We gonna ignore the fact that Embiid tried to cherry pick a stat padding opportunity in Phoenix with Ayton and Durant out only to get clapped by Bismack Biyombo of all people
Lets just ignore the fact that Embiid has played in Utah/Denver 30% of the possible times in his career (5/14)
Most Embiid hardcore stans can at least admit to the fact that Embiid is ducking Jokic, even Perkins admitted it
Serious question...why would Embiid duck Jokic???? Lol
Nuggets have a mediocre defense (15th in Defensive rating) and they have the worst rim protection defense in the league (teams shoot over 71% at the rim vs them).
In their h2h matchup earlier this season, Embiid dropped 47 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 58% FG (4-7 3PT). He also hit the game sealing three over Jokic, right in his face.
What is there to duck? That's an easy 40+ point game against a shit defender like Jokic.
