M.V.P IS EMBEAST
Embiid is a disgusting human being. Constantly whining, tearing other people down, and relentlessly lobbing for himself without a word of recognition or praise for anyone else and obsessed with trophies. The kind of person that decent and real people have no respect for at all. But he's been great on court recently. Jokic has clearly just quit playing. I think mostly out of disgust for the whole MVP and ring culture sewer that Embiid swims in and drinks every day. Embiid is perfect for the grotesque media that elevate obsessive, childish as-holes
And these two say that the mvp doesn't matter to them, its only about the chip. Yet they are literally the ones who talk about it most.
Joker lost to the rockets with 14 pts 8 turnovers. He folded like clean laundry… MVP is the EMBIIDS
Even though he ducked Jokic in Denver? SMH
Giannis notched a 28pt triple double tonight. The only people who scored tonight on Philly were Embiid and Harden. Does one become MVP because the rest of your team is trash?
Ask him why is Niang playing? What does he do?
Doc, is he the MVP because all you do is put the ball in Embiid's & Harden's hand? This team played better when Embiid & Harden are out. This statpadded 50pt game when the rest of your team put up the same amount of shots as Embiid combined. It's a mockery to the game of basketball and a sinister attempt to lock up an individual award. This club does not play championship basketball, just a regular season team always crying for their star to get the MVP which he bottles every season along with the post-season.
No thanks
Most Overrated NBA coach of ALL time period
I hate the 76ers.
Embiid went 20/25 smh Jesus Christ
Shout out to doc for going to bat for his guy
give the man his pity trophy he deserves it 😭
How when he ducked a match against Jokic and lost to giannis
Doc sorry for you, but Jokic will be MVP.
All this for them to flame out in the playoffs like usual
"know that the celtics flop" the whole league does
Coach of the year
Bull! has was to prove it… Get the Ring.
Coach Harden won us this game…
Yeah never mind that he got smacked by Giannis and didn't play against Jokic, and never mind that Jokic produces more and has his team playing better
with 3 games left in the season, what can either candidate do to take it away from embiid?
Ain’t none gonna talk about Embiid being destroyed by the Greek freak and Embiid ducking the joker what MVP is that???
Definitely over
After the Superbowl Philly is just desperate for a win and the MVP for Joel is the closest they'll get. Giannis, Jokic and the voters be like "Let's give it to the bleeding hearts out of Pity." Like Philly, Doc needs a win too for relevance sake.
You're lucky to have embiid, he's saving ur job.
Even as a bucks fan I want embiid to win it and he deserves to
Celtics is really great solid team without brown Williams Jason Tatum had off night still have chance to win I'm big fan philly76ers but I don't think we gone beat celtics in playoffs as long harris pj Tucker in line up of course this guy doc river gone choke again celtics beat bucks 2 games this season by 40 points especially last week game healthy hot bucks celtics defeat 40 points celtics no worry bucks only team can defeat is philly76ers if doc choke benchs harris and pj Tucker give more PT D melton shake milton jalen mc Daniel even new veteran center dedmon his hustler great rebounder can block pj Tucker can't rebounds or block is too small Reed is better then him always fouls trouble refs don't like him
Embiid cooked
Doc will take the blame if they get bounced but honestly this roster just won’t cut it. They make bonehead mistakes & cant assert themselves offensively outside of Big Fella.
Joel dodged the Denver game, just saying.
Does anybody know why James Harden refused to let Tobias Harris inbound the ball with 1 minute left (When Maxey he got trapped in the corner)? That started the entire crazy sequence! Had Tobias Harris inbounded the ball to James Harden he would have been fouled, and probably would have made his free throws. The game never would have never have came down to all that madness, they were up 5 at the time.
The Narrative of what MVP definition should be is truly corrupted you want evidence of that look at MVPs given to Russel Westbrook. Is a MVP stand for best offensive player, most stat padding player or Most Valuable Player to their respective TEAM out of the other TEAMs in the league!!! To me that candidate should be a leader that finds ways to win offensively and defensively even when they can not be a bucket getter because teams are loading up on him!
even lagranny scored 50 so no big deal. fail
Only if Joel can make plays without being a TO machine. They barely won with Jalen not playing
It should have been over previous game, to Giannis
BUT HE NEVER BEAT GIANNIS SO WE DONT CARE !!!!!!
