Y'all tripping thinking Bron will/should go for more MVP's rather than rest during the season before turning into Captain Cleveland in the playoffs.

I'm 100% sure he feels he can beat the Warriors even with KD especially in their first year playing together.
He doesn't have to "go" for it for him to win the MVP though.

If he goes 25/7/6 and the cavs hit 58-60 wins, he's right there for the MVP and would be ahead of KL.
 
KD playing with Steph...Russ & Harden playing for sub par playoff teams and Kawhi not with the popular recognition....Bron will have the MVP in a landslide!!!
 
23/7.8/3.5/2 on 48% shooting "taking a dive" than you living in your own world.

This what happens when you don't look at the big picture :lol. For one, I meant relative to his per 36 against the grizz which dudes were on here hyping up. Another thing, I said big minutes. He had great stats in game 1 v. Okc but he only played 21 minutes. After that he had 3 games shooting below 40%, the spurs lost all 3 of those games and he struggled down the stretch. You can say he had pretty stats overall but take an in depth look and it tells a different story. He didn't sustain his production in limited minutes against an injured team and no player should reasonably be expected to.

Game 3 - 39 minutes, 31-11-3, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 TO, 53% shooting
Game 6 - 39 minutes, 26-6-4, 4 steals, 1 TO, 57% shooting

These were his two best games of the series :lol

-edit-

Nvm, I think I know what you're saying in regards to PER36 stats. He "should" have had something like 40-13-6 :lol. If people use PER36 like that I agree it's ridiculous :lol

I don't believe that, the voter fatigue is still real and Blake/KL are due for breakout years.

I think they rather reward the young star who leads his team to the top 3 in the rest over Lebron again.

Dude brings this up every month or so. It's just a random hate for the PER36 stat. He stays using Kawhi (and a tiny sample size) as an example when he actually proves the stat is pretty legit :lol

Ehhh, while this may be true, you can't really deny it if Lebron is at 25/7/6 and the cavs are like 62-20 or something, which is very possible. What I'm saying is Lebron definitely could very well win it.

That being said, as long as Blake's healthy I would have to go with him. If LAC is 2nd in the west, The Dubs canabalize each other, and LAC finishes ahead of SA,  and Blake puts up like 24/10/6 then I can see it being given to him.

Come again?
 
Doubt CP3 gives Blake enough control to really take the award. He has a shot though.

LeBron hasn't won MVP in a couple years. Voter fatigue would really only apply to Curry IMO.

Yea those guys have to be the top 2.

Bron came in 3rd last year behind Steph & Kawhi.

Steph & KD will split votes, and I doubt the Spurs win 10 more games than the Cavs again.
 
Nab Lebron will miss to many games, and give love and Kyrie bigger roles.. Dude will probably take another vacation to Miami during the season. Dude don't care about meaningless mvp awards anymore.

I don't think PER36 is useless :lol I like the stat to compare two Player A that plays 38 min a game vs Player B that plays 32 min a game. That and/or per possession stats. But I don't like when someone is playing 14 min and ppl bring up PER 36 stats. I remember early on in Drummond's career Big J would post his PER36 numbers and it would drive me crazy :lol

What's hilarious is that Drummond's numbers last year at 32 min a game were better than his rookie PER36 so I can't eem tow it :rollin
 
??? He's played 75+ games 12 out of 13 seasons :lol
not talking bout past years or cause of injury. I said he'll probably take a long vacation this year during the reg season.

He's got nothing to prove in the regular season and he don't care bout them any more.. He'll probably take a couple back to backs off as well.

I think this past NBA Finals has reversed the LeBron voter fatigue and now it's "We wrote LeBron off too soon"
 
Hawks are not better than Cleveland, Indiana, New York, Boston, Toronto or or Chicago. So no.


They def can be better than Chicago, New York and Indiana.
But I'd take Cleveland, Boston, Toronto in the top 3

I got Hawks just making the 8th seed in my playoff predictions...

That would depend on how good German Rondo really is and if we get a rejuvenated Dwight back.

But it's safe to say that they are better the Chicago and NYC. Indiana to be is a wild card. This experiment can go very wrong or very right. The biggest factor here is the new coach and new system.

I got:

Boston
Cleveland
Toronto
Atlanta
Indiana
NYC
Detriot
Chicago

Charlotte and Milwaukee just missing it. Orlando making sensless trades midway through the season.

Very accurate Eastern conference. Yeah, i can't wait to see Indiana.

I'm a Boston fan and lifer but people are really putting my squad up there with high expectations. Y'all really think Boston is THIS good? I'm glad to see that but i don't want to get overhyped and be let down this season. I Hope Boston can nab that no.1 seed or at least run into Cleveland in the ECF's. Not in the first or second round.
 
1. Cavaliers
2. Celtics
3. Raptors
4. Hawks
5. Wizards
6. Pistons (had them fourth until the Jackson injury)
7. Hornets
8. Pacers

Boston is definitely the #1 candidate for a letdown season

But they got Horford & have the best coach in the league
