I don't recall anyone hating on Jokic during his MVP's.

It's not like Embiid has a cocky attitude either. Is the hate coming from people who like Jokic?

Yes, most of the hate is coming from the forum’s Jokic meat riders.

Thanks for not disappointing me, guys….

“Hey - Embiid dodges all of the tough games”

Embiid drops FIFTY ONE on the NUMBER ONE defense in the NBA.

The response?

“Who cares? He’s a foul merchant.”

“Dude is simply unwatchable.”

And the go-to move:

“He’ll just suck in the playoffs…AGAIN”

The RealGM GB Embiid Fan Club. So on brand.

Nice job!


He does it to himself.

He had a phenomenal offensive game against an elite defense, but his first quarter antics just overshadow his brilliant performance.


Eh, that's fair I guess. He definitely looks for fouls too much still, and I'm fine as long as people realize that when he's at his griftiest he's usually at his worst on offense. It's his worst rhythm and he's much much better when he's making clean decisions to pull up or get to the rack.

I watch every game and feel like he should get even more calls than he gets. You have to foul him or he's going to drop 50 on your head.


No way this clown hits a 50 ball without a minimum 10-15 FTs. He’s all flop.


And he's going to continue to rack them fouls up because he can not be guarded.

Love it. Arguably the best combination of speed and 3 point shooting in NBA history
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

I think we got one stop on defense that entire fourth quarter but Ham decided to ride LeBron and AD like we dont play another game tomorrow.

Did he flop himself to that 17-for-25 from the field?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oof you guys have Minny tomorrow? That is rough. Ham should have pulled the starters a while ago.

The Bulls went from being in the worst position as a team in the league 3 weeks ago to now playing well and having a bunch of solid young players. Mainly because LaVine is out.

Go back and read my post about the refereeing changing the defence. The dude is the benefactor of touch foul calls that nobody else in the league gets.

Amateur. He didn't even give up 12 points on the other end like DLo did.
