Joel Embiid is the master at throwing shade and talking trash, and he was back at it again on Sunday night after the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Boston Celtics from the postseason.

This tweet seems to be a follow up of one he sent after Aron Baynes was dunked on by LeBron James during Game 4.

Embiid also dunked on Baynes during their playoff matchup, so he kept going with the shade after Baynes was put on another poster.

Embiid did get some kickback for this tweet though, talking about how he was already on his couch, which is probably why Embiid tweeted about being on the same couch after the Celtics were eliminated.

Even though Embiid was just throwing a shot at “Man bun” and talking trash, he might actually be onto something here.

After being solid during most of the playoffs, and at the beginning of the series, Baynes seemed to disappear when the moment mattered most.

He played 19 minutes each in Game 6 and Game 7 and was only able to muster up a total of three points. Although he did grab some rebounds, he wasn't as productive as the Celtics needed him to be to win one of the final two games and advance to the NBA Finals.

Even though Embiid might have got the last laugh on Twitter in this feud, it still seems like the Celtics got the last laugh.

Even though they were eliminated by Cavaliers, they still made it seven games farther than Embiid, and the young guys got some good experience for the future.
