Going to be bold and say Bucks in six. Bulls fans tend to travel well and I think they steal one in Milwaukee…

As a Bulls fan this is the worst possible first round matchup we could of got. We could of stole a series from anyone else in the east but the Bucks have destroyed us this year.

I think Bulls would have been able to steal A Game vs Boston or Philly. Every top 4 team in the NBA this year lit up the Bulls,

Any truth to the rumor that Embiid has said if the 76ers don't win in 5 the refs don't like him?

Yep. I also heard that KD is mocking Celtics fans who have Jokic’s balls in their mouth.

Nobody has overly pimped-up Embiid like you have this season.

And his balls are resting firmly on your chin. You 76ers super-homer.

If he doesn't win MVP your meltdown will be epically funny.

And always remember Embiid's a bitch for crying to the media like he did.

If any other player in the league did what he did you'd make fun of that player all the time. But since you're a 76ers fan you choose to ignore it.

His injury history and his crying to the media now define his career.

The Process is a crybaby.

Where ya been? It’s over. Jokic is MVP. Embiid won the one that wasn’t a popularity contest, the one they can’t take from him, the scoring title. He did exactly what they said he didn’t do last year and he got even better and they’re still screwing the guy. Don’t ask me. Just ask KD. The players know what’s what. You side with Bill Fucking Simmons and I’ll pay attention to what the players say.

And KD doesn’t even like Embiid

Sounds like Embiid needs to quit being such an asshole.

No doubt! The key to winning mvp is stroking the egos of the Ringer and the Zack Lowe podcast.

I think Philly fans are a bad influence. He should demand a trade to the Lakers. That will make him more likeable and he'll get his MVP.

I don’t know if the Sixers can make the salaries work. Do you think THT would be willing to rip up the existing contract and do a sign and trade to match Embiid’s salary?

I just realized what thread we’re doing this in but then also…I don’t really GAF because we don’t have any Bulls or Bucks regulars so Fuck them ha.

Shit the MVP trophy has been handed out? When did I miss that?

The scoring title for Embiid is great, especially considering he's a C. But there you go again only focusing on his scoring average. So I'll say this.

Jokic created a new stat. The 2,000 pt / 1,000 reb / 500 asts club. He led the league in double-double's. He led the league in trip-dubs. And I think he set the single season PER record.

And how can I be siding with what Simmons said when I've been saying for weeks now that all the stats you ignore will play a role in who wins MVP this season? And have you seen me outright say Jokic will win? No I haven't.

Already said I think Embiid wins because the 76ers finished with a better record. And now they have a better playoff seed.

But you go ahead and side with KD. The same fella that created fake social media accounts to defend himself. And lashed out a poor kid on social media over a bad basketball move.

If Embiid doesn't win it's because Jokic had a historic season compared to Embiid's great season.

People have posted their ballots on Twitter. You know the Giants of basketball like Lisa Hsu and of course the three identical ballots Bill Simmons made everyone at the Ringer cast. Pay attention man. It’s over. You know what’s coming next? They’re gonna put Embiid on the 2nd team All NBA. At this point, all they’re doing is making a mockery of these awards. Any All NBA team that doesn’t have Embiid on the first team is worthless but watch. It’s gonna happen.

Did you read this Tweet thread I linked the other day? Eye opening. These stats you’re using to call this an “historic” season are completely slanted to the way Jokic plays basketball and penalizes the way Embiid plays and yet Embiid is right on his heels with many of these metrics despite them being slanted against the way he plays. You can take the pencil sharpening, pocket protector wearing math problems of nerds and I’ll go by what the players say.
