Cavs in 6 if no randleSo fellas…
I’m intrigued to know who you guys have winning the Knicks vs Cavs series? And in how many games?
What are your thoughts on this particular series & matchups?
Don’t worry I’m not going to be upset if you guys say the Cavs- Just be honest and objective.
Cavs in 7 with Randle
We young but Spida is best player on the floor and will be the difference

teams would rather have other guys do the offense than Curry. I don't believe the Warriors would have been that dominant in the playoffs without Curry. of course, we would give credit to the role players, but that's exactly what they are....role players.

You don’t “need help” for saying lakers aren’t that great. They are 7th seed, 1-2 games outside of play in. They aren’t some juggernaut.
You “need help” bc it’s probably like 1am where you’re at and you’re on a forum obsessed and rage posting about a 7th seed team.

Timberwolves are missing Naz, McDaniels & Gobert.
Grizzlies missing Adams & Clarke.

You're not sure how Quickley wins? He's been the favorite to win 6MOY for the past 20 games or so lol. It'll be close though I'm sure, and you can't go wrong with either. Brogdon more efficient, but IQ more impactful to his team than MB (which isn't a knock on MB, just moreso the Celtics are so much better) + more games played + memorable games, (albeit they pretty much came when he started(. One knock I think voters may hold against IQ is that he started too many games. If the award was just for how they performed based only on their bench stats, then MB runs away with it in a landslide
Yeah, I can definitely see the games played/minutes angle for Brooks, who's been incredible. But I think JJJ is winning. Anchor of a better defensive team, stepped up huge when Adams went out, better defensive stats, doesn't have Giannis/Jrue, etc..
Lot of these awards are recency bias. MB slowing down + IQ's surge the past 20-30 games will hold ton of weight. Can't really knock a 6th man for having big games when he starts though IMO lol, that's what they should do

I agree. His lack of defense and constant whining is contagious.
He needs to do a better job leading his team. Whoever is the next coach also needs to do a better job keeping him accountable.

I heard the bolded part earlier and I don’t think it is totally fair based on precedent.
But you are right; one of the few awards that is a toss up where both are equally deserving and there should be no qualms either way.

Brad cut it out. Talk about a guy who wasted his career and ducked everything in the league.

Quite the duo of posters here
He’s 24 and was 2nd in the league in scoring on 50% shooting this year.

So the case for Quickley winning 6MOY, since his numbers are worse, is that he starts more games?

The swift turn on Luka has gone too far right He has issues with complaining after every play, seemingly coming into camp out of shape, leadership and effort on the defensive end but those are fixable IMO.
For all his shortcomings he’s still a 32/9/8 guy shooting 50% from the field and 34% from 3. Only 74% from the line but he gets to the line 10-11 times per game
Just needs the right coach and veteran(s) on the team
