Embiid expertly trolls Draymond by hinting at 3-1 comeback
Draymond Green won the game, but Joel Embiid wants the last laugh.
The league's two preeminent trash talkers traded words throughout the Golden State Warriors' thrilling comeback win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
Embiid kept the conversation going a day later on Twitter.
Now we know what it feels like to blow a big lead.. Gotta stay focused to get the job done. Great learning lesson and I also love playing against Draymond #TheProcess pic.twitter.com/hGGQN1SH73

The reference to blowing a big lead goes beyond the 22-point halftime deficit Golden State overcame against Philadelphia to hint at the 3-1 series lead the Warriors blew in the 2016 Finals (though they avenged that loss with their second title in three seasons).
