The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

I agree but I would suggest actually watching him. He is a damn good on the ball defender as well not just some guy who gambles and only get steals

I agree he's playing well, just disagree with the metric being a sole reason to get the award. That said, NBA voters have chosen poorly in this category recently.

 

[shopson67]

The first 50 games don't really matter. Don't blame me. Don't blame the Sixers. Blame the league for being more about entertainment than basketball.

LOL. Blame the league if he misses back to backs, maybe. When he has all summer and preseason to be ready and still misses the first 10 or so games? That's entirely on him.

I mean that’s all they care about normally. It’s why JJJ won his award a few years ago and why bam likely will never get one

They really need to develop a better defensive stat for the lazy to point to.

If he avgs nearly 4 steals per game I disagree

That’s ok, but as has been discussed over and over there is a lot more to defense than steals and blocks. I give him no more than a 10 percent chance of winning and that is if he keeps up what he is doing.

You clearly don’t know the voters lol outside of draymond and smart, what other players in the last 10 or so years won the award that didn’t dominate a particular defensive stat?

 

[Wamu]

I hear he's lost his fastball.

Yer daaaaaamn right.

 

[Wamu]

Yeah and he only won one championship as a player. What a fucking scrub.

That's what I'm talkin' about. And wasn't Riley on the Kentucky team that lost the national title game to Texas Western?

Rudy was 6th in blocks last year. I don’t think Smart led on anything. This time last year I’m pretty sure Shai was right where Daniels is in steals now.

Dyson Daniels is not going to win DPOY in his first rodeo in the conversation, it doesn’t work like that.

Going to be difficult to beat out Mobley. I agree

Sixers fans love to deflect on the real issues

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would love to know Wemby’s advanced metrics. They just going to give it to him bc of blocks? What about his on ball defense? Perimeter defense? @The Q what do you think

...and that has worked so often in the past? How many late seeds have won?

How many could drop this into their lineup???

Ready for what? Ready for December?????????????

Clearly you don't get it.

He's already dominated December. January too. Doesn't need to do it again.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Currently last in the league at just under 70% from the line

That’s not good at all and definitely needs to improve.
I haven’t looked at the season stats but I bet the Knicks are down near the bottom in that % column.

Jokic out for 3rd straight game for personal reasons

Sixers fans love to deflect on the real issues

The real issue is Joel isn't healthy come playoff time.

You are the people deflecting on the topic.

I have an answer to the problem and I've supported it with facts and evidence. ("On the internet? Lol what a loser")

Make the playoff games Embiid's 10th-40th games of the season instead of his 60th-90th.

No body has offered a good reason not to.
