I'm actually bummed Embiid is out. It obviously helps the aspirations to get a W, but I was hoping to see contract year Dre battle his nemesis.

Nemesis, huh. That's an interesting way to look at it.

Ha, yeah that might not have been the best term to classify that "rivalry."

You know what... I've just looked up the actual definition of a 'nemesis'. I'm sorry. You were kinda on point.

- The nemesis of a person or thing is a situation, event, or person which causes them to be seriously harmed, especially as a punishment.
- Someone's nemesis is a person or thing that is very difficult for them to defeat.

Well in that case, my use of "rivalry" in the 2nd post (although I used quotations) was more miscast. In a rivalry is competitive with both sides having moments where they one-up the other side. In the case of Dre vs Embiid, Joel OWNS Dre. Its entirely one sided.
