My favorite thing about these moves is if you try them against non basketball players they don't bite at all and do a better job of defense than bball players 😂
There have only been 2 instances of the NBA scoring leader making the playoffs and being outside the top 10 in ppg. Joel Embiid in 2022 and Joel Embiid in 2023. Biggest playoff dropper in NBA history.
@dnvrnugs
In pickup games I would say the average person probably doesn't have a great jump shot so this is pretty viable. I like to make them shoot a few long ones to start so I can evaluate how I should defend them 😂
How many categories does each of the top 3 mvp candidates lead in?
Embiid: 2 (pts, ft%)
Giannis: 3 (win%, reb, drtg)
Jokic: 12 (mins, ast, 2p%, 3p%, ts%, ortg, net, raptor, epm, epm-wins, bpm, lebron)
The game is in Miami. Miami is the 5 seed. This is the 4th road game against a playoff team that Embiid will duck this year. He does remember that there's a minimum game requirement now to get mvp?
Since the last time they posted the mvp standings, Jokic is averaging
29-14-12, 2 stocks, 2 turnovers, +6
Embiid played one game against the 3-17 wizards and ducked Boston. This is so unserious 🙄
If the Nuggets are just gonna fuck around and waste Jokic's prime, we should just trade him for 10 1sts and let him get some more rings on a serious franchise
I just realized how insane the Nuggets offense is in the playoffs so far:
Jokic - 20 ppg on 57/50/58
Jamal - 27 ppg on 48/42/87
MPJ - 20 ppg on 54/50/71
AG - 13 ppg on 52/50/90
KCP - 12 ppg on 45/43/75
Need to work on fts, but the 3p shooting has been crazy. Check AG out 👀
Hm.
I prefer my MVPs to just beat their opponents. Which really, when you think about it, is what the "value" in "most valuable" player actually means. You do you, though.
But just to help you sort things through:

I don't have a problem with Giannis getting 32 fta if he deserved them. What I have a problem with is Jokic looks like he got attacked by a cat and will have 3 fta and if he argues he gets ejected. Why is he the only star who doesn't get the same calls?
Absolutely no surprise that Embiid is ducking a good team on the road. It's like clockwork at this point. I've never seen a player avoid tough matchups as much as Embiid.
@jondeer13688105
He had a pretty weak roster and averaged a triple double. His seed wasn't high, but he was incredible to take that team to 47-35 and only missed 2 games

@FTFonFS1
Yeah you can. If one team is extremely balanced and the other is a one man wrecking crew, the one guy carrying his team's ass off is by far the most valuable player
@WhiteflagFever
Supposedly once you get over 2 minutes it becomes more mental than muscle. That's what the guy who holds the record for a 9 and a half hour plank said.
The NBA's MVP loses game 6 at home up 3-2 and leads his team to only scoring 86 points 😬
My MVP wins game 6 on the road up 3-2 and leads the team to a 125 point blowout with a 30 point triple double 👑
I'm glad I'm a Nuggets fan!!!

Most white people weren't even in the US until after slavery. Obviously there is systemic racism which white people benefit from, but the majority of white people in America did not benefit directly from slavery
@jspooky420
Jokic married a woman he actually loves and treats him right. Very few NBA players are with women they actually love. You have to respect how great of a husband and father he is. He's overall a much better person than Embiid on and off the court.

Almost like some people have to work night shifts or multiple jobs to afford their kids. That's who these programs are designed for.
According to 538:
Celtics make finals: 38%
Nuggets make finals: 30%
Nuggets play Celtics: 11.4%
Bruins make finals: 50%
Avs make finals: 34%
Avs play Bruins: 17%
That means the odds both Denver teams play both Boston teams is: 1.938% Pretty interesting imo

Embiid the last week:
Lost 3 of the last 4
Defense exploited in the clutch in 2
Blown out by the suns
Harden is better
Jokic the last week:
Won 3 of the last 4
Beat 2 ec playoffs teams
Blew out bucks
Jokic back in his groove
The narrative has shifted.
I'm glad everyone universally agrees this is the worst commercial ever made. I've seen this commercial 100+ times. I don't even remember what they're advertising
Jokic is currently the best offensive player in the playoffs by a massive margin and pretty much tied for top 3 in defense. Jokic is legit on track to be the goat
I've taken a lucky bong rip before every nuggets game except the last one bc I was too sick to. I also didn't wear my lucky socks bc I was so sick and forgot to wash them. I'll be bringing the luck back tomorrow so don't worry guys
