Embiid with 50 against the Wizards and they needed every single point.

LOL.

Good for Embiid though. That’s why he’s right there near the top for MVP

Luka is going to have to work on his acceptance speech if he wins MVP.

Embiid was nursing a sore hip the first game, and it was an issue for 3 or 4 game. For the next one he was sick and was a last minute decision when he was warming up, but yeah continue with that narrative. Explain this to me, how was the entire team sick, including Maxey, and the entire team sans Tobias missed games, but Embiid is the one that is ducking?

Is this the new narrative you guys are going for because you can't attack anything else about Embiid in the regular season?

Right now the separating factor between Embiid and Jokic is the playoffs, that's it. That's a big one, but that is it. These made-up conspiracies of him ducking are truly amateur hour on this thread.

You guys are trying to make something out of nothing. if this was a legitimate concern, why hasn't a credentialed author talked about this?

You guys should write to the NBA about this, like that redditor made a big deal about JJRs blocks being higher in Memphis.

LMAO, ya'll need to go outside and touch some grass. Time to take the tinfoil hats off.

The best part of this, is the tweet comes from a Nuggets fan... Hmm I wonder if he has any bias in this...

When you actually watch Jokic, you know for a fact that dude is trash on defense but come on Realgm, you’d think otherwise. Gianni’s for mvp

Denver can't win on the road, no matter who plays
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Lots of box score watchers on here, who see some highlights on twitter of Jokics anticipating a play saying, oh look he has a preternatural ability to see the court on defense, or he's some sort of defensive savant. The latest is that he's a coach in waiting.

He said it in the thread. 1. Denver is going to slide and wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t top 5 in the west 2. Even said this for a while, Jokic is flat out one of the worst superstar big men when it comes to defense. He obviously offsets it with all time offense but that’s exactly why the Jordan/Lebron comparisons make 0 sense

Funny how these guys come out of the woodwork. When Jokic has a bad game. lol. Worse shooting game of his career. It’s all good. I find it funny.

You do realize that I literally went back and forth with you pages back because I pretty much called you and some other guy’s Jokic takes ridiculous. Come on now. Giannis for MVP. And no, Jokic isn’t in any Bron nor MJ era. Boutta be outside top 5 in his prime. Silliness
