    Harden and Embiid disasterclass 8-29 combined yikes. This is r/denvernuggets Christmas.

  3. Both_Funny4896

    turns out the only thing that mattered to Embiid was winning MVP

  4. weekndalex

    JOEL EMBIID WOKE UP FEELING DANGEROUS

    15 PTS 💪💪💪

    5/18 FG 💦💦💦

    0/4 3PTFG 🔥🔥🔥

    -25 +/- 😩😩😩

    50 flops🥶🥶

    STILL HASN’T MADE IT PAST THE SECOND ROUND😭😭😭😭😭

    BETTER THAN ANTHONY DAVIS? I DONT THINK SO🙅🏻🙅🏻

  5. SemataryPolka

    And with this loss, the Minnesota Timberwolves have still been to the conference finals more recently than the Philadelphia 76ers

  7. Ihatgar11

    Nuggets fans eating like joey chestnut tonight

  8. WiIIemdafoe

    Embiid confused, why all these extra games? He already got the MVP the rest of this doesn’t matter.

  9. CommodoreN7

    Turns out refs can’t hand the Celtics the series when we just completely dominate the Sixers

  10. madamsquirrel7

    James Harden in 40 minutes of playing time:

    3-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 5 TO, 9 PTS

    -30

  11. jackgap

    We officially have a rematch of the Bubble conference finals: Lakers vs. Nuggets and Celtics vs. Heat.

  12. Jayymeister

    Idk how the MVP doesn’t show up in a game 7

  13. DiseaseRidden

    Legacy defining game for both Tatum and Embiid. Tatum with an all time game 7 to lead his team to his fourth ECF, while Embiid crumbles and continues his streak of missing it.

  14. abris33

    There’s something so beautiful about the fact that the Sixers and Embiid collapsed when the Celtics just started attacking then with the pick and roll.

  16. Ryan5O4

    Death, taxes, and James Harden in elimination games.

  17. luna_cl

    I’d be embarrassed by this but I haven’t felt anything since the Kawhi shot

  18. Tokennn

    Tatum had to one up curry and get 51 for highest scoring performance

  19. AsPeHeat

    I feel bad for Sixers fans. I know we got our differences, but damn…you guys got both Celtics AND Nuggets fans to deal with tonight 😅

    Good game, Celtics. Let’s have another 7-game series in the ECF! 🔥

  20. BoneyardBill

    WHO KNEW EMBIID WAS A MAGICIAN? WHAT A DISSAPEARING ACT!
    🪄🎩

  21. leranvy

    The Celtics blowing out the Sixers in a Game 7, to keep them from reaching the conference finals AGAIN (23? seasons now) on the back of a historical Tatum performance is my wet dream. The cherry on top was Embiid getting exposed on both ends to do it.

    All to be rewarded with the opportunity to get fucked again by Jimmy Butler.

  22. Playboy9696

    Embiid is the only MVP in history to never make it out of the second round

  23. At6-8FromSyracuse

    Main argument we heard for why Jokic couldn’t win MVP was that he doesn’t have enough playoff success so instead they gave it to the guy who chokes in the 2nd round every year

  24. SixthFan

    Doc Rivers is never beating the Game 7 allegations

    Joel Embiid is never beating the Second Round allegations

    James Harden is never beating the Elimination Game allegations

  27. blindbutchy

    Jayson Tatum’s performance is going to overshadow everything, and rightfully so. But I just want to take a second to appreciate, while I still can, the absolutely vintage game 7 performance from Harden and Doc Rivers.

  28. VegetableBet4509

    The MVP just got held to 15 points in a close out game AND got 50 dropped on his head by another super star

    Embiid legacy game lol

  29. DungeonsAndDuck

    jayson tatum is, humbly, one of the best basketball players in the world.
