wasnt robinson hurt for a lot longer than lebron was?

I don't remember exactly, but not the point.
My point is that sometimes 'good' teams can have a real bad year because of injuries , which can lead to that 'good' team getting another very good player.

Not totally, but make the odds of getting the top picks more equal for all the non playoff teams, and that could end what this annually is turning into.
Maybe bottom 8 each 9% chance then divide the other 28% up somehow between the other 6 teams.

I'm not saying you wouldn't.
Its fake gambling money though lol.
If you lose it all, how do you know you will have more?

I won't lose it all.....don't plan on increasing the amounts of my bets.

 

[DJ]

By loan sharking standards, that loan's interest rate is terrible for profit.

So you're not interested......got it....you were Plan B.

*Marks @CitySushi off the list*

Sixers really aren't helping Miami so far

still going with Luka, but Trae's been balling lately...

Yeah, I think Doncic is more deserving also.

Based on what exactly lol

 

[bksballer89]

Luka pre all star #'s were not much better than Trae.

Not a huge difference between 41% and 43%.

Trae took his game to another level since the AS break while Luka remained the same.

It is a toss up IMO. These final 10 games or so should decide it

Doncic

Minus the controversy, this is a lot like last year's race. Young has made it a conversation, but Doncic is going to win the vote in a landslide.

Yep.

 

[Bolts]

Hey, they tried.

We were up 18 and your boys cut it to 2 down the srretch.

They need to try harder

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

It’s the Rookie of the YEAR, not Rookie of the 2nd Half. Therefore, it’s Doncic.

First off, Luka defintely has the hype advantage. And that matters.

But, the numbers are on his side also.

Luka = 21, 7.6, 5.8 on 42.6% with a PER of 19.4 and 4.6 win shares
Young = 18.7, 3.6 7.9 on 41.7% with a PER of 16.3 and 2.5 win shares

If Trae's numbers were a lot better or the Hawks had more wins he might have a shot. But his numbers are worse and the Mavs have more wins in the tougher conference.

This is an open and shut case.

 

[Bolts]

Luka will win, but Trae made it closer in the 2nd half. If Bagley had been playing 30mpg all season he might have been in the mix but his future still looks good.

Its Luka by a long shot

Exactly, I was too lazy to google the stats and do the comparisons.....

LOL.

LOL farrrr from a open and shut case. Luka is not a slam dunk ROY by any stretch but hey if you want to ignore Trae avg 25+ PPG on 45% shooting for nearly 25 games (assuming he keeps this up) then go right ahead but I won't.

Also Dallas had a better team than Atlanta at the start of the season. They're supposed to be better than them.

Dallas O/U was 34.5 while ATL was 23.5 if we're looking at it that way, Young is doing more with less as that team may hit 30 wins while Dallas will struggle to get 35 wins.
