The Chicago Bulls and their fans are probably frustrated with Joel Embiid right now. But who can blame them? After all, it seems like the Philadelphia 76ers center has their number every time they face.

That much was made clear once again after Embiid exploded for 40 points and 1o rebounds to lead the Sixers to a 119-108 win over the Windy City franchise on Sunday. DeMar DeRozan actually put up 45 points for the Bulls, but his efforts were not enough to stop JoJo and co.

In the process, as highlighted by NBC Sports Philly, Embiid improved to 10-0 in his career against the Bulls.

Now that has to hurt for Bulls fans. While Chicago got off to a brilliant start to the season and are on track to make the playoffs, it's certainly not a good thing to see that a conference rival has been making life hard for them for a long time now.

For the Sixers, they know very well how lucky they are to have a player of Joel Embiid's caliber. The Cameroonian big man is the leading candidate to win the MVP award this 2021-22, and if he keeps up producing the same type of numbers as he did on Sunday, claiming the highest individual honor in the league isn't too far-fetched.

The Sixers and Bulls still have one game left this season, scheduled next March, and by the looks of it, Embiid and Philly are raring to complete a season sweep of the Chicago franchise.
