Bucks and Sixers finished with identical records. Sixers had the background of the Simmons distraction and played most of the season without a PG and an All Star. I disagree with this assertion that Giannis was deserving than Embiid.

IMO, Maxey is a better PG than Simmons offensively. Simmons is a point forward, this point guard talk needs to stop. If you can't play the guy on the perimeter, it's pretty tough to call him a guard. If you think everyone sinks into the paint away from Russ and Rondo, that applies to Simmons even more so since he REFUSES to take that shot. Defensively, Simmons is much better of course.

Maxey isn’t a Pg and never played it at any level until this year.

Sixers/Nuggets split this year, with the Sixers winning without Embiid, but losing when he played?

hurricane is a 100% fake Nuggets fan. He's only been a "fan" for a couple of years, maybe 4 or 5 tops.

When I got to CO. 12 years ago and started following the Nuggets Melo was still playing for them.
How many teams do you have?

see if you can understand this. scoring a lot while missing a lot of shots is, in fact, not efficient. Also doesn't help much if the team isn't very good or when you are on the court and/or you lose a lot of games.

But, please continue to compare MCW with Jokic.
Let's stop beating around the bush. MCW put up gaudy rookie PG stats on an empty roster just like Jokic did at center.

But I already explained this to you.

So now you gotta big issue with me watching the Nuggets because I've been in CO. now for over a decade? I'm an NBA fan you Embiid ass-kisser and missed going to live games when I lived in the Vegas area.

It's funny how obsessed you are with me. I'm in your limited head 24/7.

And it would be great if Tatum wins MVP next season over Embiid by the smallest margin ever.

How many of your dumbass comments will it take you to say I'm "bothered" for responding to you? My guess is not many.

Jokic won MVP and Embiid didn't. Just wanted to remind you.

Why do you hate yourself? You’re always so angry. I asked an innocent question and you responded like a teenager on the rag.

Don't ever change.

You try to start things and when I don't take the bait you get angry.

Maybe someday you'll finally figure out I think you're a complete homeristic joke and get great laughs outta the butthurt nonsense you spew.

See this is what you do, and it's pathetic. You wanna try to start something. Then when I respond your 76ers underoos get all bunched up every single time.

So why say anything to me in the first place? You get pissed each time I respond.

Still pretty crazy they won 48 without Murray and MPJ.

Gordon is one of the most overrated players in the league. Other than that they have a bunch of role players and one of their best role players was a backup to Murray. If Embiid won 48 without Harden and Maxey, he wins it too but even more so Jokic broke records. You are always going to get the nod when that occurs. This Denver team is not very good without their 2 and 3. I don't think it even gets mentioned enough. I can't imagine losing a 2nd and 3rd option for the Cavs. Lebron did it without Kyrie and Love but it's Lebron. Steph can't even pull that off w/o Dray and Klay.

When I say this, I’m talking the whole process. I’m talking about giving the number 2 overall pick the MIP award. I’m saying giving Thibs coach of the year over Monty last year all because a big market team pulled their head out of their ass for once. I’m talking about back to back years Joel Embiid being the runner up for MVP and yet he’s on the 2nd team All NBA both years. These things can no longer be considered important when judging players legacies because they’ve taken a shit all over this process with narratives and agenda.

And I’m sorry, but bringing a team to a 6th seed is not the stuff to warrant a designation of most valuable. In this case, most valuable means they got 4 extra losses before tee times and family vacation. Most valuable what?
again....did so well until that last comment.

But isn’t it a regular season award? That’s what I’ve been told when I bring up the fact that in the playoffs every year Jokic gets targeted by the opponent because he’s a liability as a defender.
Of course it's a regular season award. But it's about what the player does in the regular season. If the team falls a few games short of the 1 seed I doubt that player would or should be penalized in MVP voting.

If no one knew better and only read your comments, they'd likely think Philly was a runaway 1 seed with 60+ wins and Denver scraped by to win 40.

You did and you sound foolish every time you say it.

48 wins equals 19? 41/26% shooting equals 58/34%? 13 rebounds/assists equals 22 rebounds/assists?

ya gotta love this forum.

Great that he could step up and do that since Embiid not capable of running an offense like a certain big guy.
They finished 2 games back of the 1 seed and missed Embiid for 10 games due to Covid. Jokic squad was close to the play in game than they were the one seed.

And again…what exactly is the 6th seed in a top heavy Conference with teams left and right tanking or underachieving? Nuggets were 20-23 vs .500 teams.

That's more a reason to make Jokic the MVP as he could be a team's playmaker and Embiid cannot (so Maxey took up the slack).
I thought you knew basketball? Joel Embiid isn’t a playmaker? Yikes. I guess passing out of a double team only counts as play making if it comes with a shiny assist for the box score. Bad take.
