Luckily for sport gamblers, Embiid has still a long career ahead, so a big amount of closeout chokes. He's been straight up trash in the postseason guys, it's time to acknowledge that. He's been worse than Harden.
Completely sick. You remember last year when Jokic actually played well against the warriors and lost? People were demanding he had his MVP taken away because he didn’t succeed despite all the injuries to his team. Meanwhile, Embiid has a fully healthy team and wets the bed and we hear nothing.
And so did Brussard, Wildes gave a half hearted comment on Doc not putting Harden in position. Are you looking them to all gangup and go beat up Joel Embiid?😂😂😂

To say Embiid isn't on Jokers level is unfair imo. They each have unique styles that they've mastered. The Nets were doubling Embiid nearly everytime he was touching the ball. And the Celtics D, with Horford and Williams, is a better match up than either Minn or Phx, Gobert or Ayton, was for Joker as he ate them up.
I picked the Celtics to win that series because I knew the 76ers couldn't close it out when needed the most. They had a chance to close it out in Game 6 but they let Tatum drop 16 points in the fourth when struggle all game and let him drop 51 points in Game 7. Joel and James were just terrible yesterday. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised Doc gets fired, Harden leaves and maybe Joel asked for a trade because the expectations to win in the East seem too much for them to get bounced in the second round. This team might as well tear it down and rebuild because they can't seem to make that leap to go deeper like winning it all.

This point keeps annoyingly being made. You guys say it with ignoring context. Jokic was a two time MVP coming into this year, YES he’s going to have higher expectations than a guy who hasn’t won it at all. This has literally always been a thing it’s why LeBron doesn’t have 37 MVPs and Jordan didn’t win it every single year. When you win an MVP you aren’t only competing against other players the following year but the year previously when you won MVP and every year you win it you have to essentially outdo yourself even more and win even more convincingly. Now that we laid that to bed, where was all this outrage from Jokic fans when he literally stole the last two MVP awards?
@@RyKiliam Last year he was the 6 seed. This is just based on historical context alone, nobody wins MVP that low of a seed unless they did something we’ve never seen before, this why you seen Russ win it when he avg’d a triple double but even then that year was based heavily on narrative because of KD leaving. even with him doing something historical they practically gave the MVP to Russ that year off of narrative alone and when he won there was still a lot of people arguing for Harden, LeBron. Jokic stats weren’t eye popping and what he didn’t wasn’t more impressive than what Luka and Giannis did with what the teams they had and the production they had during the regular season. Aside from the fact he was not a high enough seed Giannis literally had a better year than Jokic. He outplayed him offensively and he was and still is light years ahead of him defensively. Last year should’ve went to Giannis or Luka. Also he won the mvp just the year before that too so not only would he have been competing with Luka and Giannis but he would’ve had to CLEARLY outplay and outdo himself from the previous while still being head and shoulders above the competition. That’s how winning back to back MVPs work especially when you haven’t won anything.
I picked the Celtics to win it all but I'm surprised Celtics won. It should have been a sweep at the least a gentleman's sweep. Instead The Celtics just disengage alot of times and let it get to 7games. I don't understand it
This isn't the first time that Harden's crapped the bed in a Game 7. Either he's trying to get Doc Rivers fired, or he's point-shaving (neither scenario can be proven, but that's what it looks like). Either way, something doesn't smell right with that dude.
Embiid and Harden were the 3rd and 5th highest scorers on THEIR OWN TEAM in Game 7, and he said they can't do it alone? Are you serious.? Rest of the team probably saying they can't do it alone either.

@connor_phillipz5689 these other 2 guys at least brought a decent counter argument. Even though they were wrong and the trade for Kyrie didn't work out, Luka should've had them in a position to at least make the play-in regardless of their post trade record. This team made the WCF Finals last year for crying out loud. But your argument may be the weakest I've ever seen. "Nets team that doesn't exist" lol what? They still made the playoffs even after the trades. It's nowhere near how bad Nick missed 🤣
I had to agree with what Hakeem olajuwon said before that Embiid should punish opponents more in the post considering his skills inside instead of settling in the perimeter and threes.
Was expecting Nick to bring up some graphic showing how much worse Embiid was in the playoffs compared to regular season, showing historical data about true MVP's elevating their game in the playoffs etc.
Sucks that the MVP voters decided to collectively vote against Jokic instead of just voting for who deserved MVP, everyone involved just looks foolish now.
I’m still tryna figure out what quarters Doc Rivers played in??? I mean I’ve heard of a player/coach but the media takes it too far with always blaming this man when his PLAYERS THAT HE COACH WAS A NO-SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah i has nothing to do with him that he has more than double the amount of blown series as the guy who's got 2nd most in history. He's been a no show in the playoffs for a decade now
I'm going to say it again cuz I've said it all over every other video and I have the perfect perspective as a Philadelphia Eagles fan and a Celtics fan...... I can recognize teams that are like this.... I said I did not fear the Philadelphia 76ers because they are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA. They're just a spicy pick for people to have an interesting take but ultimately they won't go anywhere.
That might have been the most impressive playoff performance I have ever seen by Tatum. 51 points shooting 60% from the field, 79% from the line and 60% from 3 in a must win game 7 that was nothing shy of extraordinary
Exactly, but the Sixers quit in what was probably their biggest game in franchise history (if it even was to begin with). No matter who advanced, both teams deserved to lose when you look at the series as a whole; but Tatum (whom the Sixers could've had) easily had the biggest game of his life and put the 76ers to royal shame - such to the point it humiliated Embiid and Harden along with exposing Doc Rivers for who he really is - once again.
Did you guys watch the game? In a nutshell the Celts won with DEFENSE! A suffocating defense that prevented the Sixers from getting any momentum. And Embiid must be hurt, he never left his feet defending Tatum's 3 point shots! There was no impede by Embiid!
It's hilarious watching all these media folks scrambling to justify their MVP vote by throwing Harden under the bus😂 you wouldn't even be in a game 6 or 7 without Harden or Maxey's playoff heroics.
Philly should run it back for one last time. Keep Doc, keep Daryll Morey, keep Harden. Improve on Maxey and Embiid. Get on the trade market with Tobias Harris. He needs to be gone and get some bench strength and Philly is ready to go on for the finals.
This show is great! You could get these three talking about a marathon race between a sloth, a slug, a tortoise, a snail, and Usain Bolt....and they'd make it fun and interesting!

They still made the playoffs even after the trades. It's nowhere near how bad Nick missed 🤣
i love this show "no, no., you picked the nets" hahaha
I had to agree with what Hakeem olajuwon said before that Embiid should punish opponents more in the post considering his skills inside instead of settling in the perimeter and threes.
1:03 - "Alright, MY TURN!"
Brou went Skip Bayless for a moment there.
Telling the MVP to watch last year's MVP confirms Jokić got robbed.
Of course he got robbed. Embiid is not on Jokic level as an all around player. Such a big guy even struggles to get 10 reb in a game.
Talking Embiid to watch Jokic is funny af 😭
Was expecting Nick to bring up some graphic showing how much worse Embiid was in the playoffs compared to regular season, showing historical data about true MVP's elevating their game in the playoffs etc.
Crazy how the focus is on Philly instead of Tatum dropping an absolute masterclass.
This is why Chris is my favourite basketball pundit
Man I absolutely love this show!
I literally binge watch every episode I find on RUclips
language barrier.. he meant
"me and James need to help"
that's all
Hope so, was thinkin so
Sucks that the MVP voters decided to collectively vote against Jokic instead of just voting for who deserved MVP, everyone involved just looks foolish now.
Just like they looked the two years they gave it to Jokic then
I’m still tryna figure out what quarters Doc Rivers played in??? I mean I’ve heard of a player/coach but the media takes it too far with always blaming this man when his PLAYERS THAT HE COACH WAS A NO-SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah i has nothing to do with him that he has more than double the amount of blown series as the guy who's got 2nd most in history. He's been a no show in the playoffs for a decade now
Nick giving the Skip “Hm” lmao 😂 0:30
Nick always tries to filibuster with wonky details to overshadow the fact he was wrong. He does this everytime instead of just saying "I was wrong"
This dumb media members robbed Jokic or Giannis of the MVP to give it to Embiid and now are telling him to go watch Jokic on how to play basketball
I'm going to say it again cuz I've said it all over every other video and I have the perfect perspective as a Philadelphia Eagles fan and a Celtics fan......
I can recognize teams that are like this....
I said I did not fear the Philadelphia 76ers because they are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA. They're just a spicy pick for people to have an interesting take but ultimately they won't go anywhere.
I had no idea Tom Green had a sports show.
That might have been the most impressive playoff performance I have ever seen by Tatum. 51 points shooting 60% from the field, 79% from the line and 60% from 3 in a must win game 7 that was nothing shy of extraordinary
I’m to the point where I fast forward when Nick talks.
I think this is my new favorite “sports debate” show
This show is literally too good.
The bottom line is, the better team won. I don't know why anyone thought the Sixers were going to get past the Celtics.
Exactly, but the Sixers quit in what was probably their biggest game in franchise history (if it even was to begin with). No matter who advanced, both teams deserved to lose when you look at the series as a whole; but Tatum (whom the Sixers could've had) easily had the biggest game of his life and put the 76ers to royal shame - such to the point it humiliated Embiid and Harden along with exposing Doc Rivers for who he really is - once again.
Did you guys watch the game? In a nutshell the Celts won with DEFENSE! A suffocating defense that prevented the Sixers from getting any momentum. And Embiid must be hurt, he never left his feet defending Tatum's 3 point shots! There was no impede by Embiid!
Harden and Embiid are a perfect match. Both choke so hard in the playoffs!
They gave Embiid the MVP this year because he should of gotten it last year but Jokic should of won this year and not last year
Embiid will enjoy his schnitzels in Germany
Lol what??
The backing you down dance lmao
trade harden for a 3 and D guy and let maxey run the point next season. fire doc and promote sam cassel
First Things First is the best show after Indisputable.
Hey gotta give the props to nick for at least being consistent. He hates being wrong but begrudgingly acknowledges he was wrong
Can someone gives Brous a bigger mic, maybe he thinks no once can hear him, so he keeps raising his voice
I thought it was just me I been waiting for this all day😂
Embiid’s season ended the minute MVP award is announced. He checked out once he knew he got the regular season award
Celtics fan here…the man didn’t check out…he got injured…..let’s be fair……..
@@rogerthat.9105 his entire goal this season is to win the MVP. once that happens nothing matters to him anymore
So you tell Embiid to watch how Jokic plays. N still vote for Embiid?????? Disgusting
Just watch all these media guys walk back their Embiid MVP take the next few days. 😂
Lol lol I voted for him as MVP but over the summer watch Joker 😂😂😂
It's hilarious watching all these media folks scrambling to justify their MVP vote by throwing Harden under the bus😂 you wouldn't even be in a game 6 or 7 without Harden or Maxey's playoff heroics.
“Three inches & 40 lbs on Al Horford” sounds crazy
Philly should run it back for one last time. Keep Doc, keep Daryll Morey, keep Harden. Improve on Maxey and Embiid. Get on the trade market with Tobias Harris. He needs to be gone and get some bench strength and Philly is ready to go on for the finals.
"if you want to improve watch Jokic"
yeah, so maybe Embiid shouldn't be the MVP
This show is great! You could get these three talking about a marathon race between a sloth, a slug, a tortoise, a snail, and Usain Bolt....and they'd make it fun and interesting!

Years ago A former KC Chiefs quarterback said " I can't throw it and catch it too'
That quote was more classic than Joel's quote, considering it was back in 2001 or 2002.
Much respect to Tatum and xBoston from a Sixers fan, they never gave up…..unlike the Sixers.
My brother in law was trying to claim the sixers were playing good defense 🤣
not sure why them dudes dont want to give the celtics defense credit for shutting down Embiid and Harden that game lol
Respect to Nick for saying he would crush Jokic if he did the same thing Embiid did.
When you have playoff Rondo or Jimmy, you have non-playoff Harden and Doc Rivers. Any team with Doc and Harden is a non-contender
Tobias Harris shooting horribly will never be mentioned smh I blame him
Chrisssss you’re a real one
He wasnt doin shh on Big AL the OOG
It is absolutely crazy that none of them are seriously considering Denver as the champs this year
Tatum best player in the world.
Ok. Next time Doc Rivers is up 3-2 in a playoff series, im mortgaging my house and betting on the other team to win.
Its pretty funny to think Wildes is the only one with a true finals pick alive in the Nuggets
James Harden could scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists to be more physical and scoring 9 points isn't going to win the series.
This show is actually really good
WHERE IS THE APOLOGY FROM NICK TO JOKIC FOR CLAIMING EMBIID IS MORE DOMINANT?
