EMBIID VS TOWNS
The NBA season has begun with a great start with many noteworthy performances in the first handful of games in which teams have played this season. This includes Kyrie Irving's 50 point game in his season debut with the Brooklyn Nets against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Also, Los Angeles Lakers' Star Anthony Davis poured in a 40 point 20 rebound game in historic fashion by completing the feat by just playing 31minutes of action. The one thing everyone will be talking about tomorrow is the fight that took place tonight in the Philadelphia 76ers vs Minnesota Timberwolves game. The fight occurred between Minnesota's Karl Anthony Towns and Philadelphia's Joel Embiid in the 3rd quarter. The fight will result in suspensions for both Towns, and Embiid also likely one for Philadelphia's Ben Simmons he put Towns in a chokehold while the fight was being broken up. This can be an event that can bring the 76er's even closer as a team due to the fact it showed that they have each other's back no matter what happens. Also with Timberwolves, it can also cause what to me seems to be just a working relationship to be an event that puts a strain on the relationship between Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins who is Minnesota's other cornerstone piece opposite of Towns did not seem willing to stick up for his teammate in a passionate manner compared to how Simmons did for Embiid. If the TImberwolves want to think about the playoffs Towns is the key and if he is gone for more than 3 games it will be hard for them to bounce back. The 76ers play the Timberwolves again March 24th it will be interesting to see when they meet again if the officials will be on high alert given everything that transpired. An excellent start to the season I cannot wait to see what else the season has in store.
