Nothing Wrong With A Good Ol' Fashioned Kick To The Dick

No idea why I'm the one doing this blog I guess I just love it more than most. And I have no skin in this game, I don't care who wins, though I guess now that I'm typing this I am rooting for Sixers vs Celtics to happen because I want Dave to fly to New York just so he streams with Smitty. If the guy is only going to work 3 weeks a year he might as well do what he does best, antagonizing poor Smitty.

But the point is, if someone wants to do the step over you, I think you have to kick em in the ding dong. If you don't, you become the new Tyronn Lue and get meme'd for the rest of your life. Nobody needs to be Tyronn Lue'd. So I think the NBA needs to accept this is a proper eye for an eye situation. You can do the step-over at your own discretion. Some players will kick you in the balls, some will take a more diplomatic approach. But suspending Embiid for the only countermove he had available would be setting a bad example for the kids.

But I guess on the other hand, don't end up on your back in the middle of a basketball game if you don't want someone to walk over you. So I guess I get that angle of it too. Regadless, go Sixers and go Celtics.
