Fans in shock, horrible support
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Ill say this about Embiid. I think he does need to take his conditioning to the next level. Multiple times now in this series he seems to let it all out in the first 3 quarters and he is visibly gassed at the end of the 3rd. Then comes the 4th and he just doesnt have the same impact.

Embiid getting MVP is an embarrassment. He looks like he's given up

Horford at 36 but still the best Embiid defender

You're the goddamn MVP, how you letting 50-year-old Al Horford destroy

The 4th quarter has been awful for the 76ers. Where's the energy that the 76ers showed in the 1st 3 and half quarters of the game? Where's the defense? Where has Joel Emiid been in this quarter?

Sure, the Sixers are going to lose the series in embarrassing fashion by blowing a big 4th quarter lead, but at least they can focus on what really matters: Joel Embiid won the MVP award.

Lol at this Sixers org. Won game 1 without Embiid, forced his return in Game 2 and lose the next 3 games :lol: At worst, this should be 2-2 without Embiid playing a single minute in this series.

Embiid needs to give back the MVP

Everyone other than Sixers fans and Jokic haters know who the real MVP was.

Embiid should reunite with Jimmy in Miami. That’s like a shoe-in for 2 rings.
