Evaluate These TDK Statements About Basketball
1. The Sixers were EASILY the Top 1 or 2 team in the NBA before Embiid went down... and with just enough time left in the regular season for him to get his legs/rhythm back before the playoffs, and just enough time for the team to get back in sync, there is absolutely no reason to believe they can't go all the way (unless Embiid goes down again of course).
Otherwise, we know the Celtics are hit-or-miss... yeah they look great in the regular season but Tatum and Co. have been gross underacheivers in the playoffs (even losing to the MUCH lower seed last season), and Boston is really the only team that poses any real threat to a healthy Philly team in the EC.
2. Joel Embiid = your 2024 NBA Finals MVP
3. Sixers = undeniably a legit Championship caliber team when Embiid plays
4. 28-8 record with Embiid says those odds are crappola because BigE is healthy again.
Still, I don't gamble unless one of the aforementioned scenarios exists, and that's not the case here.
PS: I'll be bragging and boasting all over the board WHEN Embiid takes home Finals MVP.
5. Embiid is a better two-way player than Jokic for sure... Jokic is a better Shooter and Playmaker (although Embiid is no slouch either.
Both 100% healthy and I'm taking Embiid.
6. Sixers are 15-27 withOut Embiid (a 29-53 pace) vs. 30-8 with him (65-17). They were rolling before he went down, and they're rolling again since his return... and they're gonna roll straight to the Finals, when Embiid gonna make Joker look second-rate en route to his first Finals MVP.
Remember... you read it here first.
TDK know a lot about basketball doesn't he?

History just isn't on Joel's side. The man has a history of shitting the bed in big moments in the playoffs. He just does. That wasn't the case yesterday. But it rears its head too often.

Re: Evaluate These TDK Statements About Basketball
So how much did you bet on the Sixers winning the title and Embiid getting finals MVP? Just curious. I know you are an avid gambler, so with those amazing odds, I hope you didn't lose too much.

Incredible takes from someone who doesn't watch an ounce of NBA because it has gone "too woke."

There’s nothing wrong with any of these.

Re: Evaluate These TDK Statements About Basketball
In #1 TDK specifies that if Embiid goes down, it's a different story.
Well Embiid did go down in the series (albeit briefly).
Also, the league ADMITTED to wrongdoing from ref-rigging.
Sixers are the real 2024 NBA champions.

To be fair, TDK is struggling to afford groceries and gas, so basketball might be a low priority...Lets get some of his takes when his hero trump rescues him and puts food on his table...

I love Trump too, but it is really weird for a man, let alone an old one to have such a loving and worshipful attitude towards another man.rileymartin wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 8:34 pm To be fair, TDK is struggling to afford groceries and gas, so basketball might be a low priority...Lets get some of his takes when his hero trump rescues him and puts food on his table...

Franz's handles remind me of Iverson's.
