2021-2022 NBA Season

I'm in rocky mountain higher time. Two hours difference.

Either way, I can’t get high right now. Nobody has faith in the SAT tutor who shows up high to the college fair. No bueno.

Likewise. And it's still light out. Sucks, I can't trick my kids into going to bed at 6 anymore

Whoopee cushion. You need to make that investment. Step one is a willingness to fart often and loudly to establish a reputation in the household for having death farts. When you want them to clear out and go to bed, just rip that whoopee cushion and you’ll clear the room. They’ll be fighting with each other to grab pjs and toothbrushes.

I have no feels. Just as a Canadian teenager has no proof that the Stanley Cup has ever been to Canada.

I'm a Flyers fan. Have been since Pelle Lindberg crashed his Porsche into a wall. So we are equal there

And brother we have been cursed ever since. G trade was underwhelming

There is no comparison between the defense Marc Gasol played and Jokic. That is an ass hot take. The only thing they have in common is being big and white. Gasol could actually guard his position better than most.

Jokic might have the best hands in the game.

His timing is impeccable and he always seems to get ball somehow when he reaches in.

It isn’t pretty, it isn’t how you teach post defense and he struggles to move his feet with quicker players.

And yet, Jokic is still an above average defender at his position.

Couldn’t disagree more.

It should be everybody’s eyes. If someone tries to tell you that Embiid and Jokic are close as defensive players just walk away because that person doesn’t know dick about basketball

Well,

I don’t think they are particularly close as offensive players.

And I think the margin where Jokic is better is comparable to the margin where Embiid is better defensively.

How are they not close as offensive players?

If 10 basketball people are starting a team how many pick Jokic over Embiid? I dont know the answer.

I have heard about the MCL and ACL but WTF is a UCL?

LOL.

UCL is that elbow ligament that pitchers get repaired when they undergo Tommy John surgery

I think it’s dependent on the other pieces on the team. A lot of teams can’t make the traditional 5 work. I’ve seen it with the Sixers. Brett Brown had no idea how to get Embiid clean looks on the block and you’d be amazed at how poor guards and wings are with entry passes to the post. It’s just not drilled and taught as much anymore.

I think it would be pretty split.

For me it would depend on who the other pieces were.

I would take Jokic though. Just think his skill set will better stand the test of time.

You are probably right. I’m taking Embiid because I think he is overall the best player. Plus I think Embiid is way less dependent on who is around him.

 

[raptorlife4]

Both are special players however Jokic is a generational talent

They are both having great years, I doubt the voters will give it to the joker again so Joel will probably win

If it were me I would give the edge to the Joker

And while i was at it I would replace AD off the top 75 with the Joker as well. Although that will probably happen down the road

He’ll always be dependent on the pieces around him. With little help before Harden Embiid had the Sixers in the mix for the one seed. Jokic without help is an also ran.

Simple.

I watch both play.

Embiid is dominant.

Jokic is transcendent. Best offensive player in the game today and it isn’t particularity close.

What help did he have this season? Maxey and Harris better than anything Jokic been working with this season

Transcendent? Man, I save those words for people who do something big.
