[quote name="Kal-El-8"]Double standards going around I see..

You're right.

Need to start cracking down around here.

Meth will be made aware if AT's misstep, I assure you.

And I'll start holding you just as accountable as you want him held. No double standards.

fair = fair

Good luck.[/quote]

That's fine.

AT will mess up far before I will

[quote name="Kal-El-8"][quote name="DarthSka"][quote name="Kal-El-8""][quote name="FinallyFamous"]You guys just disagree with him just to do it.. hop off his sack.[/quote]Wow.

How isn't this a warn warranted comment? darthska

Plus he called someone stupid, of which I've done and gotten warned. He should too

Clevelanders [/quote]You've also called people things you weren't warned for.

Don't even act like your every misstep has been accounted for.

It's not that serious, and you're not aware of everything that happens between mods/admins.[/quote]Meth catches damn near everything I say.

I don't eem post that much tho.





Still though.[/quote]This is the NBA Season thread. Please stay on topic. if you take issue with something, you can PM Meth directly, or any other staff member.

Back to NBA talk, please.

Will lebron join jerry west as the only players in nba history to be awarded finals mvp in a losing effort?

No. Assuming the Spurs close, Duncan will get it.

 

[shoelyesses]

yea or one of the big three.... getting a mvp in a losing effort is a thing of the past like being a player coach. just cant see it happening in the modern era

 

[awwsome]

Duncan deserves MVP just for shooting 90% in a Finals game.




Honestly Pop deserves MVP.

 

[finallyfamous]

I think it depends on if someone on the Spurs has a huge game tomorrow, but if they win like they have been it'll probably go to Kawhi.

Diaw won't get it just because

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea I know they won't give it to bron . Just something that came to me when everyone was discussing who on the spurs should get it but couldn't really decide on a clear cut favorite

But nt would go down in a blaze of glory if lebron won finals mvp

 

[awwsome]

Diaw won MVP in a French league averaging like 7 a game.

 

[ill steelo]

If they win game 5 & Kawhi virtually matches Bron for the third straight game then it's a no brainer.

Cavs were never a high powered team, they just had Lebron.

Magic were the better team, Dwight was amazing in 09, SVG > Mike Brown and they had a million shooters.

#1 team in the league with 60+ wins and coasted through the first two rounds = high powered team.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Happy to see DFish get a coaching job. I just hope he wont used as Phil's puppet.

They were LeBron and a bunch of role players plus they were in the East.

Prohk looking at offers to sell the Nets? Word?

You are missing the point. 

They were a powerhouse going INTO the series with the Magic....obviously in retrospect they weren't as good as we thought they were...but comparing this years finals match up to that years ECF it is similar...

Miami, like Cavs were favored and had a VERY successful run up until they played the Magic/Spurs and were exposed (assuming Spurs win today)

 

[flyerthandelta]

Melo going to shave the Heat? Or nah?

Mabe they weren't as good as YOU thought. From top to bottom I never looked at them as a championship team.

Spurs have been favored since the beginning of the series and were the #1 overall seed in the NBA.

I see the comparison you're making but it's not exactly apples to apples.

So many people thought Miami would sweep or win in 5

So many people thought Miami would sweep or win in 5 

I still have no idea why.

 

[pmatic]

I had the Spurs winning in six (five if not for my respect of LeBron) but the first two games had me slightly worried. All the turnovers weren't encouraging.

I had miami in 6. The first two games were so encouraging towards my prediction man |I

 

[big j 33]

I had Miami in 7, so there's still a chance

I thought that the Heat would steamroll the Spurs, and it had nothing to do with the quality of either team. It had everything to do with the refs falling for Wade's flopping and LeBron's whining.
