Giannis has played about 260-270 fewer minutes than both Embiid and Jokic, equating to more than 7 fewer games played at an average of 36 minutes per. With Embiid and Jokic hovering just above the future arbitrary 65 game limit and giannis having to play the last two games to meet that with much fewer minutes (probably won't with the 1 seed locked up), it seems unlikely they would contradict the problem with a new solution that doesn't actually address the issue du jour.
Lots of close races with multiple people deserving except I think Mike Brown should be the runaway winner for COTY. MIP I think should obviously go to Markkanen but SGA is also in the conversation even though I don't think MIP should go to players on an obvious "trajectory" like SGA, as when Morant won. From what I've seen 6th man will be between Brogdon and Quickly even though IQ's started a quarter of the games and logs significant starter minutes. I'm sure crazy eyes will be up there though. I'd pick Brook for DPOY but the votes out there already are leaning Mobley, which would be a heavy loss to Vegas this late in the year. I'm not a gambler, but I check these things out of curiosity.
Quickley only starts when guys ahead of him are injured. which was about 15 games with Brunson out. Then he played 5 or 6 when Brunson was resting at the end of the season.
I have no problem with IQ winning but sometimes voters care about that kind of thing and sometimes they don't.
i personally think they should bring RJ off the bench from now on. I don't think the FO has the balls to do it though after giving him that extension. RJ will really be the x-factor for us. I really hope he can put some consistent games together. Randle's health too will be important but I do think we can play well still without Jules for a few games.
I get that this looks weird to people but it's not hard to find out why he does this is with minimal research.
He's been taught to fall on the advice of doctors to lessen the impact to the lower extremities.
Why in the world does Joel Embiid fall down so much?
Joel Embiid is known for his elite social media game, his adoration of The Process and his MVP-level play. But watch any Sixers game, and you'll see something else: Embiid falls down ... constantly. And no one has figured out why -- until now.www.espn.com
Once you know this fact combined with him not playing today due to knee strain it's extremely obvious he's falling because his knee and lower back (from repeated elbows) are sore. The discourse over *falling* having nothing to do with trying to gain any advantage is frankly weird.
Not at all during this series
This guy gets it. Ummm… I’m doing everything in my power to suppress being a cocky Heat fan but the Knicks don’t scare me. Let’s focus on the Bucks first. They look demoralized
Knicks don't scare you? Famous last words. Cavs fans said the same damn thing.
