Son of Kobe making daddy proud. Philly offense was trash in the fourth. Game 7 should be fun.

I didn't say his excuse ws valid, just that that was the excuse he used. To be honest I'm not sure which is worse, him leaving Jokic off his ballot or getting the ballots mixed up.So what was his vote for all nba first team then?
I ain't buying it. He wanted Embiid to win and was trying to screw over Joker.
I didn't say you did. One is incompetence and the other is malice so I think the malice is definitely worse hence why he used the incompetence as an excuse.I didn't say his excuse ws valid, just that that was the excuse he used.

I actually think incompetence is worse. There's many a player over the years didn't get on with another player or just flat out didn't like or rate a player. Members of the media having their favorites happens all the time. Bias is actually quite common. But the whole premise of having a vote in the first place is that you are knowledgeable enough and care enough about who and what you are voting for to deserve one. Based on the excuse he gave they should take away his vote for good because he obviously didn't put much thought into it or in simple terms just didn't give a damn.I didn't say you did.

Well either way, he should pay more attention to that shit, specially when somehow they have power to influence other people money/future, JB case for example.Jackson did claim it was an honest mistake, but like you say it does come across as a "dog ate my homework" type of screw up. He was on Sirius radio this afternoon and he tried to say that it was a mix up between the MVP ballot and all NBA 1st team because his ballot had one center (Embiid), two forwards (Giannis, Tatum) and two guards (SGA, Mitchell).
I agree. Like I said if what he said is true he doesn't deserve to have a vote.Well either way, he should pay more attention to that shit, specially when somehow they have power to influence other people money/future, JB case for example.
Seems so, let him flap around with arms , such a clueless stubborn donkey, at 2-2 he didnt adjust one bit, pressure on Book from the moment he touches a ball was JM and KCP request, not to mention regardless how bad Jeff Green is, being in minus by 100, still untouchable.@R'hllor it appears Malone losing his voice is the biggest weapon the Nuggets have. It would appear that if he can't speak for the rest of the playoffs you guys should be a shoe in for a chip.
Certain type dont like Jokic, when it comes to basketball, nothing can be done about it. Keyshawn is their king.If you don't like Jokic, you don't like basketball.
They're absolute idiots in my book. Some of them base it on racism (Perkins for instance).Certain type dont like Jokic, when it comes to basketball, nothing can be done about it. Keyshawn is their king.
Think he deserves to stay at least for next season when this roster gets filled with it needs, not saying he didnt make mistakes, seems he also had trust issue outside starting 5.Monty Williams is on thin ice in Phoenix after tonight. He's taken them as far as he can, even if the roster construction isn't his doing and playing your superstars 40+ minutes per game unless it's a blowout was never going to work.
And Ayton....a soft player in a big man's body playing a big man position. He's a big problem for Phoenix as well.
Denver is locked in and playing good team defense. But we know the next round, whistles will dictate more of the games.
Not gonna comment on that but when you use shit like eye test, advanced stats while ignoring traditional stats etc. its a sign of certain viewer type. Media also not helping because its easier to sell simple washed narratives around basketball.They're absolute idiots in my book. Some of them base it on racism (Perkins for instance).
It's hard to see how much better the roster will improve, knowing it needs 2 wing players and quality depth. And CP3 is a year older.Think he deserves to stay at least for next season when this roster gets filled with it needs, not saying he didnt make mistakes, seems he also had trust issue outside starting 5.
When it comes to Ayton, think there is a lot of bs dropping at his door, when you see whole picture starting from not getting a initial contract.
I understand why you wouldn't but you surely didn't miss the recent MVP discussions between Perkins and Reddick.Not gonna comment on that but when you use shit like eye test, advanced stats while ignoring traditional stats etc. its a sign of certain viewer type.

Whole Perkins thing was pure bonkers, ESPN is the worse, at least on FS1 there some comedy compared to them but stat padding shit with him being white as a reason, with stating how voters are white/racist in huge majority while screaming its a fact turned whole MVP discussion into something really ugly.I understand why you wouldn't but you surely didn't miss the recent MVP discussions between Perkins and Reddick.
Tbh, there are so many YouTubers who produce unbiased and quality content, the main media should be ashamed of themselvesWhole Perkins thing was pure bonkers, ESPN is the worse, at least on FS1 there some comedy compared to them but stat padding shit with him being white as a reason, with stating how voters are white/racist in huge majority while screaming its a fact turned whole MVP discussion into something really ugly.
Whats their cap space without trading anyoneIt's hard to see how much better the roster will improve, knowing it needs 2 wing players and quality depth. And CP3 is a year older.
Franchise doesn't totally believe in Ayton, it's very clear and he doesn't command the respect due to his inconsistency or whatever else.
100%, no doubt, everything spins around big markets ( i get it why ) for them but its such a limited safe approach, there are so many good stories around and thats even without talking about basketball in real sense.Tbh, there are so many YouTubers who produce unbiased and quality content, the main media should be ashamed of themselves
He did it with Ben Simmons but this is worse as there is a game 7. Dirty laundry should never be aired like that, it's your teammate, the series isn't even overWhats the fecking point by Embiid coming out in public QQing about how he didnt touch a ball in last 4 minutes before game 7, call Harden out (i guess) in a locker room. This whole quick drawn throwing others under the bus, so nobody blames him getting a bit old. Harden wasnt bad bad in this series.
Embiid is such a monster of a player but damn the way he comes out sometimes is just a head scratcher.
Dunno its weird.He did it with Ben Simmons but this is worse as there is a game 8. Dirty laundry should never be aired like that, it's your teammate, the series isn't even over
Traded away all their depth for KD then never had him healthy enough for him to gel then lost Chris Paul to his usual playoff injury. They bet KD could still be the best player in the world and he wasn't. Booker was miraculous in games 3 and 4 and they barely won those...What happened to the Suns?
I'm convinced Clippers would have beaten them if they had PG and Kawhi healthy. Hell they gave Suns a game in 3 games (was it) without Kawhi.Traded away all their depth for KD then never had him healthy enough for him to gel then lost Chris Paul to his usual playoff injury.

Oh yeah, I think everybody believes that too. But then again Kawhi and PG haven't been reliable from a health pov for a while now, so...I'm convinced Clippers would have beaten them if they had PG and Kawhi healthy. Hell they gave Suns a game in 3 games (was it) without Kawhi.
Shot like Kobe as well with the 5-21 FG%Son of Kobe making daddy proud. Philly offense was trash in the fourth. Game 7 should be fun.
I don't see a strong argument for Durant anymore. Steph lead the Warriors to the title last year when they had no business winning it. And Durant has struggled without the Warriors (understandable given his injury).I think now almost everyone has curry higher than Durant on their list right? Cant think of any argument.
