Kolek planning to go pro
First, these were all words said in the Heat of battle. So don't read too much into them, and my guess is that they have already talked it out or forgotten about it.Second, Butler's not wrong. Haslem has played in 11 games this year, pretty much all in mop-up time.Third, Butler's career VORP=38.2 Haslem's=0.2 Everyone knows who the better player is / has been.
Jimmy doesn't win important games though, Haslem has.Checkmark: Udonis.
So I don’t think it’s ever been explicitly said by anyone but we all know why Al Horford and Jaylen Brown didn’t play in Toronto right?If that’s the 3-6 matchup, wouldn’t hate putting some money on the Raptors since two starters won’t be available for half that series
I see that Giannis dropped 40, 14, 6, and 3 in Philly? Perhaps the MVP discussion should begin and end with him?
Him and Jokic.
My MVP rankings:1. JokicFirst in Win Shares, WS/48, Box plus/minus, PER, and VORP2. Giannis Second in all of those categories 3. Embiid 5th in WS/48, 3rd in the rest of those categories
Embiid will be the MVP, Book it.Giannis will not get it for the same reason that Jordan didn't it more often.
If Embiid gets it, would be quite the travesty over the other two.Not quite on the level of Colon getting Cy Young over Santana years back. But still really bad.
Was that block by Giannis better the one on Ayton last year? I get that Jokic has little help around him but no GM or coach would take him ahead of Giannis. The same is true of Embiid. Do the voters realize Giannis can guard 5 positions?
Last night was huge, but the Ayton one was otherworldly. He was looking at the ball as it was released. He turned, found it in the air, jumped and somehow high pointed it without making contact with Ayton. Last night was an incredible defensive play but fairly straight forward otherwise (which is hilarious cause 90% of players in the league can't make that play).
They are all so good that no one talks about Booker, Curry, or LeBron - who is having a career year at 37 years old. I think the last time MJ averaged 30 pts. was when he was 32.
