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

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. 

 

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

Joel can't take this team to 48 wins

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.

you can try to justify jokic all you want, embiid is the rightful MVP. you and a bunch of ray romano's are the only ones that disagree.

I don't need to justify anything. Jokic did more for his team with less talent around him and  that really isn't a debate.

I'm glad you finally spelled his name right though.

Just presenting a counter that Jokic has a legit case for MVP and will ultimately win it.

Which nobody is disputing. He has a legit argument, and he will win it. Just all of us realize he should be 2nd or 3rd. I'd go: Embiid, Giannis, Jokic.

So humble as always...

I just wish KD and Kyrie were there so we could see the facial reactions to Ben referring to himself as a "floor general".  Yeah...this softy is KD's "general."

Embiid to get a MRI on his thumb.

3rd major injury of the NBA playoffs, time to shorten the season to 72 games. 

 

 

I think jokic wins the mvp.

But i also think the 48 win thing is because 7 teams in the west are just really bad. That’s half the conference. In the east 10 teams finished over .500. There’s only 5 teams below .500. West had 8. I think the top 3 in the west are finals teams prior to the playoffs. Mavs with luka is fringe. I think Miami, Philly, nets, Boston and bucks (before middleton injury) were. I’d argue if you moved the nuggets to the eastern conference this year, i dont believe they win 48 games. I think they are closer to 43-44. I also think the top 7 teams besides Toronto are better than the nuggets. 

 

welp

He also thinks Le**** is better than Jordan. Case closed. 

Possible torn ligament in Joel’s thumb. 

Yikes.  Awful news
