What do ya think?
0 chance.
0.
Next question.
Nope.
If the Spurs get the one seed, win 70+ games and Kawhi averages 30 and 10 from here on out, then I'd say there's a chance.
GSW are not the measure of success for the Spurs. There is no real difference between the two teams strength wise. GS is 33-4 vs. the West. Spurs are 33-5 vs. the West. If anything, the Spurs could be about 60-5 or so without all of the injuries.
I thought the same thing. But even then... small chance lolQuote:

How many crappy threads you going to make in one day?
And I think the Warriors are a lot better without Curry than the Spurs are without Kawhi. Not sure about that but I think that's correct.Quote:

Dabom bro your jealousy really shows through all this activity today lol
He won DPOY by ripping Curry now he can win MVP by outscoring him.:toast
No. He wouldn't get it from the media and he still wouldn't deserve it.
No, but its a lot cliser than people think.
Kawhi still has to win over some analyst who still rely on reputation and stats though even for First Team accolades..its unfortuante, but he still has to play top basketball while Lebron and Durant slips. Looks like a pretty close race for first team between the three..even though kawhi should be a given.
Lebron and KD are established superstars so they might get in just for reputation alone even though hes played better than both of them this year.
spurs would need the #1 seed.
Don't care about Kawhi winning MVP since I have already seen Robinson and Duncan win the award 3 times in my life.
Meh. Let's not forget the whole Peyton Manning (retired on top) vs Cum Newton (thought he was the shit until the Super Bowl happened) thing.
No fucking way. Maybe next year, though.
NoQuote:

Only way Kawhi has a chance at the MVP is if the Spurs finish ahead of Golden State. Simple as that.
And even in that scenario it would take incredible Kawhi games against the contenders to make it possible, which chances still very slim.
The end the media will always say Curry plays alone and is the best player in the world while Kawhi plays with 4 other hall of famers and in a system that molded him.
I don't understand the curry fascination. Leonard definitely deserves votes. He's A 2 WAY PLAYER.
This. If not unanimous- close.Quote:

But the vote is not "The BEST Player"..it is the "Most VALUABLE Player", and anyone and virtually everyone has to acknowledge that GSW could likely not win any series against any playoff team if Curry were not on the team.Quote:

Aldridge still is - the others are not so much, but could likely get us past the first round of the playoffs even without Kawhi.
Curry is a superstar on a team with no other superstars. He is more critical to GSW's success than Kawhi is to SA. This is not to put down Kawhi. You are right that he is a two-way player, but his importance to the Spurs is not quite as dominant as Curry's dominance is to GSW.
And as long as GSW is ahead of us in the standings, it will likely be unanimous.
If we do well from here on out, Kawhi could get another Finals MVP, and that would be be better than the Season MVP, wouldn't it?
No.
Next.
I sure hope SA is at least competitive next Saturday. I kinda feels like we forgot how we got killed the last game. What's really changed? Spurs still haven't dominated anyone. GS still steps up vs good teams. Boris still playing subpar. Etc...
no, and who cares? Me awards are for losers.
Their point differential over their opponents (highest in the NBA) suggests that they are dominating someone.Quote:

Look at it this way.Quote:

kawhi lebron durant is frontcourt right? or do they do the traditional spotsQuote:

Ummmm.....no.
Portland's announcer(Mike Rice) just said he's giving his MVP vote to Kawhi over Curry..
Nice. :tu
Number one seed and 5-7 60 point games ( 2 against gsw) during the last 12 games of the season and maybe there is a chance.
This is the most undisputed MVP award ive ever witnessed.
Kawhi with a great ending may win in other years, but im pretty sure this year they already have the engraving on the trophy and the shirts printed.
kawhi is amazing, but Curry's better.
:lol of course Kawhi has no chance, but I could see him stealing a 1st place vote..
Curry is having a top 3 season in modern NBA history..
He's going to get a couple of votes. Especially if we win 3 out of 4 games.Quote:

If the tables were turned then Curry could have finished strong & snatched the MVP from Kawhi but in the context of this season Kawhi is basically 2008 KG except he will finish 2nd instead of 3rd.Quote:

It won't be unanimous.Quote:
