The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[B Sox]

My guy Sochan won his duel with Paolo tonight

To keep things consistent, you shouldn’t win MVP if your team finishes 6th

(Jokic, Westbrook)

 

[pmatic]

The non-Julius Knicks looks like they've been told to pass to Julius or else...

 

[rolaholic]

Giannis the real MVP

Got 20-9-5 in 15 mins at the half against Phx rn

 

[Mister Meaner]

Good close to the half

Kinda need this win w/ Bk losing tonite.

 

[sohi 23]

It’s officially Giannis vs Embiid now #LeaveJokicAlone

 

[QU!K]

Westbrook and Jokic are bottom 8 records of all time for MVP winners.

There’s almost a 30 year gap between Westbrook and Michael Jordan

Post ABA merger they are bottom 5

Following the tiebreakers will be interesting

Thunder jumped to 8th when I assumed Lakers would be there

Comeback szn in the Pdx.

A glorious 3rd quarter thanks to Deuce McBride.

I’m pretty sure that if I wanted to, I could find a bunch of clips of your daddy Jim Harden playing terrible defense his MVP year.

Exactly why its interesting how Harden has defense brought up as a guard-2 during his MVP campaign . While Jokic as a center wasnt brought up as much

Its really about the media narrative as it changes every season.

 

[pums]

Impossible to defend Giannis and Embiid now.

they bring out their elbows on almost every move and it will be a foul on the defender still if theres contact

 

[sohi 23]

Hart, IQ & McBride are fun as hell

 

[reconic supreme]

Blazers getting ran through, they might need to call the season soon

 

[Mister Meaner]

Knicks Mobb Deep putting in work!

 

[651akathepaul]

Portland is unserious. Dame Calabro deserves better.

Giannis or Embiid the real

Lowe's NBA awards ballot: Winners, runners-up and tight races

Giannis or Harden? Luka or Trae? Zach Lowe makes his NBA awards picks.

"Giannis is not quite Harden as a scorer, or passer. He is unguardable. But the gap on offense, is not big enough to trump the gap on defense.

Harden is a defensive liability even with the Rockets defensive scheme"

Interesting take

 

[elpablo21]

Blazers getting ran through, they might need to call the season soon

Soon?

They did that when Dame was freestyling on the flight delay and then sat out

You’re talking about a guy who won one MVP vs a guy who’s close to winning 3 in a row.

Jrue Holiday

To watch DLo become Steph with dreads is a beautiful thing.

Should the Lakers resign him?
