Trust the juju.

Huge test with the 6-game winning streak on the line. Nuggets are sitting at the top of the West, but have a pretty mediocre road record at 12-11.

Go team!

This will be an interesting game. Our off ball defense is pretty bad so I could see Jokic dicing us up. On the other hand, we should put Jokic in a million PnRs because I don’t think he can hold up.

I think this is an Embiid stinker game, he is still injured and will try to force it too much to prove a point against Jokic. Hope I'm wrong of course.

Basically this. Our defense sucks right now and their offense is a juggernaut (if everyone plays).

But Embiid should score easier than ever on Jokic given that he gets put in PnR to oblivion.

Also, this is probably THE game where Harrell should thrive as he's gonna be guarded by Deandre Jordan.

Not sure what you mean. DBPM marks Jokic as the greatest defensive player in NBA history!

Gotta laugh at the ridiculousness of it.

Jokic is the best example how our data driven world can manipulate our beliefs that may or may not lead us to see the big picture or the truth.

You can’t just look at the data. Life is filled with variables that can’t be captured with data.

Anyway, im excited with this upcoming game and my only complain is the schedule.

76ciology · Post #8 » by **76ciology** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 6:50 am

What im expecting is both teams scoring around 130-150pts, doing lay-up drills and shooting over defense that isn’t allowed to get close to the shooters.

Then crunch time its a battle of Murray-Jokic vs Harden-Embiid. The duo who can’t score when the music stops loses the game.

Adam Silver, after watching the game, e-mails the owners “this is exactly how the the game should be played!”

I want to see Embiid take this game personal and go for 50.

I really don’t want to see that lol. I’ve seen enough games like that and it usually ends up with terrible offense or Embiid hurting himself.

Yeah of course you don't want Embiid dominating, as you don't even like in in the first place.

An Embiid taking things personally is a reckless, playing forcing, dunk missing Embiid.

To clarify, I want to see Embiid score 50 but I don’t want that to be his goal for the game.

This team is missing a above the rim ,shotblocking /rebound forward to help Maximize Harden and Embiid

Embiid seems to usually have that mindset in these day time nationally broadcast games but ends up forcing some bad shots. I'd love to see him out do Jokic for sure but I hope he isn't overly aggressive, especially in the 1st quarter

76thBearCub · Post #17 » by **76thBearCub** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 7:26 pm

I've only caught a few live games so far and at this rate I'm not guna remember much about this one. Still here to offer opinions tho

So who gets more: Joker's assists or ref-provided Embiid trips to the FT line ??
