Good Value on Joel Embiid to win the MVP at +1600

[Str8Mush4Life]

I just read in one of the other trades where Embid's hip is hurting, but I don't see any injury designation next to his name.
If he's hurt, Rivers is 100 percent to blame.

He's got birthday bones today.

[jjgold]

Rivers worst coach NBA
Epic failure in playoffs unlike any coach history of nba

[thomorino]

Embiid should have a huge game today with Allen out, Cleveland has nothing in the middle.

[IBetYou]

Embiid dominated Jokic in every way, Philly was, again, +10 with Embiid on the court.

[IBetYou]

that worked well

[thomorino]

Embiid is questionable tonight, I'd expect him to play, but he did take that fall in the final 2 minutes of last game

[IBetYou]

Might be good for them to play without the big guy... give Harden a chance to settle in. They'd presumably be a dog in Cleveland without him, so no pressure.

[IBetYou]

DJ is awful though... surprised they chose him over WCS -Doc has a connection with him from the Clippers days so I guess that's why.

[IBetYou]

final 2mins of the prior game above btw

[Buckandadime]

It really sucks when you fall...
Poor guy..
Soft..

[thomorino]

Actually he's played almost every game this year.

[thomorino]

Embiid is in and rolling as usual

[oldmanTED]

He has a double double with 5 minutes left in the second quarter.
Great first half for him.

[juicername]

Embiid +7 at half Jokic +14.

Second half won't matter much as both teams have big leads. Jokic already MVP for today's games.

[stevenash]

He has a double double with 5 minutes left in the second quarter.

And believe it or not Jokic has a better 1H line when you factor in the assists.
17/9/6

Jokic is one rebound from a double/double with six assists.

[stevenash]

Embiid +7 at half Jokic +14.

Second half won't matter much as both teams have big leads. Jokic already MVP for the year

Fixed your post

[stevenash]

These two jabronis are throwing up pinball numbers.
Embid is 27/14
Jokic had 24/11/7

[juicername]

Embiid -1 and costing his team the game while Denver is cruising.

[juicername]

Jokic +19, that's a 20 point swing compared to Embiid for the mathematically challenged.

So overrated.

[thomorino]

Washington is the worst defensive team in the league, Cleveland is a good defensive team - stop, you know nothing.

[thomorino]

Embiid with yet another huge night - 35 points, 17 rebounds

Again, a better night than Jokic

All Embiid has to do is playing the final 14 games and he is the MVP

[thomorino]

Embiid +7 at half Jokic +14.

No, the way sports works is you have to take into account strength of schedule, Cleveland is a far better team than Washington

[oldmanTED]

Both great players. Fun to watch the last week.
Tonight
Embid 35/17/5
Jokic 29/13/8
Jokic with much less minutes.(8)
Embid going against a team 10 games over and Washington 10 games under.
Both players had great games and both teams won.
Argue all you want.

Well said Ted. Well said

Well said Ted. Well said

Could not have said it better myself.
Too bad Malone sat Jokic in the fourth (no complaints, it was 100 percent the correct thing to do)
I would have loved to see what kind of numbers Jokic would have put up if he had his final eight minute run.

[juicername]

Embiid with yet another huge night - 35 points, 17 rebounds

Again, a better night than Jokic

All Embiid has to do is playing the final 14 games and he is the MVP

Embiid - 5, almost cost his team the game trying to pad his stats.

Jokic did his thing, helped the team win comfortably. True MVP

[jjgold]

Jokic a beast

So many nba

Even Towns

[Wrongside]

Embid is a beast.

Nevertheless the rankings are:

1. Jokic
2.,Luka
3. Embid

1and 2 are superb in 3 categories.
3 is only great in 2.

And number 3 bricks too many shots and is getting out rebounded by number 1.
Number 1 had the more efficient game tonight.

[stevenash]

Embid is having a bad week.

First Jokic shit all over Embid the other night, and then Jokic out performed Embid yet again.

[thomorino]

Embiid - 5, almost cost his team the game trying to pad his stats.

Embiid took over the game and dominated, as usual he had a better game than Jokic. He was -5 because he played with the bench that is horrible.

[thomorino]

Embid is having a bad week.

First Jokic shit all over Embid the other night, and then Jokic out performed Embid yet again.

Embiid so thoroughly dominated Jokic that Jokic gave up trying to score.

+10 to -2, Bones Heyland had to bail Jokic out.

Bones Heyland.

Bones Heyland.

I remember Embid badly missing a four foot bunny late in the fourth quarter that hit the side of the rim that Jokic gobbled up like a fat kid on a jelly donut, the next thing you know Embid was on the floor.

Jokic made Embid his personal meat puppet late in that game.

Considering who was on the floor with Embid and considering who was on the floor with Jokic and the other four Nuggets that BPM stat you cite is skewed
Bottom line, Jokic ate him up, bottom line Jokic's season +/- is greater, much greater than Embid's , and bottom line you don't know how BPM is calculated and you don't understand it.

And don't give me that Jokic's season long +/- is greater because Denver plays a soft schedule and the East has better teams.
Fact of the matter, ask those who understand all this (like me) Philadelphia has the eight toughest played to date, Denver has the ninth toughest, and the difference between the two is 0.009.

Just stop, the facts say you don't know what you're talking about, because if you knew how +/- is calculated and how it's applied, and if you knew how SoS is determined you would know what you are saying.

Just stop.

[thomorino]

Wrong, again, you have to adjust strength of schedule for the difference between the conferences.

Again, Embiid dominated Jokic heads up, and it wasn't close.

Embiid is now -150 to be MVP at draftkings PA.
