Joel Embiid deserves all the slander and criticism. He had the audacity to whine about the MVP, put down Jokic in the process and his fanboys in the media went along with this bizarre racial and stat padding narrative. Ironically, it was Embiid who got destroyed defensively in the pick and roll. He look disinterested and slow last night. He checked out mentally after getting his MVP. Also it's funny how narrative was that Embiid is a two way player and equivalent to Jokic on offense. It's almost as if passing, rebounding and creating space for your teammates is as important as scoring. Watch the Nuggets and Sixers. On the Nuggets, the ball is being shared, crisp passes and reads made by Jokic and high quality shots taken. With the Sixers, 4 guys stand around doing nothing while Embiid does his things for 15 seconds, taking a contested soft 2 pointer.

100% correct. They’re making Harden and Rivers the scapegoats but ultimately Embiid is supposed to be the best player on the floor, between both teams. He completely only cared about the MVP this year and for that, I’m open to trading him. Philly wants to win, Philly deserves to win. Embiids gonna end up just like Simmons if he’s not careful.

[@jamesleroy8797]

I’m a big Harden hater especially in his Rocket days but this is 100% Embiid’s fault. Everyone already knew that Harden wasn’t the best playoff performer that’s why they made him Embiid’s sidekick. Harden won them 2 games, one of them without Embiid. If you’re the one crying to the league that you should be the MVP then you need to show up. You had 2 chances to close out the Celtics, Game 6 and Game 7 and you didn’t show up. You’re the only East superstar who has never been to a conference Final. Tatum, Giannis, and even Butler have done it with less help than Embiid has. People need to start talking about how this whole “Process” failure is Embiid’s fault, he always gets a pass if this were AD, Giannis or Jokic the media and the people would’ve torn thru them

They ain’t even wanna bring it up… the fact they giving the brunt of the blame to James harden is comical.. joell embiid is the MVP.. he’ll get the praise when they win why not the blame when he gets clamped by Al horford

[@romeomonteverde]

@@classicredwine doesn't matter. You do know that they now release how many votes one has right? At times they even show the names of those who voted and who they voted for, then Perk can say again that this guy or that guy is racist for not voting for Embiid. He's a salty black man who uses the race cars. He's basically the black equivalent of white trash 🤷

[@shootystealy]

While I agree that James Harden did choke as per usual, its criminal to focus so much of this segment on his shortcomings this series. James Harden himself willed this series into a Game 7 in the first place, practically single-handedly winning two games by himself. There was not ONCE this entire series where Embiid was definitively the best player on the court, as an MVP should be. I'm not going to draw comparisons to other MVP candidates and draw parallels, because context matters in all situations. But for the MVP to never come up big in any moment that is legacy defining should speak leagues about him as a player and a leader. More so, its shameful that ESPN will highlight the shortcomings of other players and spend so much time talking about the #2 option when simply, one of the most dominant forces in the league today can't put up more than 15 points in a close out game. Embiid deserves the disdain and chirping from the basketball community, and the only way he can silence those critics is to actually show up for once in a series.

[@enginerunsable]

Well said, it’s crazy how ESPN is focusing so much on everyone but Embiid. He should be the first on the docket for all the criticism.

[@arthurwright255]

I don't really feel bad for Doc because he is going to land a job quickly, a coach like him won't be out of a job for long. Harden and Embiid looked disinterested in playing yesterday so it should come as no surprise that they got blown out. The 76ers were never a real championship contender anyway.

@Adrian Pheiffer forget his 2 games. He didn't do anything in 6 or 7. Embiid didn't do anything either they both sucked ( Harden was worse ) but a guy like Harden has to show up in these close out games. Boston was the better team the Sixers had to close out the series in game 6 they couldn't do it and this is what happens.

The game was obviously more about JT and Boston winning. But honestly idk how Harden is getting all the blame it should be on Embiid. Harden basically won game one 1 and 4 by himself. He didn’t play well in this game but neither did the supposed MVP

[@enginerunsable]

This is shameful, ESPN should have half of the segment focusing on Joel Embiid. We have been putting Joel on potentially being “that guy” for years.

“Simmons had 5 in that game”😭😭😭

[@bye692001]

I recall Harden scored like 45 points in game 1 and at the end of the game can be heard saying "this is just game 1". Well he wasn't wrong, Harden gave us 1 vintage game and was MIA for the series when Philly needed him the most.
