Tuesday Crew Reacts to Embiid (41 PTS & 10 AST) vs. Jokić (25 PTS & 19 REBS) MVP Duel | NBA on TNT 

battle of the centers Ol Skool!

Both just happy they made it to the USA

Unfortunately it's always been like that, people want others to hate each other so bad

2 of my top 3 playing right now. Maxey is the 3rd.

Jokic is never going to be what everyone wants him to be. Stoke away, the guy is just going to be himself and try to win basketball games. Not intriguing enough? @@DeeRG

he had 3 assists, obviously 3 counts as 0 for him whenever he's not on 10 and above

Embiid is a great passer for a big man tbf. He is averaging over 5 assists a game so it's not like he doesn't rack them at all

Actually not embid been diming all year. Biggest growth in game

I’m pretty sure he has those 3 in the first quarter. When everyone was hot. Can’t get an assist when they kept missing open shots the whole second half. But very true, weirdly low amount for Jokic.

@@CashEmDailyyall year… we’re in January yk

Exactly, Murray being held under 20 pts on a close game is the difference maker. When he gets hot and Joker doing his thing Denver unbeatable.

Umm what? Embiid has been destroying the NBA for his 4th year in a row. Joel has finished top 2 in MVP voting the last 3 years and will go it again this year. Joel has led the league in scoring the last 2 years and will do it again this year. Every year Joel is a top 10 caliber defender on top of. Sixers win 50+ games every year. You guys just want to tear him down in playoffs but in regular season Embiid has been the best imo

@@JayYo21 My point is as great as as he’s been he has got even better. He’s doing it even more effortlessly then before and with more efficiency. That’s not a tough concept to understand.

I agree. He's refined into a bonafide superstar. Jokic just got there faster. Reminds me of when Ewing and Olajuwon used to go at each other in the 80's and 90's. But difference is the first two will ultimately be better overall players in their lifetime.

@@JayYo21 are you good? He said nothing about his playoff results… What are you talking about tearing him down? If anything, my guy is saying, in, despite of him being an MVP caliber player, for the last few years, he’s reached another level. It’s the ultimate compliment… He literally gave kudos to both players and you’re still still mad 😂😂😂

This won’t matter…… He will choke in the playoffs where it’s needed most 😂 😂😂😂😂😂

He is more talented than the Joker but u right , he got to win a ring

@@salladiallo9766 he is not even close in talent as Jokic.

@@salladiallo9766 no way bro.. Jokic's talent is immense

I don’t care what you have to say playoff Jamal Murray > anybody Embiid has had. Jokic was a 6th seed getting booted first round without playoff Murray so what are we talking about? 😂😂

​@@JayYo21facts

Harris will be killed by either the Jays in Boston or Jimmy Butler in the playoffs

Harris will be killed by either the Jays in Boston or Jimmy Butler in the playoffs

If Embiid disappears like he does every post season it won’t matter if Harris plays like he does or not

that part

After 12 years, Tobias isn't going to suddenly become That guy. He's not shooting 80% in the playoffs.

This looks so weird because people were trying to put Jokic on Shaq's level before he had won a ring. Embiid and Jokic are definitely on the same level even though Embiid is the NBA MVP right now.

I’m sorry but every time they face each other Joel owns him

​@@AlwaysLM2011 It's a team game, you idiot. Jokic has the ring and finals MVP, the other has second-round exits! As long as Embiid is in his head with a "me me me" mindset, he will win nothing!

@@AlwaysLM2011except the finals cause Joel can’t get there

He is playing hurt 😢

L

@@eddie.madrid how is that an L when all prior evidence shows that he's right lol

@@lonuttaThat’s cool, but come playoff time we all know Jokic is gonna play better than Embiid

@@GG-fy2bmPreach !!

@@GG-fy2bm just a way for u to cope lol and when jokic gets eliminated then what? Y’all hate that the mvp is a regular season award so much just admit jokic can’t do anything with embiid

That’s rediculous. Embiid is the “MVP”. This roster is already more talented than the Nuggets roster of last year. Oubre is a really good piece who averaged 20 ppg last year, as is Toby. They still have a great perimeter defenders in Deanthony Melton, and Robert Covington who are hurt, and they have Maxey who’s an absolute stud. I’m sorry, who was the 3rd on the nuggets last year? Jokic was great enough for the 2 man tandem of Jokic and Murray to carry, while incorporating and feeding the rest of the team. If Embiid is as great as advertised, him and Maxey should be MORE than able to carry that burden and feed the rest of the team.

@@x0x0skiller2 you are dreaming if you think this 76ers roster has a chance. Gordon and KCP step up in playoffs, 2 of the best defenders in their positions. We all know playoff Jokic and Murray, don’t even need to elaborate on them. MPJ is the only inconsistent playoff performer. Over to the 76ers and their whole team is full of inconsistent playoff performers! Enough said…..

The loss of Jeff Green & Bruce Brown can’t be underplayed but the growth of the young players like Braun etc is what the nuggets are hoping fill those gaps. MPJ is an absolute garbage can coin flip on whether his shot will go in or not, but so is Maxeys shot and Tobias harris (although greatly improved) is still trash for his contract. Embiid just has embraced his shaqness which is why he will score 15-20 in the first qtr almost every game.

I think their big 3 (Embiid, Maxey, Harris) is good enough but they need 1-2 pieces around them that complement their skill sets. A stopper like Caruso and a secondary ball handler is a good start. Role players not stars though

@@shyyou93Harris isnt a big 3 player. most likely theyre ganna try to get Pascal Siakum

6-2 my boy. Embiid>>Jokic

Why do you lie to yourself like that? Jokic bend over the whole league last playoffs while Embiid yet again failed to even make it to conference finals. @@bendover3653

@@bendover3653 1-0 my man, in chips won for Jokic and 3-0 MPV's won Jokic>Embid

Lack of memory is funny with these Philly fans. Same thing happened in the Nuggs game in Philly last season. Embid didn't show in the Mile High and the rest is history.

​@@shepdawg66😂 exatly! 6-2 HH is based on a avoiding games.

I think he means they a similar as they both regress come playoff time. Although Embid looks different this year. More engaged. And having fun. Wish the big brother well.@@themack74

All that dont matter if you cant replicate it in the post-season@@themack74

Great comparison, I'm stealing it!!

Embiid can defend

NBA rigging games. GAME CLOSED until REFS STEP UP in the 4th quarter. (SIXERS only comited 1 FOUL in the 4th quarter🤣🤣) MAXEY had more FT attempts than the entire DENVER team EMBIID also had more FT attempts than the entire DENVER team.

6-2 against Jokic, he’s been dominating him. Don’t hate.

@@businessk7236he also hasn’t played in Denver since 2018

​@KleinpeterHank Denver or Philly it don't matter. H2h he is up. You don't have to downplay Embiid to big up Jokic.

​@@businessk7236 true but Jokic doesnt rly care about reg season

@@chukwuemekaibeh How it doesn't matter if he never plays away... I swear, some logic goes out the window in Jokic vs Embiid convos

the only thing embiid needs is a finals MVP + ring. Thats all i care about...

The Celtics are 2-1 against Philly so far. They are definitely the team to beat if the 76ers want to go all the way.

Embiid is a playoff choker. Not much you can do with him as your best player

I count 3 teams better than Philly this year in the East. Heat included. Massive mountain to climb.

What the Sixers need, apart from puttin' it together, is a Healthy Embiid. The times that they were in the playoffs, Embiid wasn't healthy.

Well said.

Yep, Right now Embid is the Dak of the NBA and vice versa. Lots of media love, but just empty numbers at the end of the day.

The Atlanta bats went cold in the playoffs not the pitching if i recall correctly

not even close kiddo...

Jokic is nba leader on rebounds, Joel is leader on FT. It was just the assists.

Leader in scoring... just gonna gloss over that? Btw if you dont want him to shoot ft stop fouling him. See how that goes. Btw he has ZERO flop calls this year. Has joker been ejected this year? Yup. Loser energy.​@QOTSAPT

Jokic can't defend anyone biggest difference, jokic never guarded embiid most the game with the likes of gordan guarding him who is too small

Embiid has never been healthy in the playoffs.

@@seewhatisee3564 That's one of worst problems a player has on this grueling physical task on the body, one of the reasons why Jokic is very durable and consistent even in the playoffs is because of the difference of their playstyle, I believe if Jokic wanted to, he would play BB for way longer than average and still be effective, while Embiid's playstyle will continue to punish his body way more, although he is a way better playmaker this season than he ever was.

⁠​⁠@@donttrustme6262yes, Joel’s face getting broken (twice) is indicative of his passive play style

@@meekphills5348 Wait, what are you on about? "Passive playstyle"? Are you misreading my reply.

And he relies too much on his foul calls, that play when AG was guarding him when he swiped the ball ever so slightly and Embiid shot over him instantly should never be a foul and in the playoffs wouldn't be called a foul, people get les free throws in the playoffs that is just a fact, and when you take the most free throws in the league it is gonna affect you, and I mean it is crazy that a heavy 7 footer gets so many calls, Jokoc doesn't get that many calls even though he is constantnly fighting in thw post or shooting contested floaters, and Embiid gets foul calls on barely contested mid range shots, I mean last nught Jokic only got a foul call when he drew actaul blood, that jjst isn't fair, and one big man shouldn't be rewarded for flopping while the other gets nothing while getting hacked every game

You didn’t watch the game then lol

That isn’t always the case. This past season I watched every second of the Cs vs Philly series and it’s so much that went into him not having the same impact. Embiid gave use buckets until they made a adjustment in the paint but instead of adjusting Harden, Embiid, and Doc all thought it would be ok to just keep forcing it. Besides that series Embiid gets outmatched most playoffs, teams have been able to just game plan on him and no one else shows up to help out. Embiid statically does get worse but I think it’s been a mix of everything from bad self awareness, to terrible coaching, to lack of help, to different teammates folding and having locker room problems at the wrong time. But at the end of the day HE is the one that will have to figure it out because as it stands he only has 2 good playoff runs and that were mid/bad

He just has to be healthy, that's it. Unfortunately it's never been the case during the playoffs, that's what you guys have to mention when talking about his playoffs stats.

@@robbyg7216 oh he was healthy last year during the clinching game when he scored 18 or 20 and didn't touch the ball the last 7 minutes. Injuries play a major role, but Embiid has such a strong pattern during play off runs year after year... there must be more to it, otherwise we should take for granted that he'll be "injured" again. To make an counter-argument: Giannis last year was severely injured but came back for the last game of the season and scored 40+, let alone that miraculous recovery in the championship run two years ago. Not all athletes are built equal but Embiid is pretty unreliable come post season in terms of performance.

All of y'all need to pump your brakes. Jokic all of a sudden is a cross of Wilt/Russell. He's the same as Embiid was 3yrs ago...both were out of shape and wore down as season and or games went on. Same shyt about Embiid not having playoff success was mirrored by Jokic. He wasnt in the best physical condition and He couldn't win shyt when Murray was injured. No ONE star wins NBA Chip ask Iverson or Brooklyn Durant. Denver goes as far as a healthy Murray and Team Defense takes them. Jokic is not Mt Rushmore Great Yet. Embiid has a team that if they are Healthy.....has a shot but they aren't even the most talented Eastern Conference Team

even if they dont win much this playoffs the future is blinding for them. one of the highest amounts of cap space next year and Maxey is a star.

Melo hung out with Bron too much. Ego has blinded him.

76’s don’t have that legit #2. Shaq is only saying that cause he had Kobe and Wade and Penny. Lol. He’s trying to downplay that Embid needs another piece.

No he doesn't they always double team embiid

He will excuse from jokic fanboys. If he destroy him again they will bring another excuse 😂😂😂

you may not need a superteam but its still gotta be really good for you to win. all these narratives about winning a chip by yourself or "carrying" a team to a championship are nonsense

Sadly, Embiid, a VERY skillful player relies too much on flopping and free throws, and it doesnt work in playoff, it never did.. well maybe once in 2006 finals, but even that flopping wasnt om this level of bad. Sadly I wish he would just stop flopping so we see what he can do

Okey Einsten! Thanks for saying something that was literally proven last year with the Nuggest haha

Just goes to show it’s about who turns up when it counts a lot of team can win just look how Heat done last yeah I mean they didn’t win but they came from play in lol

​@onlyfacts3178 Know how I know you're a casual? Cause you don't understand the Malone/Denver scheme. They're a jump shooting team. They don't have guys that drive to the rim and draw contact. Jokic can score in the paint, but he rarely drives to the hoop in doing so. Nuggets were using AG to guard Embiid. That's a mismatch. Jamaal Murray was guarding Maxey, another mismatch.

@@whits6783 YOU must be the dumbest person online. DENVER is one of the teams with more POINTS in the PAINT and JOKIC lives in the paint.. BUT you are saying that EMBIID who shoots most of his shoots from mid range draw contact and JOKIC who shoots under the rim doesnt 🤣🤣

@@whits6783 how is MURRAY a missmatch on MAXEY🤣🤣 and if GORDON fouls were in FOULS that didnt exist from MID RANGE how is that a missmatch?? ~STOP LYING

@onlyfacts3178 yup, casual confirmed...Murray is a poor defender. Even most casuals know that. I can tell you didn't watch the game.

You have to do rehab for injuries none fresh you’re always rusty. Plus they literally just played a b2b too

I think they need to add kuzma for shooting and rebounds to the starting lineup

OKC is going to take over the league one of these seasons.
