stars seem to have the best ball movement.

Robert Williams has been upgraded to probable tonight. His first game in a year. Perhaps someone to keep an eye on as a potential trade target.

I'm sure will be the same with the Pacers tonight. It's a blessing I no longer have FanDuel network I would be inclined to stay up and watch instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Cavs start 8-0 which ties for their best start in team history.

Kenny is good and they are having fun.

The Thunder remain undefeated. They’ve got a +17.4 win differential and have won every game by double digits.
