2021-2022 NBA Season

And all of that is a result of Giannis. These arguments all exist in pretend-land trying to extrapolate who would do what without this that or the other.

Essentially you’re saying Jokic is the MVP because his pieces suck or are injured.

He makes players around him better, I was on team Embiid for MVP but have come around to Jokic.

Oh, I know Williams is getting it.....just saying who should get it, not who will.

Only if you retroactively give Williams last year's award

Harden for MVP

@fightinfunbags falls for the mvp debate trick every single time lmao

 

[DJ Fieri]

Harden for MVP

LOL.

 

[shopson67]

Nah. He’s high-priced Ricky Rubio. You can see where the Sixers half court needed a PG. Russ is just trash now. Harden isn’t that bad.

Last night, Lakers playing without their top 2 vs Jazz, Harden had Embiid vs Pistons:

Westbrook: 24/6/7 on 50% shooting
Harden: 18/9/7 on 26.7% shooting

 

[shopson67]

Giannis became the all time Milwaukee Bucks leading scorer with that 3...passing Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

...in 3 more seasons lol.

 

[shopson67]

I don’t. That’s a reckless close out and a chance a guy gets hurt in a precarious spot.

...and the Bucks wanted it reviewed to not be a foul lol.

RW has been playing better the last 7 games and it hasn't mattered much.

22ppg, 8apg, and 7.7rpg

52% and 39%.

 

[shopson67]

Maybe because Lebron at 10 years older is putting up very similar stats, and Durant is better than both right now IMO.

 

[shopson67]

The bum ass Lakers are a fucking joke.

They at least hung around last night. Their lack of 3pt shooting (and 3pt defense) is glaring though.

 

[shopson67]

I mean seriously. You can drop the anti/Embiid anti/Sixers troll job and present a basketball opinion with integrity. Joker can’t hold a candle to Giannis.

He can hold this however, and maybe a 2nd?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Gonna be a day today. Fucking seat belt assembly has me in my bag. Biggest fear in life is my daughter in a car accident.

LeBron James and his son Bronny angling to join Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics fan site

Won't happen because they can't afford him but these fan sites are pretty funny.

 

[msgkings322]

Harden for MVP

Wiggins for MVP

 

[dtgold88]

Cade gets better and better each time I see him.

sure does...he's definitely in the race for ROTY IMO.

 

[dtgold88]

Nah that number is off. He’s played more than 12 as a Sixer

yep...looks like 11-7?

 

[dtgold88]

Cavs could fall into this mix, too if guys don't come back soon. Hell, we already are...... only 2 games up on them.

 

[thunderc]

It isn't the best player, it is most valuable to their team.

Take Jokic off the current state of the Nuggets (without Murray and Porter) and they are a 28-30 win team.

Honestly it’s a popularity contest based on a lot of factors, one being have you won before and is there a perception that you should have won one before.

Steph Curry gets re-evaluated today. This is tremendously important for obvious reasons. Hopefully it'll be great news. Best case scenario is he might be able to return for the last two games of the season in my estimation. He needs some court time with the entire crew. To date Steph, Klay and Draymond have played a total of 11 minutes together. That's less than ideal.

For the Warriors to have any success in the playoffs and even get out of the first round, they need the following:

1) Kerr is going to have to put Jordan Poole in the starting lineup. Most likely this will be at the expense of Wiggins.
2) Wiggins is going to need to figure a way to be aggressive. I think a move to the second unit might open that up for him.
3) Draymond is going to need to get back to his earlier DPOY caliber defense. It's coming around, but it's been a slow build so far.
4) Klay is going to have to not hunt shots and hijack the offense. He's still trying to make up for lost time at the detriment of the team at times.
5) Steph needs to be at least 80% health wise.
6) Play Kuminga over Bjelica. Good or bad, he needs to be out there. It's just nonsensical at this point.

Few things are player dependent. Few things are coaching dependent. I think all need to go right to get the ship back on track.
