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

[chargers4222]

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 Hyland*. Bones Hyland*.

Another phenomenal performance from the soon-to-be back-to-back MVP, Nikola "The Joker" Jokic. Thoroughly outclassing Joel Embiid in every sense of the word after dominating him in their H2H matchup. Truly a lock to win his second MVP award. Sensational stuff from Jokic, as always.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

If anyone would like to offer me Embiid at +1600 my DMs are open

[thomorino]

This game is exactly why Embiid is the MVP - and its not close.

Jokic was -16 on the court

Minus 16

He couldn't guard anyone, Markannen had a career night against him

Embiid dominated again on both sides of the court

this race should be over by the end of next week

[thomorino]

And Embiid, who has been an all-defensive player 3 times, had 5 steals

Embiid had 5 steals and he was +5 - his team won because he dominated on both sides of the ball has he has all year

He is the MVP

[thomorino]

Jokic getting destroyed for the second straight game, he's -15 on the court and Denver is getting destroyed by Boston. He was negative double digits against Cleveland last game even with Cleveland starting center out.

Its almost over at this point.

Embiid is the clear MVP.

[thomorino]

Embiid is the MVP and he should have won easily, but Doc fuked up the game against Milwaukee and Philadelphia lost by a fluke to Denver at home in a game Embiid dominated Jokic.

Some voters who know nothing about the NBA like Nash get lost in certain meaningless analytics.

Given the great odds I got I will put another hedge in on my original Embiid bet, Jokic to win the MVP -155 (Draftkings)

risking 25 units to win 16.12

Embiid is the MVP but some people who know nothing about basketball that get lost in certain analytics think its Jokic, Doc fuked up the game against Milwaukee and Boney Heyland bailed out Jokic against Denver, a game Embiid dominated Jokic in because he's clearly the better player.

Sounds to me you're looking for excuses why Embid lost.

There are 2 posts here, they are duplicates. The 24 unit risked hedge bet is the only one that will be counted.

Do yourself a favor, if you should be lucky enough to ever show a profit, and by judging from your NBA threads the past two seasons you haven't, but if you do...

Embiid is a far better player than Jokic and he dominated him in the heads up matchup. As I said, Embiid was +10, Jokic was -2.

It wasn't close.

Congratulations to the best center in the NBA, Nikola Jokic, on his second consecutive MVP award. The MVP race really pivoted when Nikola Jokic absolutely dominated Joel Embiid in their head-to-head matchup, leading the Nuggets to a crucial win. Congratulations to anyone who bet on Nikola Jokic from the beginning instead of hedging bets on other players after seeing the odds shift.

Media won't acknowledge that Joel Embiid is the NBA MVP because he's a white conservative..

Giannis now a lock to win MVP.

Could be.
I got 100 bucks of Jokic at +300
Going to get myself some insurance on the Greek now.
Damn, could have had the Greek at +2200 six weeks ago.

Even better, wait for Thermaflu to "hedge" on Giannis too and then we slam DeRozan!

And Trae and Ja right after that with Booker in the wings.

They are re terrible


Harden ruined them

No chance. Joker will win and deserves it.

You always say stuff like this

"far better"

"it wasnt close"

All of these players are equally great. There is the smallest separation between them.

Phila should release harden end of year

Guys has no impacts anymore old and slow and no defense

I do think Philly knew what they were getting themselves into with Harden, I think that move was more of a "we need to dump Simmons at any cost" move.


Embid has that SUPER MAX contract.
He's going nowhere.

You need to buy a tv. Embiid is clearly the better player than Jokic, he averages almost 5 more points per game and he dominated Jokic in the heads up matchup.

Embiid is an all-time great talent, Jokic is not. Jokic wasn't even the best player on his own team when Denver went to the conference finals.

Embiid is also a 3 time all defensive player, Jokic isn't close to Embiid's level, including on defense.

You post the same square threads every year and never win.

Embiid does not currently have a supermax contract. I literally just posted his contract.

They took a shot and didn’t really give up anything. Ben is useless. Drummond is gone from nets next year and curry is a huge liability on defense. It was worth a chance I think. So far it looks like it might not work out but we will see and it’s not a trade that destroys the team for years or anything.

The guy's on a super-max contract. Of course it sets them back years. It sets Maxey back, Harris... never mind the fact it hamstrings their FA punching power. Morey thought he was getting the Harden he was familiar with, maybe a revitalised Harden.

As other's have said he looks fat & slow. Needs an attitude adjustment more than anything imo.

[IBetYou]

And if you think they can just flip him in another deal... the guy's just demanded out of Houston and Brooklyn in b2b seasons. No right minded team see him as a player they can build around.

Harden has 1 year left on his deal and its a player option for 47 million, Simmons had 3 years left on his deal. The Harden deal will not hurt Philly long-term in anyway, and Harden will likely be healthy and in better shape next year - he will also be in a contract year.

[shadymcgrady]

Didn't they give up multiple draft picks as well?

[IBetYou]

McCollum is the guy they should have gone for. Better than Harden at this point in their careers, and definitely a better fit with Maxey & Harris.
