    I am sure if voters voted during the 1st round of the playoffs rather than the end of the season, the votes would definitely shift.

    B2B MVP getting swept B2B is just a bad look

    last guy to win MVP leading a team that wasn’t a factor was Westbrook

    Embiid bailed Philly out. Doc was giving Embiid the ball at the 3 point line in winning time for some odd reason

    Raps suck. Bunch of role players on the floor. Get the sweep over with. All the raps have the defense and length to give Philly trouble nonsense was a joke

    Wasn't rooting for any teams in particular, but got a really close, exciting game.

    Jokic has the trip-dub stats but Embiid led the league in scoring as a center 30.6 ppg. Had 51 wins (tie for 2nd best in the EAST) and got home court adv in the first round without Simmons and Harden for a only 21 games.

    Trip-dubs are out since Westy watered it down and without the assists Embiid is right there or leading in almost every other category.

    Couple it with Jokic winning it last year and the deserving player this year is Embiid.

    But that doesn't mean he WILL win because we all know how stupid the trophy is on voting

    I swear, great comeback by 76ers and Asiansensation is still btching about harden.

    I just glad harden could now afforded to get fouled out and trust his teammates to got his back.

    What a game, wish we have a big man like embiid

    I agree that Embiid is the rightful MVP, but it looks like Jokic is going to win it handily

    with Jokic, it’s not the assists or near triple double average they’re focusing on, it’s his advanced stats and his roster being subpar

    media would rather gift him B2B MVP’s than let Embiid get one

    i haven't seen anyone say that tatum played great that game. He hit a few clutch shots but that's it.

    That game was Horford, Brown, and Theiss

    Locked On Raptors podcast was saying Raptors in 6 with their chest out prior to game 1

    fans really thought they were the better team

    Raptors are a media plant
