i think steph is the best player in the league this year
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 2 April 2015 21:05 (nine years ago) link
steph still looks like a bad pick and roll defender to me but maybe the stats don't back that up

oh wait he's first actually
― brimstead, Thursday, 2 April 2015 22:47 (nine years ago) link
Of course monte ellis is 2nd so that stat is worthless lol
Please don't engage me, I'm just being a boob

Uhhhh... the Cavs are +20 wins and the Heat are -20 wins from last year, and people are saying LeBron is NOT the MVP?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 10 April 2015 12:58 (nine years ago) link
i think him having missed that stretch of games due to injury/needing to rest knocked him out of the conversation, whether that's fair or not is a worthwhile question but I think betting against steph is a fool's errand at this point
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 10 April 2015 13:06 (nine years ago) link
taking the first half of the season off altogether hurt his chances imo
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 April 2015 14:21 (nine years ago) link
buuuuuuurnnnnnnn
i wasn't gonna be that harsh but yea he was lackluster by his standards until he took a break and looked hurt, as ppl said a zillion times on here and elsewhere

they stopped doing that this year so you're running out of asterisks
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:34 (nine years ago) link
also there are very good reasons for them to do that even if he is a great defender, chiefly that he has a gigantic offensive workload
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:36 (nine years ago) link
I am genuinely curious who is going to end up third in the official tally. I assume lebron?
― Clay, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:50 (nine years ago) link
well actually 3 is almost certainly born, I guess it's 4 where it gets wonky and you're in sportswriter world. Probably Russ and cp3 at 5.
― Clay, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link
brow at 5
― lettered and hapful (symsymsym), Saturday, 11 April 2015 22:58 (nine years ago) link
well i'm more talking about how the voters end up falling than where i think dudes belong. sportswriters will probably punish brow for lack of experience imo.

OKC's medical staff ran out of juice
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 April 2015 02:41 (nine years ago) link
Xp if kawahi had been healthy all season u might be talking contender for defensive player of the yr
― head clowning instructor (art), Sunday, 12 April 2015 02:49 (nine years ago) link
I think he's a lock for it regardless - who's his competition? realistically I mean. doc rivers' deandre campaign notwithstanding.
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 April 2015 02:54 (nine years ago) link
i think draymond's getting dpoy
― Clay, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:05 (nine years ago) link
draymond's name has been thrown around quite a bit yeah, and bogut. anthony davis?
― #wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:11 (nine years ago) link
its kawhi tho

― #wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:12 (nine years ago) link
oh kawhi should win, just narrative seems to have been leaning in draymond's direction
― Clay, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:18 (nine years ago) link
forgot draymondo, and yea he's played the whole season & is a great defender but...it's kawhi
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:26 (nine years ago) link
kawhi played pretty bad or not at all for most of the year hes not getting any awards
― lag∞n, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:47 (nine years ago) link
lagoon i swear to god if you call kawhi overrated
― k3vin k., Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:49 (nine years ago) link
we must remember that every award vote is in some ways a hot take
― Clay, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:51 (nine years ago) link
goon say cp3 should win every award we all know you want to
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 April 2015 03:52 (nine years ago) link
kawhi is overrated... on ilh

i mean tim duncan is the second oldest player in the whole gdamn league its high time we came to grips with the fact that none of this makes any sense
― lag∞n, Sunday, 12 April 2015 04:01 (nine years ago) link
sometimes i think of the spurs as some kind of cult and tim duncan is their tom cruise
― Clay, Sunday, 12 April 2015 04:02 (nine years ago) link
something like that
― lag∞n, Sunday, 12 April 2015 04:03 (nine years ago) link

he's been making $10m/year for years how is that possible
