There's a hell of a combo with him and Ant for the next 5 years regardless of what happens with KAT or Rudy. So glad they didn't move him when they brought in Rudy.

the motherfucker actually did it. Of course Paul Reed put up 16 and 9 with 3 stocks in 17 minutes off the bench. Then the referees bailed out the nuggets at the end when an all backups lineup was decimating Jokic

Nuggets have zero shot in the playoffs; they might not make it out of the first round with that defense.

On the GOAT podcast they refer to this type of stat line as the Bertans and this might be Bertansiest one I've ever seen. The rule is no stats except missed 3s and PFs. 23min might be a record.

yeah even just 2 field goals from a defensive specialist forward ends up being worth 10 points on the +/- over the game, and eventually 2 assists because of the adjustment the opposite makes after you hoop and holler about your modest buckets

226 players have defended ball handlers on at least 200 drives this season (that's almost half of the league), but among this massive group Jokic ranks 222nd in efficiency, allowing 1.16 points per chance.

Per NBA Advanced Stats, 33 players have defended 300 shots at the rim this season. Jokic has allowed the highest field goal percentage (69.0%) on those attempts among this group.

Embiid was in a no win situation. Either he sits and gets called a pussy for not playing against Jokic or he plays and gets trashed for caring more about the MVP than staying healthy for the playoffs

if he needs the rest and recovery then taking it is the right call, the Sixers need him healthy as much as any team needs any player

awards like MVP are 90% bullshit anyway

Still, he's essential for guarding guys like BI, KD, Luka. Kuminga and GPII do their best but Wiggins POA defense cannot be replicated, as insane as that may have sounded a couple years back. It's the difference between the Warriors being a "tough out" and being the genuine defending champions.

It's gonna be the Nuggets, beating the 76ers in the finals on the transcendent performance of regular season and finals MVP Nikola Jokic because it's the option that would make euphronious suffer the most, and clearly that is what the universe wants.
