And yes by you saying he shouldn't be in the conversation for MVP is a terrible take.

At least you made a statement without lying.  Congrats.

I'm fouling him every possession when he first steps on the court if Nets are in the bonus.

I said that a bunch of posts ago so totally agree......let's see how Durant and Irving feel being made completely irrelevant in a game watching as Ben bricks free throws.

More likely then not that he suffers some sort of setback and can’t play

Yes, so he can score zero points in the 4th quarter and give up a dunk to pass that would put them in the lead and gain momentum!!  Besides bricking half his free throws!  The second he walks on the court, if I'm Boston.....Hack a Ben begins.

See 🙂

 

Just checking in.  I understand Doc gets a lot of heat around these parts but last night’s win was (at least) in part to his coaching; calling the TO at the exact right moment.  Kudos to Doc, job well done.

Points per game doesn't equate to MVP. 

Correct.  MVP means "Most valuable player”.   How many wins does this team have without Joel Embiid?.

Or even a better question: How many MORE wins would most teams have with Embiid on the roster?

You mean win share or WAR, wins above replacement?

No.

I couldn’t care less about metrics. (All due respect).  Metrics can’t evaluate what a player of Embiid’s level does for a team or another team.  Not entirely.  
 

Most teams (including the 76ers) would need to completely change their roster, etc in order to best use Embiid:  For that simple reason, metrics should not weigh heavily when evaluating a player like Embiid.

Embiid is a game - team changer.  He’s a generational talent.  
 

 

Watching the game winning shot by Embiid from the camera angle from above, Harris with an ok screen but his ability to casually extend his elbow out more and more to prevent the defender to get anywhere close to Embiid. Hell of a job by him knowing the officials in that situation are likely never going to call it.

Worked out, but man if he had been called for the foul there…

They will never call that in the moment, but what is FVT doing. Horrible defensive execution in a pretty simple play design. It was Embiid or Harris popping out. 

Green getting no one on him to block his view is Suns/Clippers dumb and Boucher with a 7'4" wingspan on the bench. 

LOL

You’re right. He’d have had them 50 wins.

speculation is always an awesome way to validate an opinion.

The funnier part is the idea that with a healthy Murray and Porter Jr., Denver would be some kind of a contender. They'd be at best 4th in the West? More likely 5th? So maybe they would beat the Mavs since Luka is hurt...woohoo.

Maxey, Harris, Curry/Harden, Green, and Drummond for 49 games vs that team and you think Embiid is more valuable to his team. 

That 2 thru 15 might be Top 5 worst rosters in the league right now.

And it's funny that you think that they wouldn't, Jamal Murray was turning into a top end off ball guard before his ACL tear. His bubble and  21 season numbers show that. 

go blow dan issel!

 

You know, I'm impressed that the EMB is so popular that Nikola Jokic seemingly posts here. You'd think an about to be 2 time NBA MVP would be too busy.
