How to win the MVP award Joel?
You should ask Nikola last week in Denver 🤭😁🤟
Boston is too small for him and they didn't double him once. Still don't believe in the 76ers in playoffs.
Still ducked the fade in Denver though

On nights like this he makes it look like he is playing nerfball against 6th graders.
Man gives off the impression that he is a lumbering big… but he is deceptively quick for a 7 footer.
Boston was badly robbed by the referees! Anyone who played against Philly was robbed by the refs! Their wins are fake and Embiid is a fake player! This league is a CIRCUS and if I were a player I would be pack my bags and go to Europe to play serious basketball! Any slight contact with this FAKE player is called a foul, while he beats people whenever and however he wants on the court and deserves 20 fouls per game, which are not awarded to him. The statistics of the fake player are inflated and everyone is helping him with all their might, i.e. the referees who judge and turn a blind eye to Embiid, while they blindly let Jokic be beaten badly by the Embiid's black brothers (black players from all teams), then the entire NBA organization helps him, black players help and go easy on their black brother Embiid, while in the same time they beat Jokić in a hard-core style, then the media runs a dirty campaign for him, big and rich corporations and businesses monitore and finance all this, and yet it can't help him, because every honest person on this planet knows in his heart who the real MVP is! If they commit an injustice and put that trophy in the hands of a FAKE MVP, it will haunt them for the rest of their lives and they will all be branded as frauds for the rest of their lives! If they give that trophy to this fake player, the already bad reputation of this CIRCUS league will be even worse and no one will be able to repair that damage for the league! If they put that trophy in the hands of this fake player, it will be the final downfall of this circus league, from which they will never recover!
Emflop will flop his way out of 2nd round again
James Harden and offcial explanation and support to do whatever he wants: 'One of those is the lack of calling the palming/carrying violation. The reason for this is quite simple; the NBA does not want to slow the game down. The league wants a fast-paced, action-packed game, because that is what is most entertaining for fans.'
CIRCUS LEAGUE!
Grant Williams is an elite defender in the nba and Joel made him look like some random high school player was guarding him 🤣
This is how the Sixers should play every night. Just give Joel the ball at the high post and every other sixer positioned beyond the 3 point line. Joel should Get 25 to 35 attempts every game.
Embiid is the MVP, it would be cool to see him win the chip.
The Cookie Monster. He’s taking everybody’s cookies.
MVPIID: half our points while shooting 80% from field. Absurd x
Embiid is the best center offensive and defensive, for me he is the MVP of the season. no disrespect to Jokic and Giannis
He didnt just get 50plus he did it against the second best team in the leauge behind the bucks
Jokic is the certified MVP, this cemented Embiid for 2nd
Never seen people publicly campaign so hard for someone to get a MVP. They hate that white guys are the best players in the league.

Joel really thought he was kobe last night tf
