Embiid is the mvp of the season 🏆

[@bjensen]

Right now, Embiid is the best regular season player. He's not the best playoff player. He's like prime Harden- the foul baiting doesn't work as well in the playoffs.

[@sirfish9824]

Or hear this, it could be because he’s hurt. And his bench can’t even score 15 points combined. Or he has pj tucker and James harden as teammates who could have rebuilt the entire country with all the bricks they had. Harden shot 3-14 from 3 in game 6. He shot 2-11 in game 5. Harden shot 39% in the playoffs. That’s worse than any player in the playoffs last year. Pj tucker shouldn’t even be in the nba he’s so useless.

[@TC-gx3qn]

I'm with you, Brou. Mark Jackson should be an NBA coach.

This is all against one of the worst teams in the NBA, the 8-35 Spurs. Embiid won't play this well in the playoffs because he has never played better in the playoffs than the regular season.

[@kaysheye7784]

You must have not watched because as soon as Embiid checked out of the game, the lead collapsed. Each bucket from Embiid was needed. You do realise that the fewest field goals attempted for a 70 piece in NBA history is 38 and the highest is 46, with Embiid's 41 being very close to the lowest, right? Lots of 70+ scorers also attempted at least 20 free throws too. It's all on Statmuse so you just said all this for no reason other than to hate on Embiid LMAO
