Fuck the Lakers

Still bitter over Robert Horry's shot - I take it

 

[True Lakers Fan]

couldn't miss that 1st half...

Just imagine what Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball will be able to do once they have some veteran experience. I am looking forward to saying "I told you so to a few doubters" And I intend to rub it in as much as possible

Kings are experts at fucking up

Looks like the Lakers absolutely nailed that trade with Brooklyn.

the other 29 are wondering how they whiffed on that one...

ups to Magic and Rob...

LOL at all those folks calling Dunn a bust.....turns out he just needed a little.......you know, PT.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I hate to see CP getting hurt like he does almost every season.......he's one of my fave players.

It's too soon but damn......Harden or James for MVP? Both are awesome.

I'll go Harden.

I'll go Harden.

Tough call. Harden is having an amazing year. Lebron is still the best player in the world.

But I would be surprised if it doesn't come down to those 2 in the end.

Holy fuck, Batman!!!!! We agree on something?

Best player and MVP are not always the same thing,

Best player and MVP are not the same thing,

True. However their stats are pretty similar. Harden is scoring a bit more on more shots per game. Lebron has him beat in every other category and is playing exceptionally good defense. Harden is definitely much better on D this year but no one is calling for him to he an all defense guy.

Lebron is shooting 57% from the floor.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Harden, 31.9ppg, 9apg, 5.1rpg, and 1.8spg

James,

They are just about even in apg, Harden averages more spg and shoots a much better FT %.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And the Rockets are the best team in the League so there's that....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Harden takes twice as many 3's as James so of course he won't be shooting the same as LeBron. But, his 3% is very good.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This is why I miss the FN TD's (debates).....

James,

Never heard anyone argue that FT% should be a deciding factor in this sort of comparison.

Harden's FT% is 9 points better than Lebron's. Lebron's FG% is 12 points higher than Harden.

To be clear, I have no dog in this hunt. I don't really care who wins the award and I think both players are worthy. I would probably lean towards Lebron because of his all round play but Harden is a legitimate consideration.

Yeah I agree. I just want Harden to finally get an MVP. Dude been playing like an MVP for 3 straight years now. If Houston finish with the top seed out west then there is no question he gets my vote even though LBJ been out of this world as well.
