Yeah....My statement still stands

Jokic had Murray who has been 10x the postseason player than anyone Embiid has ever played with (aside from Maxey first round last season). And it's not even CLOSE. Murray has gone off in the playoffs numerous times throughout the years.



During their championship run in 2023, Murray in the postseason averaged 27/7/6 on 47/40/93 shooting.

His previous playoff run prior to that with Denver? 2020 when they made the WCF's. In the playoffs he averaged 27/6/5 on an absurd 51/45/90 shooting efficiency.

Ben Simmons, James Harden, Paul George (lol wat playoffs), and Jimmy Butler didn't sniff that kind of production in a postseason run. Ever.

Butler had a 37 ppg series on like 63% TS as the #1 option with elite defense

FOH Pangolin

Nowhere near that in his half a season in Philly. With the Sixers in the playoffs he averaged under 20 PPG and shot horribly from 3pt.

Again, Murray has had playoff runs where he's a bonfire superstar. He doesn't rack up regular season accolades, but he has had seasons where he turns it on big time in the playoffs.

Dude you’re not convincing anyone here that Murray is a better talent than Harden or Butler in a nutshell.

Say whatever you want about Simmons, but fumbling a 2nd rd series to the Atlanta Hawks is a choke on par with the Cavs against the Pacers. At least Haliburton can be hidden on defense unlike Trae Young… the Pacers this year are also deep as hell with switchable 3 pt shooters. That Hawks team was weak. Proven by the fact they folded to a Bucks team with Giannis out

Who cares about "talent"? Nobody is arguing talent. I'm arguing better postseason performer. Murray is a far superior postseason player than Harden and even Butler (the one season he had in Philly). This isn't even arguable. I already explained why, and his absurd postseason numbers during multiple postseason runs says enough. Harden and Butler never did that in Philly, not even close....and neither did Simmons but we already know that.

And the 2nd round series they lost to the Hawks? Embiid averaged 31/13/4 that series to go along with 2 blocks and 1 steal per game while getting double and triple teamed the entire series. We really gonna blame him while Ben Simmons was out there running laps doing nothing? 😂

Jokic averaged 28/14/6 on 59% TS against a way better team and his top guys playing injured, so what are we doing here?

This Thunder team shits on the 2020-21 Hawks. The Hawks were like 10th overall that season based on SRS and net rating. This Thunder team is far and away #1

Who the fuck was comparing that Hawks team to this Thunder team??????

You're shifting goal posts at record pace here. Hard to keep up.

Embiid choked against a bum team in 7

Jokic lost to the #1 team in the league in 7

Does that clear it up?
