What's with the obsession with playing in Denver? They're not even a top 5 home court. Strange?

Also, Wemby is in the western conference. Spurs play IN Denver twice as much as the Sixers do each season...

Denver is the hardest place to play in the NBA. My first trip to denver I would just randomly fall asleep for 30 minutes, that elevation is so brutal.

Embiid is smart to avoid Jokic there

Insane cope.

A simple Google search/ask ai whatever you want to do will tell you Denver is hardest place to play

So Jokic needs a clear advantage like that to stand a chance vs Embiid? He can't handle him on equal playing field?

Kinda proves my point.

I would've loved to have seen a healthy Yao Ming vs. Wemby. What could've been for Yao Ming. Career cut way too short.

2009 NBA Playoffs still hurts me. Rockets took the Lakers a full 7 games in the second round. No Tracy McGrady at all.
Yao Ming didn't play after Game 3 in that series. Dikembe Mutombo had broken his leg in the first round vs. Portland.

I still remember the Game 1 Rockets win at Los Angeles in the 2009 playoffs. Yao came up clutch that game even after he had gotten hurt.

The Houston Rockets, decimated by injuries, were the only team that took the champion Lakers all seven games in the playoffs that year.



We could be two weeks away from another Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers playoff series. Would add to the great history between them.

?
Embiid doesn't play in denver so he doesn't get your imaginary advantage lmao

Jokic plays in Denver so he's used to the air. You're saying that's the only way he'd stand a chance at stopping Embiid from dropping a 40 burger on his head per usual?

crazy stat hasnt embiid not played there since like 2019?

Been a while considering they only play there once a year. And he misses games before and after, its not like its just Denver lol
