[Vincent Van Goat]

if you make it regular season + Playoffs people will just give all the weight to the playoffs.

That's what people do anyway

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

COMPLETELY disagree, mostly because it is HIGHLY LIKELY that the strongest candidates for MIP & ROTY every year aren't in the playoffs.

-foe

Well yes, you would still need to insert logic into it

 

[osh kosh bosh]

That's what people do anyway

nah not really. thats what internet sneaker forum posters do.

most reporters at least try not to do that. if they did Jokic wouldn't win it twice.

I wasn't referring to the voters at all, which is a whole different topic

For MIP, the real candidates (Bane, Poole and Maxey) are in the playoffs. For ROY, the main candidate (Barnes) is in the playoffs

"every year", not just this year. You can't build criteria for an award based off one year. Gotta think every year.

[Based Jesus]

The playoffs already have the ultimate reward, a championship

 

[freeze]

Westbrook wasn't the real problem in OKC.

Or LA.

But they ain't ready to be honest.

 

[friscostylez]

**** maybe westbrick wasn't the problem in htown either

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The playoffs already have the ultimate reward, a championship

That's a team distinction/award but it's ok, it's not a big deal that the awards are only regular season

It makes it funner for fans to slander "undeserving" players during the Playoffs anyway

 

[freeze]

Can we let the warriors face a real team before the sexuals get to feeling on themselves

They're facing a team with the MVP. The team you said would beat them in the first round.

Is it oochie wally Wally or is it one mic?

 

[freeze]

I don't blame Ben. Sometimes coming off that extended PTO you need even more time off for the jet lag to catch up

All that warzone and 2k for the last year got his thumbs cooked. He gotta get therapy and acupuncture on his phalanges. Poor guy.

 

[N41D]

Can't get a read on that Utah team other than they're cooked

The Jazz were dead in the water until Rudy went to the bench. As soon as he sat the Jazz went on a wild run and come back

The whole team is **** though, to be clear. It's everyone's fault and it's lame because individually they are talented

Lots of good players.

Lots of guys that play one way and give you nothing on the other end.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lots of good players.

Yep. They did a 180 on their core

The complaint on them with Rubio, Crowder and Favors was that they didn't have enough offense

They leaned into offense like crazy after that with Conley, Bogs, Clarkson and then when the Pandemic hit they re-strategized their entire philosophy by shooting as many 3's as possible

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

How many of these were Brandon Clarke or because of Clarke. He had 4 O boards but seemed like way more especially to close the game

 

[freeze]

Chokic is incredible. I wish he was actually playing poorly so it would fit. But he's not, so it doesn't.

 

[clyde the glide]

They don't need to change the criteria for the award they just need to get it right. Most years they do but this year is an exception.

 

[freeze]

NotHiMVP

 

[pmatic]

 

[darthska]

Or LA.

But they ain't ready to be honest.

The problem is time guy who lead 3 different franchises to titles? That's where you're going?

He was a part. All were a part. Except AD. I can't blame a man for getting hurt.

Although him being hurt was a part of why they were trash af. But like 10%. There were lots of reasons they were bad this year.

 

[antidope]

I've never seen KD get stripped so many times in my life. Its surreal to watch.
