Suns are a Raja Bell FT away from being on the same pace with the Spurs, pal...
That's not really my main point. All I'm saying is that Duncan and Nash are very close in the two categories mentioned in the intial post (stats and winning record, which is dumb to talk about in December but I digress) so couldn't the fact that Duncan impacts the game defensively, while Nash does not, be looked at as a bit of a tiebreaker in terms of their MVP chances?
This is Kobe's MVP to lose IMO.
seet God no
Winning it 3 times in a row without ever taking your team to the Finals, even, would be a joke.
If Lakers can keep it up, then perhaps. Though I have a feeling Lakers will eventually hit a slump and revert back to their old selves. I think this year it's going to be between Lebron and Dirk.
both of those choices suck
What would you do if LeBron won it?
Throw in Howard as the dark horse.
If I had to pick one player to start a franchise, it would come from the pool of Howard, Kobe, Lebron and TD. I'd rank them like this: TD, Kobe, Howard then Lebron.
How about Lebron, Dirk, and Manu?
Howard's great, but I'm not sure how far the Magic will go. They'll make the playoffs just off the fact that the East is very weak. I saw him against the Sixers last week and the guy is amazing, his rebounding is money and his shooting and passing skills are above average as well. He reminds me a bit like a young TD. Howard + Jameer Nelson is going to be an exciting young duo to watch.
Last year if Duncan was healthier or Kobe's team was better they may have won it.
I expect the same this year.
Dirk was deserving, Nash said he would have voted for him last year.
Dirk is never deserving - let's not kid ourselves here... Nash was just being nice and trying to share with everyone - even his less-than-talented-can't-win-former-teammate
Dark horse MVP candidates depending on their teams' final records:
Yao: PPG 25.5 | RPG 9.5 | BPG 2.0 on 53% shooting
If Houston can get around 55 wins (although less likely with an injured TMac).
Boozer: PPG 22.4 | RPG 12.2 | 3.1 APG on 56.6% shooting
If the Jazz get a top-four seed.
-Even though Dirk's stats may be actually be better, I think that given his team's previous success he'll only win it if the Mavs are the 1 seed in the West.
Boozer has potential - only Chinese voters will vote for Yao (which is why he's an All-Star starter every season)
Nash won't ing win it again...
You've said that 3 times now - thanks for the ing insight... provide something more than just a random opinion... we all don't think he will win it, but it's sad that he won't in his best statistical year so far.
What's the point of this post anyways?
It's not an opinion... It's a fact.
The other 1 time I said he wouldn't win it was an opinion....
#1 - not a fact... still your opinion until the votes come out in May
#2 - You even admit to repeating yourself
#3 - You used the term " in" so I wanted to retort with similar language
You're bias, and you're certainly acting like a homer.. the fact that you're a PHX fan makes this all funny.
And it's called sarcasm....
so how about you stfu and try not to be such a homer all the time while trying to hide it.
Wow - you use the term homer twice... coming from a Spurs fan I'll take that with a grain of salt... good thing you're pretty ing stupid (I'm basing this on your broad range of posts on this site) or else I might be more offended.
Everyone on this board knows I stand up for the Spurs and the Suns (never the Mavs), and I stand up for Nash and Duncan and Ginobili (but I hate Brent Barry and his propensity to go off on the Suns), but when you come in and say "Nash won't in' win it again" as your complete argument, it pisses me off enough to retaliate with something equally asinine. That's not being a homer, it's simply being a poster who demands more from bags who offer no insight.
When people post here, they don't post with the intention of making an argument by your standards....
Not everyone here posts what you want to hear you know...
And tell us why he can't win mvp.
Nah. If he couldn't win it last year putting up 35.3 a game and scoring 81 while leading LA to that turnaround from the disasterous season before, he'll never get it. The MVP is really becoming a joke. Bryant should have run away with the MVP vote last year, but the media was in love with Nash... just like Shaq was easily the MVP in 2001 and Tim in 1999, but the media had such hard-ons for Iverson and Malone.
Ok, you're dumber than I thought... I guess you were schooled by a Texas public school, and your teachers let you write 1-sentence essays with no evidence to back it up.
I'm not saying I have standards - I'm just saying you need to bring more to the table than ripping on my team's point guard with nothing to back it up. I'm not saying he will win it again, but I entertain well-thought out reasons why he won't from haters such as you.
