There's nothing wrong with Embiid. He plays with a perennial choke artist and is coached by the chokingest coach in NBA history.

Embiid had 40 on Giannis right before All star break. They pretty much played evenly.

It's always what did you do today. No one cares about a game before the all star break. Narratives change so quickly.

For all the MVP hype for Embiid, and for how good he's been, Giannis is simply better.

All in one game, Giannis just showed EMBIID who the real MVP is, who the DPOY is, and whonthe FMVP is.

Giannis may be the best player in the world, and reminded the world who the best player is.

Champion **** right there.

There's Embiid's chances of winning the MVP.
Blocked by Giannis.

This is the way Harden needs to play for the Sixers to get anywhere. He was extremely aggressive and took a lot of pressure off Embiid.

Thats the 2nd time(Nuggets)I’ve seen Rivers just let a big run happen and literally do nothing to stop the other team’s momentum.

Embiid had 40 on Giannis right before All star break. They pretty much played evenly.

That’s not how it works. Embiid has superstar James Harden now. Giannis overcame both of them. Giannis was easily the best player on the court. That block is what people will remember. Voters will remember


Tell the truth - watching the game tonight, did you find Embiid's support cast impressive? Harden aside (but even Harden).

Philly's roster is low-key awful. 3 good players and the rest specialists at best.

Been saying this since day 1, but everyone else is like, blargh they got Harris and Maxey. Maxey is doing well, but the dude is a 2nd year player. Harris is the most overpaid player in the leauge.

If Rob doesn't return to the Celtics, I'm all on board Mil repeating.

As far as tonight I would say Tobias had a very good game. I know he hasn’t been good since Harden has come though.
