The 2023-2024 NBA Season

This is better for the Jokic Cult. They have a ready made narrative to explain away Embiid out playing him head to head every time they match up.

The narrative writes itself dude

 

[Wamu]

Embiid isn't playing.

My only thought goes to the fan that paid 5x for that matchup.

The “narrative” is for stupid people who can’t see that you could play this matchup in China or Greece and Embiid would still out play him head to head. This is a great matchup for Embiid.

 

[Wamu]

Availability is the best ability.

Yep on a bogus injury

Haha maybe 2xs my guy. That’s a shitty sports city. Tickets don’t go for $650-$700 there. Shit, half of the fanbase in a certain geographic area hasn’t had access to local Avalanche or Nuggets games for going on 5-6 seasons because of a cable dispute. That would never be tolerated in a real sports market. The fans would riot.

If it happens once or twice maybe. At this point it's hard to shake.

“Embiid out” = the only time Jokic can win this head to head matchup.

It’s a god send for Jokic Fan Boi. Embiid traditionally shits on defenders like him and because of Jokic’s game taking him away from the rim he plays Aaron Gordon and roams.

Maybe embiid can show up in Denver one of these days to test out that theory? Maybe by 2033?

Narratives are what they are. Embiid has this one.

Pat Bev going for 40 today

I’m with you. I’m in favor of the guy not being hurt.

Yep. They’re for woman

Sixers will only score 65-70 though

As long as Pat Bev gets to show who he is

If Embiid had played today and Jokic sat wouldn't you be calling him a bitch?

How funny would it be if the Nuggets take care of business today and this loss costs the 76ers the # 1 seed?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Just lame as fuck. Now draftkings fucked up my lineup change somehow.

Lame shit Joel. Lame.

 

[PPhan]

I had a feeling Embiid was probably going to be a late scratch tonight, and sure enough....lol
