Tonight, the Suns faced the Sixers after Eric Bledsoe joked that even Kentucky could beat them in seven game series. That may be ridiculous — one team has 15 professional players, while the other does not — but Nerlens Noel might have (and should have) taken it personal.

It was just a few seconds into the game when Noel hit Bledsoe with a flagrant foul on a shot attempt. Bledsoe wasn't too thrilled and went after Noel. Of course, the two got separated before anything serious went down.

The slight irony: They're both Kentucky alumni. Also, the Sixers didn't do much to prove Bledsoe wrong. Philadelphia lost 122-96 and still hasn't won a game this season.
