Today's playoff games redeemed last night awful blow out games. Playoff doesn't start until the hone team loses a playoff game. I still have Nuggets winning. For the 76ers series, Embidd has been playing terrible for an MVP. Jokic is proving to the world that he deserved the MVP over Embidd. Embidd needs to step it up.

Jokic doesn't deserve both last year's mvp and this year's

Suns plan is to let Jokic score and get tired while making hard for the rest to score.

Curry deserved the MVP last year. This year Embidd did deserve it only based off regular season but man has he been trash in the playoffs. Completely inexcuseable to be this bad in the playoffs as an MVP.

I don't think he's been that bad in the playoffs but he's def. had bad moments. Today would've been his worst playoff moment ever if Harden didn't save him at the end as he was getting punked by old man Al Horford in the 4th quarter

As an MVP he has been bad. His scoring should be going up in the playoffs but Embidd continues to struggle during playoffs.

Steph carry us pls

He's been scoring better lately against the Cs than the Nets even with the injury. In the Nets series, they literally doubled him the moment he touched the ball every time so he wasn't able to dominate like usual, scoring-wise. Don't let the scoring numbers fool you about his performance

Nah hard disagree. Every great player gets double teamed; Curry, Lebron, Kobe, KD, Shaq triple teamed, etc.. You can't be the MVP of the league and shoot 45% from the field as a 7 footer and averaging 4 turnovers a game. Dude has been terrible. Jokic showing the world he should have won MVP.

Nobody on the Knicks want to get a fucking rebound 😡

Poole is bricking everything he’s throwing up lol.

People like that fat fuck Perkins should've never ever in God's green earth have the ability to vote.

He was crying that Jokić is white and that's why he won last time.

I don't think you were watching those games to make the conclusion that he played bad but he did have 1 bad game against them when he sprained his knee (he did play bad during the game before he sprained it). Those players you mentioned would've passed that when they instantly get doubled to make them get rid of the ball (maybe except Kobe). The team literally set their franchise 3-point record because they had a lot of looks from 3s by doubling Embiid. He didn't have to dominate when they gifting his team that as compared to what BOS is doing where they're willing to play him straight up and timing their doubles on him.

Also, it's good that Jokic is playing well this series although their opponent's defense isn't that good. Actually, they're both not playing good defense this series compared to Philly-Boston although they don't play defense at times too lol

Voter fatigue wasn’t gonna let that happen, plus Embiid led the league in scoring in a year more players averaged over 30 than I can remember. Jokic is playing better in the playoffs but it’s a regular season award got nothing to do with the playoffs.

Idk how Embiid was “terrible” either, didn’t see the game myself but he had a 34 piece with double digit rebounds in a win lmao. Only really had a sub par game the first time back from the injury.

Same thing happen in my Suns team, Except we got KD and Book to save the day.

Poole shouldn't see another minute in this series, he's about as good as a fan being on the court with the team. A fan of the Lakers at that.

I don’t know why Kerr isn’t playing Kuminga this post season, he’s the only one that has all star potential out of all of their young guys and can actually help here too.

 

[soheilhazrat]

Nice half, keep it close or take distance, if its close i think warriors starting line up defeats lakers's

Literally anything, i'd take Anthony Lamb on the court rather than Poole. Heck give me Kelly Oubre from the 2020 season.

Looks like "shit" wasn't the only thing Draymond smacked out of Poole

Kelly Oubre was shooting 4% from 3 that season tho

Kuminga went from being one of the youngest starters in the playoffs to a bench warmer and AD and Lebron keep dominating on the inside and Kerr just keeps giving Poole minutes.

What the fuck warriors
