    What’s even more amazing is that Embiid was 1-6 after the 1st quarter. He shot 16-19 the rest of the game. Unreal.

  2. But but pistons wizards hornets man🥺🥺🥺

  3. I was told he can only score against trash teams.

  4. Love him or hate him you have to admit he’s the MVP front runner right now and it’s really not close

  5. lumberfun

    Another game stat padding against the wizards 🥱🥱

    Fr I’m praying Embiid goes nuclear in the playoffs and shuts all his haters up

  6. lilshawnyy420

    remember the comments on the post on monday 😭😭😭😭 outrageous

  7. IronicHours

    50 piece against the best record in the league with the DPOTY favourite.

    Not bad for Pistons Wizards man

  8. sergechewbacca

    He’ll be MVP and it might be unanimous if he keeps this up.

  9. MatCauthonsHat

    Didn’t he start 1-6 from the field in the be first?

    Goes 16-19 the rest of the way?

  10. RayCashhhh

    I thought he only scored against bad teams 🤔

  11. Big-Beta20

    Yeah, let’s seem him do it against the 0th ranked defense though…

    Not convinced

  12. Wentzsylvania13

    Wizards/Pistons merchant am i right fellas??

  13. OcksBodega

    51 free throws against the wizards doesn’t move me 🥱

  14. this sub throws a collective tantrum every Embiid game

    when will it stop 💔

  15. Izanagi___

    I will never understand the “only plays bad teams” narrative. Good scorers will always be a bucket. Same people would be clowning him if he put up tour dates against these teams too lol

  16. bulldozer_rob

    He started 1-6. 16-19 from the second quarter onward. My god

  17. ThrowRAlandry

    17-25 FG, his midrange game is just buttery, and he stayed aggressive vs an elite defense.

  18. Due_Education2961

    Smh this bum Embiid stat padding and playing in the 4th 🤦‍♂️, couldn’t get 51 in the 3rd QT

  19. H-TownDown

    Appreciate Embiid while he still has his powers. Once he starts declining, you’ll wish you appreciated him when he could do things like this.

  20. Never-Wrong-NFL-Guy

    Yea but take away all his free throws and he’s only got 34. Anyone can get 34 on the best defense in the league >!right?!<

  21. MetroToven

    Did that clown delete that Embiid 1st quarter stats post here? Still shot 68% from the field against a DPOTY candidate. Foul merchant take is done by people who don’t know ball.

  23. Theballharperhit

    Embiid shot 1-6 just so someone would make a dumb thread after the first LMFAO

  24. He’s damn good but man he does not need the amount of help he gets from the refs. Still an awesome performance. Sucks because the refs completely influenced how the Wolves could play defense 4 minutes into the game getting all their bigs in foul trouble on pretty much nothing calls. But again, props to Embiid he was great. Maxey too.

  25. hardyharah

    I used to be the biggest Joel embiid hater. Now I’m just a hater that recognizes his talent.

  26. HalfTreant

    A center getting 51 points against a defense anchored with Rudy Gobert. Damn

  27. I thought he was statpadding against G-League teams?

    What do you mean the #1 Defense did even worse than 4/5 of those teams? What do you mean the scoring scaled nicely into the 4th quarter? I thought he was terrible?

    Go fuck yourselves r/nba Joel Embiid is the best player alive

  28. What’s wrong with y’all, a missed dunk has more upvotes than this masterpiece lol
