The NBA has an agenda against embidd

[Walt]

At least spell that coward’s name right.

They were never gonna vote Embid as MVP over their “lytics” guy. Cacs didn’t even need a good reason to flip back, just anything to cast doubt

Nah, I think embiid was the slim favorite as of late
If he repeated the Philly performance on Jokic's court, think he'd be the big favorite to win

He should've sat in Phx and played in Denver

At home.

At Denver the last 4 years, he been on a milk carton

sixers are excellent on the road

The full court press in the media to justify giving it to Jokic though is crazy. Like it was straight up this one game determines it all. I didn’t expect that.

everytime embiid and jokic face off that serb gets destroyed but im just supposed to use my imagination to pretend like it's gonna be different just cuz its in denver.

I didn’t expect that.

the mvp narrative shifted when Denver started to lose in early March, everyone was saying it's Joel's to lose. nikka didn't show up to the biggest game of the year after all that talking he was doing. If he loses, he's the one to blame.

So we are supposed to take any random twitter account as fact

Happens in most of the other sub-forums, why would this section be different?

Not only is it random, the spelling of "favourite" in the tweet points to an overseas random guy.

You just felt like typing because the shyt you said had nothing to do with what I’m talking about: I’m specifically talking about the narrative that missing that one game would be enough to sway an MVP vote when Embiid cooking Jokic earlier in the year did nothing to sway his firm advantage. All that other shyt you’re talking about has nothing to do with anything.

Whether or not Embiid is your MVP, that one random game shouldn’t be the deciding factor versus an entire body of work.

There's an element of "what have you done for me lately" in this...right or wrong

Media was licking their chops

does the NBA own that twitter page?

 

[Left.A1]

He also dropped 47 pts and 18 rbds last time they met

That single game matchup don’t count …but the single game matchup he missed definitely would’ve as you see below

He just ducked the most pivotal game in the MVP race …

You have to play a game in Denver to be eligible for mvp …that’s the new rule

 

[Goat poster]

I support Embiid... but he should have played and snatched the award.

You just conjured this bullshyt up in your head.

Nobody is saying this game determines it all. We don’t even know how the panel will vote. The odds are simply set based on who Vegas thinks the frontrunner is, in combination with driving betting action for both. This game was a major determining factor given how close it has been between them both. It only makes sense Jokic moved back into [betting] favorite given Embiid didn’t show up.
