You better believe Joel Embiid is reveling in the misery of Boston Celtics fans right now.
The All-Star center of the Philadelphia 76ers watched Boston get bounced from the NBA playoffs on Sunday night in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, and he was ready with a tweet to commemorate the occasion.
Now we’re on the same couch lol

Boston sent the 76ers packing in the second round in five games, which a number of Celtics supporters seemingly love to remind Embiid of.
During Game 6 between the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, the 7-footer was itching to talk some smack about big man Aron Baynes' performance, but backed off knowing the backlash from Boston loyalists would be overbearing.
I was gonna tweet about ponytail but y’all are gonna ask me about my lovely couch lmao😂😂😂

Now that both squads are no longer in contention, there's nothing preventing Embiid from going into full-blown troll mode with his rivals.
