Not sure how to feel about this. These are two of the biggest assholes in professional sports (three if you count Foster). Wish everyone could find a way to lose.

Triple double in three quarters for Embiid. Assume that’s points/flops/FTs?

The problem with this is that some of the rankings appear to be based on what a team has done thus far, and others on future potential. Even the tier names suggest this.

There's no possible world in which the 10-7 Lakers are the fourth best team of the last month (or the Clippers are 12th) and the 12-5 Magic are in the teens. Now, if you want to say the Clippers and Lakers would beat the Magic in a playoff series: OK, sure. That's more realistic. But that's not what KOC says this is.

No fucking thanks. Last thing this team needs is a chucking guard who can’t play defense.

Wobbly? I guess but they’re first in the east lmao

Oh sure man he definitely didn't plan to disrupt and distract. That's why he leaked for a month that he was going to disrupt and distract, then didn't show up for 10 days to disrupt and distract.

How are people this stupid?

As always, worth mentioning that this is ordinary incompetence, not rigging games. Now, this type of incompetence could easily be fixed through accountability programs or replay, but the league isnt interested in that when they could be selling more gambling ads.

Cue all the smooth brained chuds in dirty diapers posting "Emflop just needs to beg harder than last year lmao"

Imagine getting 30 chances to create a good jersey and hitting on three (Philly, Boston, and Portland). Most of these - Nets, Heat, Pacers, Nuggets - should cost people their jobs. Just indefensibly shitty.

Yeah I think they were better than the Bucks. Substantially, in fact. Winning the game in OT was probably more of a question mark.

Mine is more selfish: what if Kwahi’s shot takes three bounces instead of four and the Sixers make it to the ECF? If we assume the same outcome for Golden State - everyone gets hurt and they have no chance - there’s a really good chance the entire narrative around Embiid and the Sixers is totally different. It’s incredible how much that bounce impacted.

“X team/player just isn’t clutch.”

We hate to admit this, but a lot of sports is luck. Sometimes the ball just doesn’t bounce your way. There are exceptions, but way fewer than your average fan would admit.
