I'm tired of Whiteside being a non factor so often.
Is it him, the coaching or the system?
It seems that often times they go forever without attempting to get him involved.

Seriously though, Kyrie is a very good player, better than I thought.

But, the Kyrie for MVP talk is ridiculous. Brad Stevens' system made IT look like an MVP candidate, now Terry Rozier steps in at point and goes nuts 2 games in a row.

If anything, this should solidify Brad Stevens as COY every year. Celtics are a great team, others around the league area lot more worthy of MVP than Kyrie.
I don't disagree about the Kyrie for MVP talk... he's not even top 5 in that reckoning.

That said: Rozier is pretty good. His athleticism is top notch... it was always just a matter of increasing his finesse/skill/shooting. He appears to be making those strides..

Jabari Parker back in action after a one year layoff because of injury.
I'm a fan.

He can really help them right this thing.

But, what do you think about him saying he wants a max deal?

This is a bit different than Embiid who has Super Star talent, tissue paper body.

Harden, LeBron, Steph, Kyrie.....

Who knocks him out of the top 5?

Freak's numbers are bananas.

Team is Doo doo.

Porzingis?....lol

I might actually put Derozan in the conversation or even Durant.

But, Kyrie is top 5.

He has no chance of winning.

But, he's in the conversation.

Irving is definitely in consideration for MVP......especially after Heyward went down in the first game.

Not sure what the Pelicans are expecting out of Okafor.

He's 35 and hasn't played in the NBA since 2013.

Bandwagon both ways.
Weird considering she has been a fan of both Teams, for at least the last 8 years, since I have been posting on Sports Forums with her.

Remind me again when the Warriors started winning chips, and when the Lakers stopped?

* Hint pre-Pau.....I'm talking the Smush Parker, Kwame Brown Lakers, Andris Bierdrens, Maggette Dubs days.

Who the fuck bandwagons for those rosters?

My application is still sitting in your inbox, unopened.

Looks like the Heat are dropping the ball.

Already have the rubber stamp out for your Lakers fan application.

I'm so disgusted with the Clippers that I'm actually thinking about it.

But, my hate runs deep...lol

Heat, Lakers or Suns.

Last 2 for obvious reasons.

First so @Heatles84 will continue to let me smash.

You make fair points... I can't counter your argument here, but I will say this:

Having watching the Celtics all year, they appear (as a team) better able to weather the loss of their best player(s) than other teams are. That's what really causes me to downgrade "Kyrie 4 MVP" in my mind... I've seen numerous times when the C's kept chugging along without him or any one guy.

Part of that is coaching, part of that is the fact that the C's have great PG depth. Heck, Horford can get out there and play some point forward at times...
