should it? need i remind you of 1st team all defense tony allen. memphis was always middle of the pack. everybody knew who the best defender in the L was during his tenure.

Yea he never won DPOY tho :lol. Like can you win DPOY without making the playoffs? Has that ever happened? If not then it kinda implies that team record matters, or should matter anyway
 
Defense has its own weird narrative where it’s simply comes down to reputation I feel.

I don’t even know why else Gobert would win it over Giannis. Giannis simply does more on defense lol.

Is there anyone who would actually pick Gobert over Giannis if it came strictly down to defense?
 
Weird how team record doesn't factor into dpoy like it does with MVP

The defensive awards are more stat oriented. Jazz were 2nd in defensive rating this season (105.7) and Bucks were 1st (105.4). Honestly I'd have no problem with either winning. Rudy is number 1 in DRPM while Giannis is 12th. DWS- Giannis (5.5) Rudy (5.7).
 
Embiid got me so heated

dude was all cool to play in the meaningless *** ASG but now not sure if hes good to go for Game 1

if this injury was such a big problem with his knee then who the **** gave him the ok to play
 
It was just funny looking at that chart posted yesterday and seeing how the gap between Giannis and gobert on defense was slim but gobert will still win DPOY while the gap between Giannis and harden on offense was wide but harden has no chance at mvp, which is basically offensive player of the year. Basically **** harden :lol

It's going to be close with DPOTY though. MVP is more encompassing with team success plus numbers historically. It's why so few of the leading scorers in the NBA have one it in the past 20 years.

That's what I'm saying, gobert is only marginally better than giannis but the jazz are a 5 seed and the bucks have the best record in the league. That should nudge the score over to Giannis

Speaking to Keith, the Sixers literally let Embiid do, eat, drink whatever he wants. People have gotten fired in the Sixers organization for telling him otherwise and pissing him off.

Nope. 94-95 Mutombo was the closest its been for a guy winning and almost missing the playoffs.

His team was the 8th seed

he easily got tendinitis in his knee he needs to understand it will never truly heal. It dont help we are a fast pace team and he avg almost 38mins a damn game

its not just going be like poof gone. him resting a few days does absolutely nada for him, that next game he comes back the pain will still be there lingering in his knee

not having a legit back up C to help is so ******* dumb.. this team never fails to disappoint and playoffs aint even start yet

His career will be short if this is the mentality he's operating with. Can't take suggestions or criticism from people that know more than yourself is the fast track to hard times and failure.

Yikes. Sounds like Shaq at least with the diet portion and taking care of his body.
