Joel Embiid Is On A Historic Tear As The Sixers Are Winning Basketball Games By Zillions Of Points
Joel Hans Embiid. MVP of basketball. Father of one. One helluva model American/French Citizen/Cameroonian. Joel Embiid is the man across the board of humanity, and what he's doing on the basketball court as of late has been nothing short of biblical. The dude has been simply unstoppable in Nick Nurse's offense. Last night he had another casual 42 and 15 in just 30 minutes in Charlotte. Ho Hum JoJo. Just another historic night at the office for the big man. Embiid beyond dominating is becoming a gloriously regular thing. Look at these stats from the last 10 games before that. LOOK AT THEM:
Back to back MVP stuff, for sure. Yeah he sat out with an illness that was going around the team for Pelicans and Celtics. OK. And the haters say Embiid pads his stats vs. the bad teams. Fair. JoJo loves to slay those who are lesser than him. HOWEVA - he puts in full-game domination stats while NOT EVEN PLAYING THE 4TH QUARTER OF ALMOST 50% OF THE GAMES!!!
And the best part is, unless an injury or Doc Rivers gets involved, there's absolutely no way to stop Embiid. How do you combat this? He's morphed into looking like Kevin Durant while scoring yet just bigger and more beautiful.
The Sixers are 18-7, 3rd in the East only 2 games back from the #1 seed Celtics. They've won 6 straight with the last 5 coming by double digits…including victories by 32, 45, and 53(!!!). Good gravy this team is fun. So much so, in fact, that expectations are starting to be made. We'll see everyone in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Again.
Now do me a favor and CUE IT!
