Jokic against Philly :

23/11/8 on 56% shooting

Embiid against Denver :

26/10/4 on 46% shooting


10% higher shooting and double the assists. 🤣🤣🤣


And most importantly 6-2

And over the last 3 years when Embiid hit his peak? Ohhhh Embiid feasted. I think 40+ in their last two matchups? 😬

Jokic strokers aka Swifties are big mad that the league caught on to how overrated he is. Amazing offensive player (until he disappears in game 7) but cant protect the rim to save his life and isn't in shape to make it a full game 7. He gets TARGETED on defense. Those Westbrook i mean Jokic triple doubles aren't as impressive anymore

He can sit at home and watch SGA raise the trophy (both MVP and the championship). Maybe work himself into shape and play the other half of the game.

Anyways....I like how this has become an Embiid thread. The deflect is craaaaazy but Embiid lives rent free in their head.

Jokic strokers will attack anyone but their sloth game 7 choker. Its always everyone else's fault but his. :rofl:

Regular season MVP
Finals MVP

and only 2 men have ever done it back to back and with SGA still getting better he could easily do it again next season

We are watching one of the greatest players of all time emerge

Only place Embiid lives rent free is the hospital.

Well they only ply once a year in Denver and Embiid missed lots of games before and after those games. So that throws the whole "ducking Denver" theory out the window.

But home court advantage cant make up for the 41/7/10 on 60% FG that Embiid dropped in their last matchup. Or the 47/18/5 on 58% FG that he dropped in the matchup before that?

Embiid only plays Jokic at home since 2019 and he doesn’t play on a b2b if it’s a marque matchup. These are facts

Jokic plays more b2bs and road games against marque matchups

We are literally talking about a player who blamed Jokic's home court advantage due to gravity and altitude lmao

But why is a thread about SGA being derailed into an Embiid thread .


on top of that Embiids issue has never been skill talent or ability, it's health , a healthy Embiid is a pipe dream and always has been ( I told Sean this when they drafted him ) but if you look at his MVP season he was absolutely dominant.
The reason Jokic > Embiid is because he's healthier , and a better teammate - not because he's on another talent level- there are some things Jokic does better and some Embiid does better, but they are both 2 of the most talented big men to ever play the game , Embiid is just made of glass and has a soft as baby shit mentality
