That’s kind of my point. The MVP is usually given to the best player on the team with the best or second best record, which can be much different than the best player in the league. There are exceptions, but it is the best predictor. Seriously, it was my team, but was Karl Malone ever more valuable than Michael Jordan? Was Charles Barkley?
We didn’t see that side of him too much the last couple yearsHe does..... with the ball in his hands
the team is built much better this year (I say optimistically one week into the season).
Curry is making a huge difference For the Sixers. It’s amazing sometimes what a difference a role player or two can make.We didn’t see that side of him too much the last couple years
I was not happy and didn’t understand when the Blazers let him walk last year. He has the ability to be a great complementing piece in the starting lineup or a spark off the bench.
He’s sooooo slooooowww! But he’s a good fit and he finally had a nice game against Charlotte.
MVP consideration, then Suns must be a 5 seed or better. I never said they were a top 5 team.
What is your Blazer connection?Wife went upstairs to watch the SNF game so now I get to watch the Blazers!
I was a student at Lehigh while CJ was there. Really wish he’d get traded to an east coast team so I don’t need to stay up so late
That makes sense. Damian went to school at my alma mater and is very popular here in Utah.I was a student at Lehigh while CJ was there. Really wish he’d get traded to an east coast team so I don’t need to stay up so late
Glad to hear it! CJ is active with the alumni network at Lehigh and highly regarded.
Thanks so much for pointing that out.Lilliard played at Weber St. a few years after you graduated.
. I met him a few times, because I am very involved with the school still.
Yeah. I liked him with the Suns. But not enough to build a team around him.Oubre is 1/27 from three to start the year
Then Suns made a major comeback. I hope they can get over the top and win this thing.
The Warriors acted out of desperation. It is kind of funny, though. When Golden State was on top of the world, their management bragged that they were ahead of everybody else in team building. They were smarter. It is easy to be smart when you have the most talent. They had the best three point shooting back court of all time right when the three point shot took over the game. it also was catching lightening in a bottle when the cap rose precipitously right when Durrant wanted to divorce Westbrook. Now, they don’t look so smart, building a team with Wiggins and Oubre as the wings.
May want to pass on the Raptors this year, it’s been an ugly start.
Would like to revisit the every other game Blazers. The wrong one showed up tonight.
I think the Raptors are done. They survived losing Kawhi last year, but the additional loss of two good post players this past offseason is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
