Mip 2009-2010

[Brazil]

What are your favorites for the MIP title so far ?

Noah can be a good candidate ?

[endrity]

I am pretty sure it will be Josh Smith.

[Pistons < Spurs]

He's missed alot of games to injury, but my choice is still Yi Jian Lian.

hard to say as you said he missed a lot of games. I don't see him as a MIP. Josh Smith is a candidate

[Kai]

I second Josh Smith.

[anonoftheinternets]

carl landry? he was always good, but is now a "star"? 20+ points in so many games? Mr 4th Quarter? big reason why the rox are managing to win....

[Darthkiller]

Goran Dragic

[Brazil]

What do you think of Ariza ? I think he can be MIP mostly due to the fact that his playing time and responsabilities increased a lot.

[iggypop123]

not while shooting 37%

[sonic21]

Josh Smith.

Noah was a monster a few weeks ago, now his D is not as good.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Josh Smith?

He's definitely playing smarter and more efficient but statistically he's not offering anything that will garner him votes for most improved.

lol yi is not mip

dude is posting up meaningless stats on a lottery team

[Brazil]

My favorite is still Noah if you think MIP not only statiscally wise. Remember last year he was a burned head with a lot of locker issues very imature, look at him now he is working hard showing a low profile during the storm but he also can step up as a leader and say stfu at Lebroun. What a difference ! Last Year he was a waste of a pick now he is one of the young guys that every team would love to have !

What? So because he's playing more minutes and chucking more shots he should be MIP? That's retarded, the only reason some of his stats look better is cause he's playing close to 40 minutes a game rather than 25 like last year and he's getting way more shot attempts. 16 points on 16 shots shooting 37% overall and 31% from three isn't an improvement at all. His D and rebounding are good but they were just as good last year.

Goran Dragic

I don't know if you're joking or not, but no way. He's better than last year for sure, but I doubt he's near to being an MIP candidate.

[Pero]

If Ariza gets it it would be a joke. Unless he improves a lot from now on.

I agree with you nevertheless we have to recognize that he has been an asset for Houston: if the team has a good record without T-Mac and Yao, we can consider Ariza contributed a lot. He is shooting poorly but at least he is not hiding himself and take his responsabilities. Overall I think Ariza for Artest was a good move for Houston.

[Leetonidas]

Carl Landry

[mardigan]

Monta Ellis, unless your not allowed to win the award twice.

[mardigan]

Marc Gasol should be at the top of most lists as well.

[Brazil]

so Gasol / Ellis / Noah / Landry / Smith, we have a top 5 ?

[Venti Quattro]

JJ Barea

[Xylus]

Carl Landry gets my vote.

[Brazil]

JJ Barea

speaking about the mavs and pg somebody knows they don't play Beaubois anymore ? The kid has a lot of upside and I think he needs a little bit of PT.

[The Franchise]

carl landry? he was always good, but is now a "star"? 20+ points in so many games? Mr 4th Quarter? big reason why the rox are managing to win....

And shooting 60%.

[mountainballer]

some more who deserve consideration IMO:
Danilo Gallinari
Aaron Brooks
Jason Thompson
Kendrick Perkins
