Edie Falco clearly holds grudges.
The “Sopranos” star at the moment has one with Joel Embiid.

She criticized Embiid for elbowing Brunson when the Knicks and 76ers met within the first spherical of the playoffs final yr.
“Joel Embiid, he’s mean,” Falco mentioned. “He like elbowed you in a game last year and I was going to go after him. I mean that’s how bad it was. And then I think I’ve seen you guys play since then and you guys are all like cool with each other. I’m like, ‘You don’t hold a grudge?’”
In Sport 5 of that sequence — which the Knicks gained in six video games — Embiid caught out his and nailed Brunson’s head because the latter was chopping to the rim.
Embiid obtained away with it, although, regardless of Brunson’s anger on the time.

“You’re a Knick fan, however what does it imply to be a Knick fan? Simply that they play within the Backyard? It’s the blokes. It’s the blokes you get connected to. It’s the way in which they play collectively and the interactions and the within jokes and no matter you guys all have that reads. You do away with a few these guys, I used to be like ‘Are you f–king kidding me? You can’t try this.
“It’s not healthy, man. I have kids and a life and stuff and I absolutely fell apart.”
