Double from what? Some projection? That’s not a real number.25 wins to 48 wins. Almost double

Are they better than Memphis Suns or Warriors? I don’t think so. MPJ is incredibly overrated and he’s always going to be hurt. That’s why he slid to Denver. They gambled. They’ve had mixed results. So best case scenario they’re a 4. I’m not convinced they’re better than the Mavs either with that group.How many in this thread truly think had Murray & MPJ been healthy this season the Nuggets would have only gotten a 6 seed?
Playing a lesser schedule.
Nuggets vs .500 or better 20-23
Sixers vs . 500 or better 26-22
Sixers tied for 2Nd best record in the deeper East while Denver was the 6 seed in the top heavy West.

And that’s why I referred to it as the top heavy West.West had 4 teams with a better record or better than the 3 teams at #2 in the East.

I don’t think that makes them better than the Mavs Suns Warriors or Grizzlies. Jokic didn’t have to play a regular season game with pressure all season. They were counted out and not supposed to do anything. They went like 3-1 vs the Warriors and in all 3 wins caught them without Draymond. It’s a different story when you’re a name team or you rank highly in the standings. Add Murray and MPJ and Denver is still not a good defensive team and Jokic is still getting hunted in a playoff series.You don't think having those 2 players back gives them 5 more wins lol?
He lost because NBA media is a joke that doesn’t watch games. Everything I said for months was shown in his playoff series. He is a liability defensively. He can’t move. He’s slow AF. He got hunted and he got cooked in two straight playoff series. I don’t know what to tell you dude. I was right and if you watched that Warriors Denver series and you had any integrity you’d be saying you know what Fightin funbags you were completely right on this guy being a fraction of what Embiid is defensively and he’s a liability for his team at the defensive end. You’d be saying that if you had integrity. But it bothers you that I know what I’m talking about and called that shot a month before it actually played out.Well you've also convinced yourself that Jokic is fat & sloppy & the only stat that matters is points per game. And that's being a biased homer.
I'm actually surprised Jokic repeated as MVP. I thought Embiid leading the league in scoring would have been enough for him to win. But I have to wonder if him crying to the media that nobody likes him changed the opinions of some voters.
empty stats that lead to 48 wins and the 6th seed without the 2nd and 3rd best players?There's always a player that puts up extra empty stats when the other players on his team are too weak to do it themselves. There's nothing valuable about putting up stats on a team that has no shot to win in the playoffs.
No. Embiid's team lost every playoff game without him.First of all, regular season award. Second of all, proof positive that Embiid had more help, right?
Just like Michael Carter Williams. ROY!!! Wow I can't wait for his tremendous career! He did so much while there was no one else out there to do anything.empty stats that lead to 48 wins and the 6th seed without the 2nd and 3rd best players?
I can agree with that, especially about MPJ, but Murray would have been a huge help.Are they better than Memphis Suns or Warriors? I don’t think so. MPJ is incredibly overrated and he’s always going to be hurt. That’s why he slid to Denver. They gambled. They’ve had mixed results. So best case scenario they’re a 4.

Cannot say I know what MCW did as a rookie and who he beat out.Just like Michael Carter Williams. ROY!!! Wow I can't wait for his tremendous career! He did so much while there was no one else out there to do anything.
It doesn't matter. He didn't get the stats again because they were fucking empty. It was the situation around him, not him.Cannot say I know what MCW did as a rookie and who he beat out.
But, to me, empty stats is more like when you do things that don't really even help your team win games....like maybe you score a bunch of points, but do so taking a bunch of shots and only making, say, 40-42% of them?
If his stats help his team win games how were they empty? Plenty of teams with PGs who are not very good but the center is not a 500+ assists guy.It doesn't matter. He didn't get the stats again because they were fucking empty. It was the situation around him, not him.

Exactly. The people who vote on these awards don’t watch games. They just read box scores and formulas. Both guys are elite offensive players in different ways. The vast discrepancy comes on the defensive end. NBA media types don’t value the defensive end when it comes to this award. That’s why we now live in a world where Joker has two times as many MVPs as Shaq Kobe and KD. They’ve made a farce of this stuff. All you need to do is see that 3 out of every 4 players and former players who have commented on this say Embiid is their MVP.You put their stats up next to each other and it is damn near impossible to vote for the center who shoots under 50% and gets 4 assists per game and the center who shoots 58% and gets 8 assists per game.
That is just reality.
Yes, the stat dildos loved MCW's rebounding lol.If his stats help his team win games how were they empty? Plenty of teams with PGs who are not very good but the center is not a 500+ assists guy.
