 Nuggets in 5 and playing all the overs for Porter Jr this series. Played well for Martin last and think he has such a size advantage on the boards and no one constesting his shot.

Thought Jokic was quiet tonight but ended up with 27/10/14. @mr_huntstill not as good as that bow legged loser though

Bwahaha trying to catch up to the MVP and his game 7 -28 but unfortunately he will never be that level of crap 

Joel career 40 plus point games = 1

Jokic 40 plus point games this year = 3

Jokic

 

 

 

 

Embiid

 

Bam is closer to Embiid than Embiid is to Jokic 

Don’t disagree with that sentiment. Jokic has proven he’s a better player than embiid. And bam is closer to embiid than the other way. However, I also think jokic very likely isnt winning this title and continue to be ringless if not for Jamal Murray returning back to what he was prior to the injury. However jokic can make the argument he has shown up in the postseason even when they lost in the past. And for sure stayed healthier and played more consistently in the playoffs then embiid

Obviously Jokić isnt an any worse of a player than he was in 2021 and 2022 when he won the mvp but lost in the postseason. Jokic put up good stats in those playoffs. In 2021 playoffs put up 29.8 ppg, 11.6 boards and 5 assists. In 2022 playoffs he put up 31 ppg, 13.2  boards and 5.8 assists. This year he’s 30.5-13-10 and going to win a title. But previously he  got annihilated by the suns in a four-game sweep in 2021 and then the following year lost 4 to 1 to the Warriors.

the difference between Jokić winning a title this year and not winning a title (frankly not being all that close the last two years) is Murray’s emergence as his Robin. Murray becoming the second star to Jokic has helped elevated them to a championship team. Also allowed guys like AG, KCP and Porter to play their roles better. (also made good moves likely acquiring Bruce brown and KCP while getting rid of Monte, Barton and only 6 mil off cap space).

Not that they are as good as Jordan and Pippen, but Jokić needed Murray to get the nuggets to this next level just like Jordan needed Pippen to finally break through and win a ring. Without pippen and murray, Jordan and jokic have really great numbers/stats and still are some of the best players we’ve ever seen. And not taking anything away from Jordan or Jokić, because they are great all-time players and maybe they would’ve eventually won titles anyway without murray and pippen (we’ll never know) but imo without pippen and murray becoming that second star and arriving they more likely just have great numbers/stats every postseason and potentially no rings or much much less of them.

Jokic is obviously better than Embiid.  But onto just the sixers in general, besides embiid needing to clearly be better in the playoffs and figure out a way to stay healthy is the Sixers haven’t found their Jamal murray (I’d also argue roster fits really aren’t great. It’s why i really didn’t think most of the year they’d beat Milwaukee or Boston). James Harden can’t do it often enough at his age and frankly choked anyway. Tyrese Maxey‘s not there yet and might never get there. Imo I don’t think he’s going to be as good as a Murray. Ben Simmons never did it. And the one time they have that type of player in  Butler and they let him walk. i tend think they are unlikely to find their second star and eventually embiid is traded.

This game has made a WNBA game look entertaining...holy crap, just call it a draw and make them go to 8 games if necessary.
