They had 2 chances to send Boston home
& they blew it.

Doc Rivers should take part of the blame here..

But you’re the F’ing MVP.. show it!!

Can’t be true because dirk got bounced early by the warriors

It has to be true because all the careers of the prior winners are finished besides Durant/Curry/Harden/LBJ/Jokic/Giannis.

Your counterpoint would be true if the stat specified at the time the player won MVP

yup, Doc doesn't need to wait around to get fired (which will happen anyway) - he should resign if he has even a sliver of integrity

he won't obviously, because getting fired means getting paid

Jokic made it as far as Embiid did with a starting backcourt of Campazzo and Rivers which is EASILY THE WORST starting backcourt of all time not even close while this dude had MAXEY AND HARDEN. Never compare them ever again!

Jokic is the Steph Curry of centers

disrespected b/c of "defense" and "wasn't athletic enough" but now people realize that Jokic, just like Steph, is an entire offensive system onto himself.

Poole is not my boy, i want him traded. But not before Dray and Klay.

I just try to have a fair opinion versus him. You were bashing him even when he played well.

I am a dubs fan, my friend, not a certain player's . And i will always be, maybe you can process this in that obtuse head of yours.

Cheers.

This is such a trash topic. Stop MVP shaming based on the playoffs!

Focus on how Embiid didn't deserve it based on his regular season!

He's not even close to AD.

Joel Embiid in win-or-go-home games:
22/11.2/2 on 39% FG / 26% 3pt

3-6 record

Remember that guy a few threads ago that stated that Embiid would be just as great as a passer as Jokic if he had the opportunity?
