Jokic - 31/14/6
Barnes - 30/10/5

I'm not saying he's anywhere on his level lol but I don't think a lot of the GB realizes the jump Scottie has taken this season & it would be so much more obvious if we finally moved Pascal out of his way. But if you actually watch Barnes this year, the skillset is there to be a star in the league, I'm not saying on Jok's level lol or anything like that but if you actually watch how most times he can get to where he wants and now is hitting his shots at a decent clip. I'm not sure what his ceiling is but he's gonna be something...

That left handed full court pass he made I think him and Jokic are the only ones capable of making. A thing of beauty

[Sixersftw]

7'2 hitting middys like Richard Hamilton out there. definitely an unskilled manufactured star

GRIFTING THOSE MIDDIES

Dave Silver bent the rims.

[Tracymcgoaty]

Lakers have a handful of momentum killers man

Lebron has been a major part of those.

[Sixteen]

If Embiid just played the way he did the last 3 quarters I think he'd be just as well respected as someone like Jokic.

But that flopping in the first quarter was pathetic and unnecessary. Minny decided to play him straight up instead of doubling, and he can take anyone in the league straight up. There's no need to flail like a bitch.

Show video of him flopping this game. You can say he gets weak calls but he's not flopping for them, the refs are just giving the MVP favorable calls. This is not new

I posted this before reading the next two pages and realizing that multiple people think he was indeed grifting to get them. Also the midrange shots tonight were apparently unconstested too

Dlo comes in and immediately gets scored on 3 times in a row

edit - jk 4 times

So, after watching the game I predicted that the Game Thread would be in full meltdown mode.

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!

If Gobert only played 24 mpg, the majority of which he was in foul trouble due to extremely soft calls, Minny wouldn't be #1 D in the league.

He got in foul trouble because he couldn't guard Embiid clean. Period.

gotta stop fouling him then. Teams go into games looking to be physical and this is what happens when you're trying to be physical against someone as skilled as Embiid.

Do you even watch your own team? The fouls he’s getting aren’t some egregious contact fouls. They’re touch fouls that aren’t getting called on any other play or the other end.

Look how many times Ant was hacked in this game with no call.

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.

[JustBuzzin]

What's with the Embiid hate?

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?

Is that known flopper Kyle Lowry in your profile pic?

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.

[Wolfgang630]

Damn getting handled by Chicago lol. IST CHAMPIONS!

[Mamba Mentality]

D Lo getting his ass handed to him on defense. Excellent substitution by Ham as usual.

[Tracymcgoaty]

We are soooooooooooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Im so happy i've opted to keep my mental health and sleep early instead these past few games. I haven't even watched highlights.


Because we are soooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaad.

Forget the free throws. He was SEVENTEEN FOR TWENTY FIVE from the field.

Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to complain about him going to the line when he made SEVENTEEN shots from the field?

Never change, GB. Never change.

Wait, so Philly fans are able to spot flopping?

I was beginning to wonder.

[LSWF]

Unbelievable
. Yall ask for them to play against the top defense.. He drops 50 on them and then you say the league is in on it. Embiid historicaly has always had Gobert's number.

Yes those refs really did a number on Embiid and the sixers. Blatantly biased for the Wolves. Amazing that they could overcome it.

The salt on this thread is next level. Gandhi you don't need a salt march, just come to the GB.
