Miami losing actually works out fine, they trying not to face the Nets in the first round. No one should want #1 or #2 right now
This is a very simplistic way of viewing it.
If he's not scoring, what is his benefit to the team since an overwhelming part of their success is contingent on him scoring? This isn't like me saying when he's out due to injury. I'm talking about when he's not getting the benefit of the refs whistles and might be struggling that night,I guess his threat to score is always there so that at least keeps the defense honest.
Again, just cause I don't think he's an MVP isn't a knock on the season he's having. He's having a good season, just not MVP worthy imo
He’s not in the discussion
The three dudes I said literally doing much more than him in EVERY category and they play so good ass defense.
Mans is averaging 5 assists a game, so he making plays.
Plus his defense is above average.
But also, hes the best player on the best team.
Best player on the best team by itself is a criteria.
The best player on the best team doesnt always win, but was always in the convo.
Now yall saying it aint enough to get him in the convo. Which is cool. Just pointing it out.
Suns are a sum of its parts.
I don’t even disagree with this.
This part of the reason I hate MVP historically. The criteria constantly changes year to year.
Shit is wildly inconsistent
His defense is not above average. It’s average at best
And he’s averaging 1 more assist than Embid and less than the other two that’s playing PF and C
He’s just a scorer and nothing wrong with that
Booker an above average defender?
On who?
Book got the best defensive rating of any shooting gaurd this season.
Book was a trash defender.
Hes been above average for 2 seasons now.
Every statistic shows hes above average. Yall free to find a statistic to prove me wrong.
Lmaooo. Not a shot at you two, but the NBA really has a problem. No one is paying attention to or watching any games from the best team in the league

I said this I think two days ago I agreeI honestly think teams should be trying to face Brooklyn early in the playoffs (if they even make it in. I know barring injuries they will. lol) as opposed to later rounds.
My reasoning behind my thought process is you will catch them while they are still trying to figure lineups and each others games out in the early rounds. If they stay healthy and make it to the later rounds they will have better continuity. Nash will have more time to figure out the best lineups to play because he will have seen it work against good competition in more meaningful situations. The big thing is can they stay healthy.........
