Lulz...I'll take "Things that didn't happen for $800, Alex." Young shot less than 40% from the field that series and about 32% from 3. Try again sparky.
I love how Jokic gets a pass because of his teammates while Embiid is responsible that Ben Simmons doesn't want to shoot (it was in that series that Simmons famously passed on a layup in a key moment in Game 7).
Your takes have the consistency of my shits after a night of bar-hopping.
But I would expect nothing less from a Steeler fan.
I love the random hostility when talking about players not even on the Cavs team.
"Jokic gets a pass for his teammates" is a nice way of putting "Denver was missing their 2nd and 3rd best players last year."
Embiid's excuse for getting throttled by the Heat last year? Scored 19 points a game. Shot 42% from the field. Was completely outplayed all series long by Bam Adebayo.
Historically, Embiid has shrank in the postseason. ALl of his career postseason numbers are down from his regular season ones. Including the advanced ones, and some drastically so. His game hasn't elevated at all and thus, he's never managed to get out of the 2nd round.
Now, that doesn't have any bearing on who is the regular season MVP this year, but it kinda goes to show your take that Jokic, and not Embiid, is the one in danger of being exposed in the playoffs is not based in reality at all.
Embiid, not Jokic, is the one who has drastically underperformed his regular season output.
From a 27 ppg scorer down to 21. From a 49% shooter down to 46.8.
Win shares, BPM, VORP are all significantly down. Across the board, he underwhelms when the lights get bright.
