People comparing Jokic to Nash are dumb as fuck, his repeat is one of the best seasons in history not the product of having a great record

i thought Ja has that dawg in him until reading his tweets. mans a bitch fr.

Jokic was obvious, ballot tracking and the fact that he was on top of the nba website MVP ladder made it so

1) american architecture is terrible, 20th century or later
2) american national parks and other natural beauties are incredible
3) meat is good for you and you should eat more of it
4) capitalism, more accurately understood as finance oligarchy, is at the root of all evil, and america is the dirt bed in which those roots have grown up
5) capitalism was born from liberalism, as was communism (there is an english/continental divide here to some extent)
6) nikola jokic was a worthy mvp last season but he is not a worthy back to back
7) most awards voters do not watch basketball
8) poutine is yummy
9) ben simmons is the future of the nba
10) I hate america

For me, the NBA most improved player award should have gone to Tyrese Maxey.

why would they say that? your average viewer will logically think the media is lying and stop watching them. so no smart journalist would ever say they voted for someone other than jokic because that would mean they're out of the job. and yet, every journo is committing career suicide by saying they didn't vote for jokic. why would they do that? that's retarded.

I know they felt the need to give phoenix an award but monty is not the real coach of that team

on that ben simmons side of the game

usually the writers don't talk on social media as much and when they do way fewer people pay attention than if someone like Kendrick Perkins or Stephen A says something

Both of them?

Ja not playing tonight so a 140-97 route again

Take your meds

it’s crazy how ime didn’t get it. they were the DOUBLE FUCKING OVERTIME WHAT THE FUCK BABY meme team at the start of the season and went to be the only team to get a sweep in the playoffs

Playoff minutes per game leaders
>Maxey 41.2
>Bullock 40.4
>Bridges 40.2
>Finney-Smith 40.0
>Harden 39.8
>Harris 39.5
>Embiid 38.5
Doc going full Thibs with his rotation.

I predict next year will be Luka vs Ja MVP threads that will break /nba/...

I would've given it to ime. him getting coty also would've made more sense than smart getting dpoy (although if timelord had gotten dpoy that would've been fair too). I don't even like the celtics either

Does doc get fired if Sixers get bounced in R2?

Well yeah it's the playoffs and the sixers bench is dreadful

anything but the chip and he should get fired

Who's a good 76ers bench besides Thybulle?

1. wrong, art deco at the very least is spectacular and I think the revival styles and craftsman are also worthy additions
2. true
3. neutral
4. the root bed is Britain
5. also true
6. wrong, his season is arguably top 10 or at least top 15 all time
7. they cover the sport for a living, you really think they don't ever watch games?
8. true
9. he's a fraud
10. good for you

see the journalists are literally just retarded and you're thinking too highly of the nba

Niang and Thybulle aren't THAT bad. And if Doc wasn't such a bad coach, we would also be seeing more minutes from Shake Milton, Paul Reed, and Charles Bassey.

Maybe if they get shit stomped in both of the next two games, but if it comes down to a close game 7 I wouldn’t think so. He’s an arrogant abrasive jerkoff and a choker but at least he helped unlock Maxey

>1. wrong, art deco at the very least is spectacular and I think the revival styles and craftsman are also worthy additions
there's exceptions but actually look at any american city today
>4. the root bed is Britain
true
>6. wrong, his season is arguably top 10 or at least top 15 all time
only by statistical rankings, not by team performance, which used to be considered very important for the mvp
>7. they cover the sport for a living, you really think they don't ever watch games?
yes
>9. he's a fraud
he's either going to be a great player when he gets his mind right or his off court antics will permanently damage the player's association's negotiation position
>10. good for you
thanks

It’s often been said time and time again “these niggas need a nigga”
Who is that team in the playoffs right now? Right now I’m leaning towards the heat they just don’t have that guy

If Thybulle could just hit some threes I would never have to watch the husk of Danny Green play basketball ever again.

the only scenario where doc keeps his job after a loss is if there's herculean refball. like worse than 2001 bucks sixers refball (but against philly this time around)

The heat have a complete roster and are the best put together team. They just have an achilles heel in that they don't have a big center, so Joel Embiid and Giannis will eat against them. But those guys are literally 1/billion

But then they'll absolutely have no bench. There's a reason why GSW doesn't start Poole

You just know that nigga who kept posting about gym basketball lost

giannis is 100% going to try to elbow embiid in the skull. he needs a stronger mask.

The refs reward him too. I love Giannis but dude gets a way friendlier whistle than Embiid

Attached: tumblr_pt24bk9xeq1ypx0upo1_1280.jpg (700x1050, 150.03K)

unironically he gets more calls because he doesn't make his free throws

why you keep posting this basic tumblr hoes

i know, just like how i love jokic and will readily admit that he doesn't get calls sometimes--almost makes you think that if jokic flopped a little he might've won some more games vs the warriors round 1

Giannis doesn’t flop. Refs probably getting tired of Embiid at this rate. His calls are going down but his flop rate isn’t

Finally get to see the Ja Secretly Sucks theory play out in a national game, should be illuminating one way or the other

sorry I will change my recent folder

Yeah all Embiid does is flop he doesn’t even know how to play basketball and Giannis has never flopped once in his life and just gets to the line as much as Embiid because he deserves to whereas embiid is cheating

'I would like, jump really high, or something'

So Gobert really is an overrated brainlet who caused the rampant Covid outbreak in the league.

police gotta be tired of all the chris paul calls

some of you niggas need to get some bitches

I agree Giannis doesn't flop. But that doesn't mean that 5 times a game he doesn't straight up charge a smaller player, barrel over them, and still somehow get the whistle. Bro has never seen a charge call in his life.

Lmao he said this because Shaw clowns on him during inside the nba all the time didn’t he? Jen what a mental midget

Some kid was trying to rape CP3's mom, that's crazy.

Everyone was too enamored with his childlike naivety when he came into the league. They genuinely think he's some savant and not just some dude who thinks he's playing rugby.
