    so weve had 5 or 6, 60+ point games since Christmas...
    Remember when there were like 3 perfect games in 2 weeks or something? (maybe one of them should've been but the umpire botched the call at 1st for the 27th out)  Everyone was like "this is a joke, perfect games don't mean anything anymore". Then it went back to normal.
    Everything is okay.
    ehhh.  lotta 60 point games since 2010...  Just saying.  Defense collapses and scores rise.

    Embiid owns Jokic. Why do you think he's afraid of him when he's only lost to him twice and dropping 40+ the last couple times they've played? Makes zero sense.

    Also, I guess he's he afraid of Portland too, since, you know, his knee is still bothering him and he's out tonight.

    They play the Nets tomorrow. In the last week the Nets allowed the last 22 points to the Clippers and won by two over the Rockets after leading by 28 in the second quarter.
    but, with a chance to tie an all time NBA record for consecutive games with 120 or more points, my jazz scored 114 and lost by 34.

    I've watched a few of these matchups and while Joker has played really well Embiid has elevated the last few.

    Something crazy also on how a player gets hyped is their "fantasy" points. Jokic leads that right now but as you've pointed out, Embiid is on fire.

    I wanted Jojo to play at Denver and I want to win all the games and get the #1 seed. But nothing matters if he isn't fully healthy in the playoffs.

    And Paul Reed had a career high 30. Embiid may have had 60.

    Well if both the eye test and the stats test don't work...yeah I guess there's no convincing you. 

    You probably also think he was still ducking Jokic too and that this prolonged actual injury is all a part of the ruse. haha

    Sixers were fined $75K for some reason. I would fill a duffle bag with 75,000 dollar bills crunched up into little balls and send it to Adam Silver.

    So after a week of watching some basketball I really like Brunson on the Knicks.  Dude is gooood.  That team is scrappy.

    Kawhi Leonard is still the best basketball player when healthy.  Dude can do it all.  That Clippers team is stacked.  If they can't win a chip it's a damn shame.  Kawhi, George, Harden and Westbrrok? Leonards numbers are amazing all around even if hes not scoring 30 like the rest of the league.

    Same w PHX.  Another stacked team.  W the addition of Beal, whos wasting away there, should also win a chip.

    Every Lakers game I watch and see AD hit the floor I cringe.  I think "is this it for him?"  Dude looks like hes made of glass...When hes healthy the Lakers are tough to beat.

    OKC.  Holmgren, Giddy  and Shea...Whoever this Dort guy is too.  The team can play.  If they can keep this core they should be going places.

    Does your eye test not see him losing 6 of 8 games he's played against the guy? Or getting out scored and out played most of the time? lol

    If they are both healthy Embiid is better than Jokic. But being healthy is a skill too, so you have to consider that.

    You probably also think he was still ducking Jokic too and that this prolonged actual injury is all a part of the ruse. haha
    The eye test work very fine, thats why i can see what is everyone doing in the field..can you??.. ;)
    Does your eye test not see him losing 6 of 8 games he's played against the guy? Or getting out scored and out played most of the time? lol
    If they are both healthy Embiid is better than Jokic. But being healthy is a skill too, so you have to consider that.
    Yeah, that's a different conversation though. Saying "Jokic can beat him with one hand" when he regularly loses with both doesn't make any sense.
