    Gotta wonder if Harden is going to get some MVP attention given the impact he seems to have had on the Sixers since his acquisition. Held him out tonight and they barely broke 80.

    It’s all going to Embiid. Next year, neither has a chance because they have each other. This is Embiid’s last chance. Like when KD and Curry never won MVPs together.

    Could this also have something to do with who was also in the conference playing well when he has been playing?
    One other note. Ja is something very special. Why are you trying to diminish what he is doing? Did you ever think maybe Ja earned that spot?

    Last quarter of the season makes a big impact in voters' minds, and Embiid is being upstaged by Harden and (to a lesser extent) Maxey so far. If the rest of March continues this way, I think he's going to lose a lot of support.

    I tend to agree with this. The first third of the season puts you in the conversation but the last 20-25 games usually seals the deal.

    You'd think the guy they got from tanking would guarantee then a ship, with or without DG!

    Because Tanking is such a good way to go.

    You just cherry picked 2……. TWO examples of it working. SIGH……
    That same exact draft, the Celtics had the worst record. They tanked for Duncan and it DIDN’T work.

    Wizards lookin good with Porzingis. Brooklyn could miss the play-in. They were #1 about month or so ago.

    And that entire stretch consisted of no Durant and no/sulking Harden. With Durant looking like his old self, Kyrie able to play more than every other game, and the possible addition of Simmons, I don't think you'd find anyone [sane] willing to bet on them missing the play-in.
