The Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers renewed what is developing into a fun little rivalry Thursday night and it didn’t take long for things to get a quite heated in Philly.
It all happened shortly after Phillies right-fielder Bryce Harper rang the bell to get the home crowd fired up for the game.
Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe, who is six-foot-one, pushed Joel Embiid, who’s 7-feet tall, from behind in the paint.
Embiid lightly threw the ball at Bledsoe, who caught it and immediately fired it back at the Sixers center and started walking toward him before things were broken up.

Now that is some fun stuff right there by Bledsoe, who unfortunately pulled a Gregg Popovich and was ejected just two and a half minutes into the game.
But yeah, a playoff series with these two teams would be fun.
