Uh oh, the dominant narrative is in trouble
Got beat by a whopping 28 points. On their own home court, no less.
A Heat player scored more points. Actually, make that two.
Butler actually scored more points, in less minutes, at higher FG%. :lebronamazed:

Personal record now 43-23. Somebody is at 48-20. :violin:

This will go down as a voter fatigue year. Jokic deserves MVP.

I'd give Jokic the nod seeing how he's led a relatively trash team to 1st seed, but Embiid or Giannis winning it wouldn't exactly be a robbery.

Nobody cares OP, especially over this way.

It's G Leauge finals time.

Go Blue Coats!

Embiid ended it against the Celtics. It's over.

Nuggets post-ASB are 10 - 7 with Jokic and while his number are still great, he hasn't had a signature MVP game (he's still been incredibly efficient and up to his usual standard, but there's no game I can point to and tell you why he should be the MVP) during this stretch. He's just been incredibly efficient & consistent and has a great team but Embiid has been consistently dominant post-ASB and it's like a historic scoring season for a Center, at least in the context of the last 40 or so years. There isn't much of a difference between the two and what they've done individually this season, but Embiid has the better story and honestly if you're going to look back on this season years from now you'll see that he had the better dominant stretches. 33 ppg on 65.5%TS is just insane, especially for a big man, and for a big man who loves to shoot jump shots at a considerably high volume.

They have the same RS record. Some people will point to their team's record without them but understand scheduling and which games these guys have sat out. Denver's opponents with Jokic out have all either in the POs or the Play-In with the worst team being OKC, while the Sixers have sat out Embiid vs Hornets 2x, Magic, Washington 2x, Detroit, Indy, Bulls before they looked good etc.

Break up your text. It makes it easier to read.

Let embiid win the league mvp if it that's how things will go this way for this year. No problem at all.

But it will be truly funny if he and his team get bounced away for another time in the semifinals. :roll:
