The criteria for MVP is who is most valuable to their team.Quote:

Cavs have been mediocre. Lebron not being able to elevate his team's game in the shitty East shouldn't be rewarded, tbh.Quote:

Not sure how LeBron is supposed to elevate his team's play while he's sitting on the bench.
Cavs are like 6-6 since Love went out. Cavs as a whole have had kind of a let down season. You don't win MVPs when your team underperforms.Quote:

Harden is the worst clutch performer of all MVP candidates. :lol..His style of play in close games the single reason why I am skeptical of the Rockets postseasons chances..
I honestly believe that if a team ran a total gimmicky season where 4 other players just never touched the ball, and one player had all the stats, even if the team never won a game, that player would be heralded as a great player by some in the media and some faggots on this forum.Quote:

Anything to get numbers that fool casual fans and make talking points during contract negotiations.Quote:

when they lose games? his coasting...should reward mvp for coasting?
:lol That is not an average percentage for an MVP at all. The fact that one of the worst MVPs of all-time won it while shooting that badly doesn't normalize it.Quote:

It is average for a SG. How many SG win MVP? I'll wait...Quote:

Lou Williams should be MVP tbh. Him and Gordon are absoulte mosnters in the Houston System. Every Guard in that System is a nightmare.
Gordon came back down to earth some time ago and Lou actually hasn't hit his stride in Houston.. I wouldn't claim they are absolute monsters.Quote:

Yeah, I was at the game. He fudged that crunch time finger roll. He should have flushed it.Quote:

:rolleyes my player is better because he does not catch and shoot, he creates his own 36% crap FG.... :lmao oh boy

I was surprised too.
Also, trail defender made really quick recovery and was siding Kwa.
Combo of two is why chose finger roll.
