Evan Roberts was all kinds of riled up to open Friday’s show, clearly not over the fact that Joel Embiid wasn’t ejected for kicking Nic Claxton in the groin area during the 76ers’ game three win over Evan’s Nets in Brooklyn.
Evan came out of the gates on fire, demanding the Sixers star be suspended.
“It was a disgrace he wasn't thrown out of last night's game,” Evan said. “He is a dirty player.”
Evan even took some of his anger out on Sixers fans, who currently have all the bragging rights with a 3-0 series lead over the Nets.
“Here's why all of you Philadelphians are a bunch of hypocrites,” Evan said. “The greatest moment you've ever had in the last 30 years is Allen Iverson stepping over Ty Lue. Now, when Nic Claxton does it, you get sensitive?”
Embiid wasn’t ejected, and jokingly acted like he didn’t remember the incident when speaking with reporters on Friday. But Evan clearly didn’t think there was anything funny about it.
“The NBA should show some guts and suspend Joel Embiid for game four and right the wrong,” Evan said. “Because he's a sensitive little [sic] who decides to kick another human in the balls.
“He's a piece of crap who needed to be suspended.”
