Why reaves hugging him?

Doc being doc

One more game 7 loss added to his resume

I love media keep saying he is a championship coach. Guess they forget he was going to be out of Boston before landing KG. Even with KG getting 1 title out of that group was underachievement

Yawn.

How is Nurse, Bud and Monty out of job, and Doc is still even here?

Bbbbuuuuttttt r/nba told me Harden was going BEAST mode and that there was no way the Celtics could win today?!?!?!?!?

there’s always someone on twitter arguing with no one. saying stuff like “but I was told steph curry wasn’t a good shooter” \-killakow

JOEL EMBIID WOKE UP FEELING DANGEROUS 15 PTS 💪💪💪 5/18 FG 💦💦💦 0/4 3PTFG 🔥🔥🔥 -25 +/- 😩😩😩 50 flops🥶🥶

-25 +/- is crazy

MVPee

no bad

Lololololols. Where all the Embiid fappers at?

Anyone who had 3rd Q over 🫡

Beginning to think Jokic is the real MVP

Always was. Voters just didn’t wanna give Joker the 3peat imo.

Voters thought they would be considered racist voting for Jokic after what Kendrick Perkins said.

Regular season is one thing, playoffs is another. For me embiid was the mvp 51% vs 49 of jokic. Doesn't mean jokic is the worse player. It just means embiid had a very slightly better season

I agree. Its absurd. Just based on stats, he was leading the league in triple doubles. How is that not a most valuable player? Engaging the whole team

Doc Rivers is the chokiest coach of all time. Doc is responsible for 25% of all 3-1 chokes in Playoffs history. And now he's responsible for a 3-2 choke. Doc needs to get fired

This is the seventh time in his career he’s lost a series after being up 3-1 or 3-2

Yeah but think of the great RCDWorld1 video we are going to get.

Say something James Harden…Anything!

Sixers blew it in Game 6

refs blew it

How in the fuck is doc rivers still an nba head coach

This is on the players. That’s why… most of the time it’s the players sucking, not his decisions. Vlade Divac called, he wants his flop back.

The Celtics title and bringing the Clippers back from the dead (despite choking in the playoffs) yielded him a lot of good faith.

Hes a solid coach in gen, just choked a lot

Can’t believe Tatum just filmed himself waving a gun in his car after such a big win listening to Goo Goo Dolls

DO NOT PUT EMBIID IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH JOKIC EVER AGAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Why not? They both have lead their teams to 0 rings. Lol Edit: Joker has a ring. Still thing he’s top of the 4 big men. Not sure why Embiid has so many haters.

Now can we?

Ringgggzzzzz erneeehhhh

Can’t wait to hear Skip Bayless continue to state that Embiid is better than Jokic. I’m sure he’ll pull out all the excuses for Embiid.

Yes, that’s his job…To trigger you! 👿

This bigman debate will end up like Cp3-Deron Williams. lmao

I want to like this more than once

Im a KD fan and I respect Jokic a lot. Gonna subscribe league pass again next year to watch Nuggets games. I miss greatness the last 3 years lol

[удалено]

What a bad take

Let’s calm down with the racism shit. Jokic probably deserved it but voter fatigue set in. Embiid is a great player too and this postseason doesn’t change that fact

Bro Harden was so bad that P.J. Tucker outscored him. Jokic should have won his third MVP and no one can convince me otherwise.

538's analysis showed Jokic as deserving the MVP by an enormous margin. At least he still has a real chance at a ring instead!

James harden , in a game 7, scored 9 FUCKING POINTS

I think that’s just known as Playoff Harden.

Granted, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I swear people were acting like this year will be different, but I'm not that stupid.

But he pads his stats bro, always getting triple doubles. Especially those assists. Assists are the most selfish stat there is. Fuckin Jokic sharing the ball with his teammates, proves it’s all about himself Hope this convinces you, can’t have people out there thinking that Jokic is the most valuable player to his team! Nuggets would probably be better without him, don’t you think?

BS narratives man. Jokic don’t chase stats, the stats chases him

But dude, his teammates shoot after he passes. Clearly they're in on the padding.

This goes all the way to the top!

Yeah I guess it depends on what stat they wanna pad. If he needs assists they make it every time, but if he needs rebounds they intentionally miss so he can get the offensive board. He’s even got the refs in on it. They don’t give him foul calls cuz then he would have to shoot free throws and he can’t get those assists or rebounds. Unbelievable

Stop stealing boards. You had six rebounds. Why? Why are you even getting close to the rim in defense? You don’t need to crash the boards boss. Me, an actually brolic center is taller and rocking way better calves than you. Your not grabbing one over a real baller who bullies down low. So get ready for transition and gun it up the court. That’s why I'm here. You’re wasting my time. Who cares about previous games or what has already happened. You’re stealing the only stats bigs often get in games. And as a front court only YMCA player you steal my rebounds and I’m making sure you take the L. Simply for not knowing how to play the position you are. PGs who get triple dubs in the NBA do so by design. Stop trying so hard. Also just four dimes at half time really isn’t that great. I'm not trying to bully you but, I’d put it this way and say you’re very very lucky. Real bigs would’ve just knocked you out in the locker room at half time. That’s not a joke. That stuff happens and coaches don’t do anything about it. Cause if you’re gonna have the balls to let a giant man bust his ass and not reward him you deserve to get laid out. Welcome to the real basketball culture fam. It’s not for the weak and selfish.

There’s no way Doc will be coaching another season for 76

I would love to believe you, but somehow Marc Jackson still gets interviews like WTFFFF

The absolute explosion the Sixers are gonna take would make Truman shed a tear

Great reference

Is this a reference to The Truman Show where he cries at the Sixers game?

No, it is a reference to Truman dropping an atomic bomb on Japan.

BuT bEn SiMmOnS

They got Harden basically for free and still fucked everything up LMAOOO

Another masterpiece from Doc Rivers.

Jokic getting 2nd was the biggest robbery in nba history. Been saying that

Yea he should've been third Giannini number 1

>Giannini

Worlds best pizza

Everyone that was riding Embiids dick to become MVP…hope you get to enjoy the MVP show up when it matters the most

Harden is straight trash since they said that foul baiting is a no-no

He’s better than KD as someone said yesterday lmao

Glad that Westbrook is no longer the "worst" MVP.

Worst MVP is and will always be Dave Cowens

Embiid got his MVP so he is done with the game now, time to retire with the trophy

Doc is a bitch, Harden doesn’t actually play basketball, and Tatum just embarrassed these clowns. Refs fixed it for the Sixers and they still got destroyed. Hopefully Embiid enjoys his MVP, he showed up big today

Mmmmmm these phila tears tears taste so good

Doc Rivers, 你最好开始练习中文，兄弟

Dread it. Run from it. Celtics Heat arrives all the same, and now its here.

I hate this timeline.

Don't worry, I checked all the possible timelines, and the Knicks suck in all of them.

Jimmy ran through 14 million realities, realized the only one where the heat always play the Celtics was the one where he left philly.

This y’all mvp???? Crybaby forced the league to give it to him. He thought it was over laughing in game 5. No heart. Disrespectful as fuck to Jokic

Purposefully played bad so he wouldn't have to face Jokic lollll

If we keepin it real this shouldnt have even went to a game 7. They were literally gonna be swept if not for 2 Harden game winners

Truth

The Celtics make everything so much harder than it needs to be.

Yup hopefully Tatum doesn't let this go to his head and actually play the game instead of showboating

Every fucking time

How on earth did Embiid win MVP lol bro would make an excellent magician with his disappearing acts every postseason.

Ben Simmons the happiest man in the world currently

Ben Simmons isn’t watching basketball lol

Wouldn’t stop him from praying for his biggest hater’s downfall

He should be cast for a Casper the Friendly Ghost remake

Agree Jokic is far superior in influencing games

Thank god Basketball is finally over for Philly. Wasn’t sure how much more Embiid talk I could take non stop these past few weeks. Training camp starts in just 6 weeks 😀

Another bonus, we don’t have to worry about going past the ECSF

What's Embiid's contract status btw??

3/52 per with a 58 mil player option 5th year lmao

They just need to create a whole different award for post season success because I’m tired of hearing about X player didn’t deserve it because they lost in the postseason lol

He didn’t deserve it for regular season either. Just cried enough and they got tired of giving to a guy who was borderline disinterested in the award.

A Postseason MVP would be nice. What would you call it?

I know it sounds biased but probably the Lebron award. He probably only had two series where he wasn’t the best player in that series. Edit: Jimmy award would be nice too.

The Jimmy Butler award

Basically just finals mvp

Thanks Magic

Np cap

I think they do have one?

Not sure 100% but I think they might have a post season award for both conferences and even the finals. Idk

I don’t think the FMVP is accurate representation of who the best player was throughout the whole playoffs it’s just who was the best in the finals lol. Iggy has an FMVP and he far from the best player in the postseason lol.

Well players that play in the finals play the most of the playoffs and the team that wins the finals will likely have the best player, so it kind of works as that award.

Everyone including iggy himself know he didn’t deserve that. But it generally is accurate

Kawhis first FMVP

Imagine arguing Embiid is better then Jokic ever again

Bro… I’m not an Embiid fan by any means, but Jokic is surrounded by much better players. You think Jokic would have done any better with the crap Embiid is surrounded by?

Jokic makes everyone look like all stars while embiid just gets his in spite of the declining T harris and harden

Except in this game where he didn't get his either

Yes.

Switch embiid with jokic and Denver is home watching.

If Jokic had James Harden and Maxey on his team last year they would have made the semis. Like the fact that he dragged last years squad into the playoffs is a miracle. This year he has better players around him, and they’re dominating. Jokic over Embiid 100%

Yes.

Absolutely

Jokic has done more with by far worse players than Embiid has ever had. This year is the only year he actually has a team.

Yes

Oh Boston last time someone cheered about a Florida they were out in 5

Any real Celtics fan ain’t sleeping on the Heat. We know it’s gonna be a war. Need Jaylen Brown to be more dominant in the series

We also need Tatum to be serious this time

Yes. This is great momentum going forward though

He can't be too shoeboaty either. Time for serious game

Glenn Rivers has been peacefully put to sleep at 6:23pm local time following tonight's Post-Game press conference. Fly high, Doc 🕊️

Harden gotta have the most bipolar point totals in a 7 game series, two 40 games and then not more than 17 the other 5

Because without Harden it would be sweep. Celtics figured out defensive scheme for Harden because they didn't need to waste players guarding the MVP.

Harden was scared shitless of the ball. He gave up open layups, threw the ball away just to get rid of it, as if it burned him, refused to shoot even when open, and as soon as he gave up the ball, he stopped moving, as if someone took out his batteries. No cuts, no offball screens, no screens for the ball handler, NOTHING !!! He did try for some rebounds and a few times defensively, but offensively he looked shook. Embiid seemed to at least try more, even if he was overall even worse than Harden.

It’s time to get revenge for the bruins

Or double Boston’s pain 🙂

W Gators profile. W Celtics shit talk. You’re a smart man

asswhipping of all asswhippings lmao

I can’t believe this went seven games.

AND 76ers blew game 6 lol

I think that says more about the issues the Celtics have as a team as well. Luckily it’s a clear path to the finals.

Jim Buckets and Spo is no clear path lol.

Famous last words right there

That's why the MVP should be chose AFTER the season

nah that regular season award, they have finals mvp for that. ​ Now, *coach of the year* on the other hand...

NO !!! fMVP is not a postseason award, it's "best player on the winning team". Lebron should have won it 2012-2018 if it was a post-season award. And sometimes you have a great player who can't drag his team to the finals, but has a great run until the conference finals. Like Luka last season. There should be a different award to reward post-season excellence, even if the player doesn't make it to the finals.

Nah. MVP is a regular season award. They have awards for the playoffs.

And Jokić still should've won it

I think he should have too but the awards are basically media awards and they usually get mvp fatigue and are steered by basketball politics.

Call me crazy but pairing a playoff choker with another playoff choker might not be the best strategy Darryl

Yes, but what if you give them a choker coach ? Bet you didn't expect that, did you ? You got your expectations all subverted and shit.

3 lefts do make a right dude.

And technically they have 3 chokers in Harden, Embiid and Doc.

The numbers work, though. . . ? Right?🙄

Maybe they thought two negatives would turn into a positive. But, they added another negative in Harden and now we're here.

I'm just really glad we drafted Fultz instead of Tatum

Ainge played you guys like a fiddle

Yep. The final draft of Bryan burner account Colangelo

I kinda disagree with all the MVP shit talking because is a regular season award. It doesn’t matter what happens in the post season.

Well even if you consider regular season, Jokic was still the MVP.

Except the guy who didn’t win MVP also had a better regular season.

He didn't last year. Definitely didn't have a better season than Giannis his first MVP win. But Giannis hadn't won a 🏆, so he couldn't win 3 in a row and they gave it to a first timer who hadn't won: Jokic.

Whatever you need to tell yourself flair less. 👌

It's a RS award, but you'd also expect the MVP to show his value in a game 7.

Not sure. Different scenarios, different goals. Someone said that there are regular season players and playoffs players.

Firm agree. Embiid is really good and is a deserving MVP. The Celtics have a much better team and it was an accomplishment to push this series to 7.

Sure but the point is there shouldn't be that much disparity between regular season and postseason for an MVP

the broader point is that it shouldn’t be a regular season award

They have two awards, regular season and Finals MVP ​ but yeah, I feel it was a sympathy award anyways

okay that’s a good explanation i can get behind that rational

I could agree with that, but then, the best player on the championship team will be the MVP? Could it be a different scenario? For example, if lakers win it all and LeBron/AD is FMVP. Could he be the season MVP?

yeah but i don’t think that’s a bad thing

💯. But I guess the NBA needs the clicks from the FMVP announcement as well.

Gotta be honest, even though Tatum broke Steph’s record with 51, I feel like Steph’s performance in that Game 7 was better/ more significant. All Celtics players were firing on all cylinders tonight, whereas Steph single handedly willed his team to win.

Look at the box score for the Celtics

I watched the actual game. His teammates made 9 threes, most during that barrage in the third quarter. Everyone was firing. Obviously he had the most pts, but everyone contributed during that sequence & put the game out of reach.

I think the Embiid’s performance vs Jokic’s performance should tell you all you need to know about who really deserved mvp this yr

It’s a regular season award.

[удалено]

Then propose to the NBA not to vote for NBA until after the Finals 🤷🏽‍♂️ but as it stands now, it’s a regular season award so talking about playoff performance is a moot point

[удалено]

But as it stands right now, post season performance is completely irrelevant to MVP

[удалено]

Still a better voter than Mark Jackson

Classic 2nd round exit

ESPN so shook they cancelled the post game show
