The best player in the world who would be most beneficial for the upcoming playoffs isn't always the person who had the best regular season performance that year.Quote:

Harden MVP. Shoulda won it in 2015 also.
Westbrook chases stats. There's no stats for defending. He drops off his man to get a rebound.Quote:

Same shit he has been doing all season long: cheating off guys to stay close to those precious rebounds.Quote:

AT this point, it's hard not see Cavs tailspin, middling record, and their seed in a weak conference, disqualifying Lebron from MVP despite him having terrific metrics/numbers all around..
That's just too much going against him with the level of talent they have: only a second seed, 52-53 win-team playing in the East with two other All-Stars? meh for an MVP considering the seasons the other candidates are having.. ..
LMMFAO at all the Harden is god and WB is a stat padder. Have yall niggas seen Harden play? He is a phenomenal chucker. Nigga will jack a 3pt shot with a 1 on 4 fast break. Harden also has a much, much, much, much better team than the Thunder. Its like apples to pork chops. :rolleyes
Harden doesn't even need to pad his stats in the regular season. The refs do it for him.
:lol dat MVP defense
https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7btW...CGegU/200w.gif
Playoff Harden *Loading* :lol
:lol Frauden
:lol 4/17
:lol defense
:lmao Har_on
:lmao still gonna get MVP thanks to the media
:lmao today's media
Dude is such big game bed-shitter especially when good defenses keys on him :lol..
0-4 at home v Golden State/Spurs..
So after being beaten by the Warriors, Harden and Kawhi have taken hits. Does this mean Westbrook is in the lead? 57 point triple double is incredible even for a stat padder tbh. If Harden loses the MVP then the COTY should go to D'Antoni. He's the difference maker for the Rockets tbh, turning Harden into Nash 2.0.
1. Westbrook
2. Harden
3. Kawhi
Thank goodness you snapped out of it man. You had Harden on the very top of your list for a while, smh...Quote:

Voting probably goes.
Harden gets 70% of the 1st place vote
Westbrook gets 20%
Kawhi gets 9%
Lebron gets the 1%
Kawhi would be a lot closer if narrative was thrown out of the window. The great news for Spursfans, a WCF finish should get the Kawhi bandwagon rolling. He's prime to win one or even multiple MVPs if he plays at the same level for the next five years.
porker doing what he does best, if his not winning it, nobody on his team is winning it
basically gave the mvp and dpoy away in 1 night against the gsw, now kawhi has 8 games left is just out of the equation to do anything...
and I bet yah his going to pull that shit in the playoffs also, if his not getting any credit to win games or series in the playoffs, he makes sure u aint advancing
kawhi has to put up with this pos for 2 more years? lmao kawhi better look for a new team and forget about mvp or championships with the pos still on the team...
I still think he's going to win it, though, tbh..Quote:

Westbrook has the strongest narrative, the strongest stats but the 6th seed is going to hurt.
Kawhi would have had a decent chance had they been closer to 67 wins, but realisticly the probably end up with 61 or 62...
Don't think Harden ever wins again if they lose in the second round or first round. Media is going to eat him alive.
This was Westbrook best chance. The masses supported him, but that six seed stinks despite the fact that they're not really that far away from fourth.
I'm thinking this will be a landslide. The media is all over Frauden's nutsack, it's disgusting. Furthermore, he has a great personality unlike Westbrook. This robbery ranks among the worse of all time (Iverson over Shaq, Kobe over CP3, Malone over Jordan)
Didn't Nash win it too with Pringles as the coach? You gotta give Mike D credit, he builds the most fun regular season teams, tbh...
I don't disagree as we both now how the MVP voting works, that being said, I feel like Westbrook should get a pass. I've never seen dominance like this since Shaq in 2001. Russ is a couple of good teammates away from winning 55 games.Quote:

u give wb mvp but loses in the first round? that wont look good for the league to market its mvp couldn't get out first round playoffs
same thing with harden and kawhi....
Advanced Stat Gooks (half the voters) Hate Westbrook and magnifies his deficiencies.Quote:

But Wesbrook is going up against a decent % of voters that have had inherent bias against him.
Not arguing for Westnrook though. I think He's third behind Leonard and Harden...
But if Westbook isn't going to win this year, he's never going to win.
I'd honestly vote for him because I dont like Harden and it serves Kawhi to lose this Race this year imo.
Can you Imagine the Spurs winning this year and Leoanrd peforming..
The narrative is going to shift on how super underrated he is :Cry
Like no one gives props :cry
He'll probably end up winning Multiple MVPs in the prcocess.
What I do find surpirsing though is that no one is giving Lebron Apology votes after that performance last finals..
In January he wasn't even in the race despite having the third best record in the league at that time, improving his shot, Kevin love missing games etc. :lol
Surprising.
If the Thunder end up crawling their way to the fifth seed I think Westbrook is the favorite. I can still see him winning it regardless but Houston having the third best record really helps him out.

This would be a 2 man race between Curry and Lebron tbh. If Durant never went to Oakland and if Lebron actually gave a shit about the regular season.
Only the last one was a true robbery AI and Kobe had cases ...Quote:

So now Kawhi has punk'd both of the "co-MVPs" on their homecourts.
#KawhiTheRealMVP
Westbrook plays great, then goes into triple double stat chasing mode.
Where's Djohn been this past week? Harden choking det MVP :lol
Last update:
My picks:
1-Kawhi
2-Harden
3-Westbrook
4-Isiah Thomas
How it will probably end:
1-Westbrook
2-Harden
3-Kawhi
4-Lebron
Real MVP Kawhichael averaging 34.5 PPG on 71.4% shooting in two playoff games.
69 pts in 28 shots. :lolQuote:
