Don’t mess with Carmela Soprano.

Falco said he was about to go after Embiid after the big man elbowed Brunson in the first round of the playoffs last season.
“Joel Embiid, he’s bad,” Falco said on the latest episode of the “Roommates Show.” “He 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 watched you guys play since then and you guys are all great to each other.” . I say, ‘Don’t you hold a grudge?'”

Brunson said he’s known Embiid since they came into the league and made it clear that it wasn’t right for him to throw the elbow, but any bad blood between them at the time of the heated moment was gone.
The Knicks had the last laugh anyway, as they defeated the 76ers in the first round and ultimately lost to the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs.

Falco hasn’t left his days on The Sopranos for a long time. She’s up for a “Nurse Jackie” sequel on Amazon Prime Video.
