    Yes like I pointed out, every player has bad games. We dont need a paragraph about it from you

    Fouling is a good thing now. Also 1-7 shooting

    So you agree that Embiid and Harden suck in the playoffs, if it was regular season Philly looks stronger on paper..... The reason Boston are betting favorites is because you never bet for Harden in the 2nd round of the playoffs....

    Why did you just ignore my question? You thought embiid played like an mvp?

    Embiid is injured. Why post your opinion if you are living under a rock? Boston is the betting favorite because they have 2 stars of their own and a deeper team and homecourt advantage

    how was this not a flagrant 2 and a suspension? that was a complete non basketball play where the only intent was to try to take a guy out for the season, as dirty of a play as you will ever see

    No he did not, neither did Harden.... How many MVP's has Brown or Tatum won?

    Yeah that is a gross play. That kind of sh*t doesn't just risk ending a guy's season, it could end his career. That's a "I'm going to try to tear some ligaments in his knee" type of play.

    Cool. Salvy.

    What if Embiid just scored the MVP and then got injured and cannot play like an MVP but just 45% of that version.

    Does that satisfy any Philly fans?

    the MVP award ceremony was great. Embiid's kid wins the mini-me MVP award

    Would smart even be in the nba without his flopping skills/dirty play? Could he be a decent bench guy or not even that

    The refs can really be so dumb sometimes. How is that a jump ball?
