Before the year, if I told you the 76ers are 73 games in...
Embiid's missed 39 games, PG's missed 45 games, they traded McCain for picks and Maxey is actively injured...
That would sound like a disaster season. But they're seven games above .500! I believe in their ceiling.
English
@JoshEberley @Ozoon_CA Media driven narrative push*. Jokic’s mvp odds went from +4500 to +6000 after dropping 23-21-19 and 23-17-17 on b2b nights, and 22-14-14 the game before that, 3 games in 4 days, 3-0 record. Luka has no case to be even top 3, not a single stat you can point to that says otherwise
English
Luka on the hot streak of hot streaks.
11 straight games at 30+ points.
13-2 record over his last 15.
His MVP odds were +20000 11 days ago..
They are now just +1000.
That’s a pretty insane push down the stretch here.
English
@EthicalHoopz He won’t even finish top 3, I get SGA finishing above him, idk about Wemby when looking at the whole season but Luka literally has no case over Jokic, there isn’t a single thing or a stat that says Luka has been more valuable than Jokic but he’s going to finish above him
English
We are witnessing unprecedented levels of cope in an attempt to deny Nikola Jokić the MVP award
Benj@DebriefSportif
Je me réveille, je vois que Jokic a fait 19 PASSES DECISIVES pour UNE SEULE BALLE PERDUE. Alors je les regarde... Sérieux faut que la NBA arrête de se foutre de la gueule du monde sur le comptage des passes décisives. Pour la NBA, ces actions sont des passes décisives.
English
@DOC323123 Crazy that Luka will probably finish top 3 and is top 2 in odds. There isn’t a single thing or stat you can point to that says he’s been more valuable than SGA, Wemby or Jokic
English
@sixringsofsteeI Nuggets in 4 vs the rockets, nuggets in 5 vs LA and MIN, MIN could take 2
English
@NBABlackburn Pwat looked great. What on earth were those two Jokic turnovers to end the quarter+a dumb foul? Atp I expect a turnover everytime he touches the ball
English
Peyton Watson's looked pretty good here after kicking off the rust a bit.
Nuggets on the floor to start 2Q:
Murray, Brown, THJ, Watson, Jones
English
@iKnowBall0444 @AndrewDBailey lmao yeah I’m the one coping. You’re probably the only person on earth who thinks Embiid was better than Jok in 22-23, even Philly fans wouldn’t agree with you
English
@jaycee9987 @AndrewDBailey Jokic was not better lmao.
Cope through it.
Embiid dropped 47/15/5 on his head and hit a dagger 3 in his face in March at the end of the season.
Fuck outta here LOL
English
SGA is first in EPM and ESPN's net points per 100 possessions.
"Best player in the world" is just a matter of preference at this point.
From 2020-21 through 2024-25, I really don't think there was a reasonable argument for anyone but Jokić.
RNS 🇺🇸@RNS_USA
@AndrewDBailey Jokic is still first in PER, BPM, and VORP. Until someone is consistent ahead of him there, then he’s still the best player in the world.
English
@iKnowBall0444 @AndrewDBailey He won mvp but Jokic was the best player in the regular season and had an all-time individual playoff run+won tge chip while Embiid did his annual playoff drop+a second round exit. Literally zero argument for Embiid that year
English
@jaycee9987 @AndrewDBailey Its just a fact.
33/11/5 MVP
The next season before he tore his knee:
35/11/5 on 54/38/89 while playing all NBA defense and he sat 4Qs in 38% of games, and scored over a point per minute. Highest PER of all time.
He was on pace to be the UNANIMOUS MVP before he tore his knee.
English
@tjbey2000 @Charles68184300 @AndrewDBailey Embiid has one mvp only because of mainstream media driven narratives and voter fatigue
English
@Charles68184300 @AndrewDBailey Ofcourse he did, Joker literally has 2 mvps simply because Embiid didn’t play enough games, Embiid was having one of the greatest season of alltime in every metric on offense and defense in 2024 before Kuminga jumped on his kneee
English
@AndrewDBailey 2022-2024 Embiid was literally the best player in the world by a consider margin.
He was equal to Jokic offensively (better pure scorer) and literally 3x the defender still at that point.
Any take that Jokic was better than Embiid 2022-2024 other than health makes you retarded.
English
@AndrewDBailey Interesting that Shai is only 3rd in LEBRON below Jok(1) and Wemby. It’s historically a really accurate MVP predictor, Drose and Embiid are the only ones who won mvp and didn’t finish #1 LEBRON. MVP is wrapped up already tho so this will be the third time it has happened
English
Wemby is 38/41 (92.7%) on tip offs this year.
No other volume player is winning even 80% of their tipoffs.
Eddie Gonzalez@bansky
Serious question does Wemby ever lose the tipoff? How often?
English
@CmonNowStephon @NBABlackburn It started in the first quarter when he played 4 guards with Jokic. Nuggets win if he doesn’t do that
English
@NBABlackburn David Adelman the most compassionate coach in the league making sure to give the 1 seed a chance to get back in the game every second quarter 🫶
English
Final Rotations. High level basketball at the end.
SGA just made insane plays. Thought Jokic was great. THJ great. Murray made plays. AG 1st quarter was awesome. Denver just didn't have enough, and that's scary with OKC missing as many guys as they were.
English
@NBABlackburn Why not foul quick. Go down two points and then give yourself a chance for a quick three.
English
SGA. Wow. What a killer. That was an incredible performance.
English
@NBABlackburn He’s just the best player in the nba, no doubt. Jokic can claim his bitw title back in the playoffs but Shai is the best player in the nba currently.
English
Denver starting the quarter with Jokic after he played all 12 minutes of the 3rd should tell you all you need to know.
English
He's doing everything but that's the issue. He's screening and passing every play but it's time for him to take over with his scoring.
rico1000@RicoLostHisJob
@SwipaCam He’s not even doing nothing tho
