2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

The rules have always existed, you just seem ignorant of them or just intentionally obtuse.

So school me. What are the rules. Lay them out for us.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Which are related and relevant.

What’s silly is the constantly evoking criteria for this shit from a bunch of media types who maxed out as JV high school soccer players.

Let's talk about it. I got time today at this airport lol

Who from let's say the top 4 should have got the award over Jokic last year?

Let's look at the best players from those 4 teams and let' hear how they deserved it over Jokic

Miami-Butler
Phoenix- Booker
Boston- Tatum
Memphis-Ja

None of those guys deserved mvp

Embiid, Giannis 4 seed and a 2 seed.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

I don’t think he wins this year

How does he not? Insane statistics on perhaps the best team.

Media voted award (sportswriters and broadcasters, since '81) based on regular season performance. Each panel member votes from 1-5. That's it.

denver EXCEEDED expectations last year.

The media gets bored of voting for the same guy.

bucks were a 3 seed

 

[bksballer89]

if you asked anyone in november 2021 if denver make the playoffs with mpj/murray playing 9 out of a possible 164, most would say no

Exceeding team expectations also matter in addition to stats

Best team? Nope. Tallest midget in the West. Man, wrong day to post this after I just saw your squad (the 6 seed) that didn’t even belong on the floor with the third best team in the East - at home, when the Sixers sat Harden on the second game of a back to back and the fifth road game in 5 days. That was disgusting last night.

Yep. Your answer is telling. It confirms exactly what I said. It’s the whim of no talent ass clowns with floating criteria that morphs from season to season.

denver EXCEEDED expectations last year.

So Sabonis or Fox is in the MVP race this year? No one has exceeded expectations more than them. GTFO with a 6 seed being “MVP”.

yes Sabonis is a top 5 candidate

Cool. Does it change the spirit of my point? All of it is better than a team two games out of the play in tournament

Last I saw, the timberwolves don't have jokic so my mediocre teams game last night has zero to do with this conversation. Nice deflection attempt tho.

You called them the best team in the league for being the tallest midget in a broke ass conference.

Cool. How does that make you MVP of an entire league?

west isn't that bad. They just had a shitty run of injuries when you actually look at it instead of basing everything on standings.

Pels were a top 3 team before zion and ingram injuries.
Kawhi missed several games
AD and Bron missed several weeks
Curry missed several weeks

You look at the east and none of the top 5 had any real significant injuries
