    I am just here for the always civil Jokic/Embiid MVP debates.

  2. jeric13xd

    Nuggets just forgot how to play basketball in the 4th. Never seen em execute that terribly before. Literally threw away the game with turnovers. GG sixers

  3. KingREX_24

    Really hoping that Embiid has a dominant playoff run this year cuz if he doesn’t the slander will be insufferable, he’s such a talented player.

  4. DjLionOrder

    Man three things tonight:

    – Tobias Harris in a contract year is a star.

    – For the love of god Philly, box the fuck out.

    – if Joel’s jump shooting holds, this Philly team is a boba fide finals contender on par with any team. Unstoppable.

    What a great fucking game. 7 games of this in the Finals please

  5. swhos

    From 8:41 to :41 in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets scored 4 points. Both baskets were made by Jokic.

  6. GGezpzMuppy

    Jokic and Embiid battle will go down in history and they are gonna be linked forever.

  8. Alex_Phillips_

    I hadn’t listened to SVG in a while but boy did I forget how much garbage this dude spews. Bro is a hall of fame yapper.

  9. tito-ortiz-wife69

    Great game but Svg shouldn’t be allowed on sixers games if he’s just gonna hate the whole game

  11. Own_Beautiful4827

    And in the End they are all friends, 🥲 beautiful

  12. grudgepacker

    Respect to Philly for protecting their home court all game like this off a b2b

  14. Lampdoor96

    All love between Jokic and Embiid yet we still gotta be toxic to each other’s fan bases like these guys actually hate each other

  15. Whofreak

    I think both played good. Embiid played better. Gg Sixers

  16. jacobythefirst

    Awww Embiid and Jokic cutting it up after the game was cute

    I want them to hold hands

  19. notafan1

    Probably the worst passing game from Jokic I’ve seen in some time.

  20. rexfloyd94

    man fuck all you posting embiid lowlights i love watching this motherfucker play

    Great game Nuggets fans, almost always seems to be. Looking forward to the next one.

  21. Flaky_Dentist_5945

    Can’t believe Embiid tried so hard. Embarrassing to care about basketball

  22. aronrodge

    Embiid is such a ridiculous player. I’m convinced the people who hate him watch basketball through Reddit and Twitter.

  23. KyrieLS777

    Don’t wanna hear any of that ducking shit today. Embiid showed up & showed out!

  24. dRide12

    A 7 game series with these 2 teams would be a spectacle and if anyone says otherwise, they’re fucking liars

  25. Pkock

    Best part of the game was in the 4th when Embiid and Joker briefly just looked like tired fat boys for 3 possessions and agreed to chuck 3 pointers while they got breathers.

  26. Adiwantstobattle

    As a neutral, match did not disappoint. Jokic and Embiid are easily my favorite players to watch outside of my own team.

  27. americanbeaver

    Tobias Harris came up huge in that 4th quarter stretch with Embiid on the bench. A 17 point 4th quarter is just not going to get the job done for the Nuggets. Sixers with the rest disadvantage manage to outlast the offensive barrage in the 1st half and keep on chugging along.

  29. DomDomRevolution

    I think fans on both sides can agree on two things. 1. That game was entertaining as hell and we all deserve part 2 in Denver. 2. Stan Van Gundy should never commentate on one of these games ever again. What the fuck was that 10 minute rant about.

  30. Cute-Contract-6762

    Incredible game. A 6ers Nuggies final would be transcendent

  31. VexoftheVex

    Embiid amazing – respect from a Nuggets fan, his shot-making is wonderful to watch

    Still, simply can’t go as cold in the 4th as we did if you want to win a game – nor can you keep turning the ball over in crucial moments

    On the other hand, that’s why the season is 82 games – to iron these things out. Some worrying trends developing about this team, but still overall playing very well

  32. -Sticks_and_Stones-

    That was a GREAT game. Wish it ended differently but that was fun to watch.

  33. Anoki12

    Being an Arsenal and Eagles fan, this game healed my soul.

  34. TrimmedAndBurning

    Embiid just called Jokic the best player in the league but this sub will pretend he’s in his feelings about shit.

  35. When_Angels_Cry

    Embiid showing off his passing when the game is on TNT is big brain. Ggs Nuggets. Very entertaining ING game from both squads.

    Love that Embiid and Jokic actually like and respect each other’s games.

  36. thehydrastation

    I will always love that Embiid and Jokic are seemingly the only two people on earth with no interest in the “who’s better?” debate

  37. alex_song

    This was my first time watching Embiid, and I have to ask, is there another Embiid in the league that I’m not aware of???

    Because this sub has been telling me for years that “Embiid” only scores through foul baiting and this Embiid that I watched tonight was scoring in ways I never thought a center would score lmao.

    Seriously, is this sub referring to another Embiid when they talk about him or have they been lying about his abilities this whole time?

  38. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Jamal Murray hero ball is so garbage to watch

  39. Elegant-Witness-4723

    Basketball fans won tonight. Two best players in the league fucking stuffed the stat sheet.

  40. scrufftheo

    can we talk about SVG’s 5 minute rant about Embiid in the middle of the 3rd? seems pretty unprofessional and unnecessary to be trashing the MVP, who was having a decent game, in the middle of the game

  41. augustus624

    I actually like SVG but got damn, that 3rd quarter rant he was going on against Embiid sounded like an r/nba thread. Even all the Embiid haters in the game thread were like “yo bro, chill. wtf” lmao
