ROY this year....someone has to get it

One of the worst pools ever.

Yeah the pool is pretty weak but Bucks and Sixers fans still have good reason to be very excited about having Brogdon and Saric. Weak class or not we both have studs on our hands so im not concerned or anything. Not like its MCW.

Brogden is nice tho..his bball IQ is up there..I seen him play

The very first step he took on an NBA court he had the demeanor and play of a vet. The entire offense is just more crisp when he's in at PG.

I've been a believer in Brogdon since December. ROY should be his. He's already a nice rotational player and will be a solid contributor (health willing) for 10+ years in the league. 2nd round gem. Wish our GM valued that round

I think LeBron James is beyond MVP at this point. He should have his own category of MVGMP

I also think IT is severely overlooked. He did lead his team to 50+ wins and the top seed in the east. that should have weight especially with his team relying on him as much as the other candidates.

He's by far the worst defensive player in the NBA. And not as valuable offensively as the other guys. He's clutch though.

True on the defensive end but you can say the same with Nash. The question is how many games do you see the Celtics winning with him out of the lineup?

 

[essential1]

Celtics are likely a 5th or 6th seed without IT2... Probably just barely over .500

All 27 ESPN picks for awards:

Awards picks: MVP, Rookie of the Year and more http://es.pn/2nJNSrM
via @ESPN App http://es.pn/app

Tallying up these and some other sites votes of writers that have actual votes in this it really looks like it's going to be

ROY - Embiid
MVP - Westbrook
DPOY - Draymond
MIP - Giannis
6th man - Gordon
COY - MDA

They probably wouldn't make the playoffs. IT is the only scorer they got.

 

[the collector]

Jimmy Butler has to embrace the IT challenge and clamp him throughout the series.

why do we need a playoff thread?

This thread is too large to handle the playoff volume. Meth explained it a season or two ago, that because so many people are going to rapidly post in this thread during the playoffs and because this thread is already so big, it just puts a big strain on the thread and site.

 

[P C H]

Is there a 30 for 30 thread?

This calipari 30 for 30 is the goods

And pages start to disappear and all that other stuff.

Remember when we came out of the 2016 playoffs raving about how much we liked Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, and Andre Roberson? Why didn’t they get any better? Why wasn’t Adams as devastating in OKC as the Capela-Nene-Harrell trio was for Houston? Why wasn’t Oladipo BETTER on a much better team? Why did they dump Ersan Ilyasova after only three games, and why wasn’t it a bigger deal when he thrived in Philly and Atlanta? Why such a wasted rookie year for Domantas Sabonis? Everyone acts like Russ is playing with the Washington Generals — he has two top-three lottery picks and three other lottery picks in their playing rotation. Kanter and Oladipo have near-max deals. Adams has a nine-figure deal coming. Ilyasova scored 15 a night on Philadelphia. Those guys sucked? If a superstar guarantees you 45 wins, then Westbrook dragged them to … 47 wins? What?

It's done. It's a wrap. Russ got the MVP, it's over for Harden.
