Need a win tonight vs the Hornets. After that loss to the Pistons it seems Washington is just cursed on the road this season.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Please, let Embiid be an All-Star. Feel like he'll truly hit the main stream if it happens. Put him in the skills challenge too or something

I never thought there could be another Shaq, in regards to the persona, charisma and dominance on the floor

 

[MVP]

Forgot Joel, I changed my last pick even though they're likely going with a Hawk whether it's Millsap or Dwight.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Millsap over PG probably

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

New contest time.

I'm going to step my game up for this thread, I've been moving and my work schedule gives me very little internet time.

The contest: Correctly name all of the remaining All-Star reserves. Not the biggest of challenges so if we have multiple winners then I'll do a random drawing to find out winner.

Just @me on here whenever you come up with your remaining All-Stars. If you have already given your predictions and I missed it, just restate them and @me so I can keep track. 


I'll also run a contest for the All-Star weekend, correctly name all the winners of the contests, plus some other random prop bets and we'll make this weekend more fun for us NTers watching.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Gobert
Boogie

Executive of the year: definitely gets my vote

 

[tyevvyotcu]

gobert should be dpoy

 

[nick.]

Gobert, Draymond, & Kawhi will all win their fair share of DPOY awards over the next 15 years.

All 3 are more than deserving this season.

Has to be Draymond after he got robbed the past 2 years.

 

[bballkid11]

Has to be Draymond after he got robbed the past 2 years.

Might be the case but IMO he is 3rd on that list of 3.

 

[JD617]

He didn't get "robbed." It could've gone either way last year. Kawhi was deserving too.

 

[freeze]

draymond 1st this year. so many clutch *** defensive stops down the stretch. Him and KD are tough playmakers defensively don the stretch. Blocks be in abundance.

KD should finish in top 5. Boy D stepped up, or just getting noticed now.

I'm really impressed with KD's defense this year. Not that his defense was bad, but I feel he's brought his defense to another level.

 

[Fozz]

Will Russ still act the way he does during the All-Star Game? Not pass the ball to KD at all? lol

I see your point.

I hope the media plays off KD not giving a damn about Drake Night

Everything about KD's game is better this year.

He's able to showcase every level of his game in GSW. 

It's the main reason that I think he will win MVP.
