Spurs will need to take the one seed for Whi to win MVP.
I can see this being Curry's last MVP. He's been exposed as a chucker.
Hopefully Kawhi takes Curry winning MVP personal and destroys him in the WCF.
He should get some votes. This team goes as far as he does, tbh.![]()

Did he not get the memo that he has to fill in for Kawhi & face Durant?![]()
Always has been a high IQ player.
To be fair... he said Kawhi is "looking" like the MVP. ..
It's annoying when I read or hear "we all know he's going to win it" that I'd saying Leonard is not even close, absurd
Curry is on another level but so is Kawhi, and he does it on both ends. Seems like he can practically bust games wide open on how his own nowadays. It's amazing how much better and how far he's come.
It's practically a given Curry will win it, but there are for sure games that Kawhi looks like the MVP.
At their best, I'll take Kawhi. But Kawhi's game-to-game defense is getting overrated. When he's matched up against a great SF, he can and will shut them down. But he doesn't have the same level of focus on lesser players. He also cheats off them. It's not as bad as it is with Green where Danny can erase the reigning MVP one can and let a scrub drop 20 on him the next game, but it's there.
Like Kawhi was pretty much just a cog in the defensive machine last weekend, but the tweets and articles made it seem like he led the team's defensive effort. Same thing with Durant in the last OKC game. Early in the season, Kawhi's defense was insane. That's really not the case anymore. He's probably just saving energy for offense and for the playoffs, and that's completely understandable. But people need to call it what it is. Last year at this time, he was a much better defender.
At the very least, Kawhi should get DPOY again. He ain't winning MVP but it keeps them in tie so to speak.
He wasn't even the primary Durant defender in the OKC game. He mainly guarded Durant when Westbrook wasn't in the game(Because that's how OKC's rotations are now). He was making Westbrook look like he couldn't play basketball at times.
i'd rather him win the FMVP this year.
That's the whole point of what I was saying.
I get you. He still made Durant work really hard to score. But he was dominant defensively in that game either way by forcing turnovers from Westbrook and disrupting their offense. You said last year at this time he was a much better defender but he's still human so the trade off of doing more on offense will affect his defense of course. But it's still amazing. 5 more ppg(even more now in recent months) really makes up his slight fall in defense.
Agree, his D on Westbrook was a big factor that contributed to the Spurs win.
I watch this kind of thing when I hear that Kawhi's D is overrated...
I find funny/crazy/stupid that people can't see his impressive help-defense and also how quickly he recovers to his man...Can't remember a perimeter player with his off-ball D.
his "cheating" is part of the gameplan.
He played 40 minutes vs the Warriors. WTF are you smoking.
We get blwon out by 40 without him.
Watch basketball next time brah.![]()
