Oh I'm sorry I thought it was called Most Valuable PLAYER not most valuable winner. This dumb doorstop pee pee nigger doesn't realize that if it was truly about winning then LeBron or Kawhi would be the MVPs.

I hate how wishy washy these media people are.

They came into the season predicting Westbrook would win, they changed the narrative when Harden got a 50 point triple double and they looked dumb when they doubted D'Antoni because the Lakers and Knicks fiascos, now they're back to Westbrook after he just kept playing at the same level consistently throughout the season more than Harden and had mind blowing historical games at the end of the season.

I've been team Westbrook all year and I hate how this shit has become reactionary for some reason when it was clear Westbrook was doing more than any other player in the league with less to work with and a smaller margin of error that could've ended his season and playoff chances. His clutch time stats are historic and how he's performed in these times with so many more close games than anyone else in the last 20 years is amazing.

Why do so many Celtics fans dislike Isaiah Thomas?

Is it because he's cocky?
I don't understand.
>>
>>75146412
He's a manlet so a lot of stigma is attached to him, specifically with how much worse he performs against playoff defense. Also he is probably not going to be a career Celtic. I don't think Boston is going to offer him a max contract when his contract is up, but somebody else will. So he'll probably bail for the extra money. And if they draft Fultz or Ball this year then his place on the team will become questionable.

That stuff I can completely understand, but there's a decent demographic here that just squarely don't like the player.

Think he's awful, should be a bench player, overrated, stuff like that.

It blow me away. It is not a coincidence that after specifically trading for IT, we went from a sub-.500 team to a playoff team. It's not merely coincidental that he is the only consistent offensive scorer on the team. It's not merely coincidental that this team has a horrible losing record without him and cannot properly function without a proper passer and scorer heading the team.

I can understand feeling indifferent to him. I can understand disliking his defense. And I can understand everything you said.

But there are a lot of sports-talk-show-radio-listening, loud-beer-bellied idiots that legitimately hate him here.

How much must it suck to be Oscar Robertson right now? His claim to fame is "that guy who did the impossible and averaged a triple double." He's 78 years old, doesn't have much life to live, and will die knowing some random millennial has killed his legacy.

>>75148439
He's actually been vocally supportive of Westbrook and looks happy to complacent in all his interviews.

He's not petty.

Inside it hurts, though, definitely.

The alternative is looking salty as fuck. Even Hank Aaron congratulated Barry Bonds, a dude who had to juice to beat his record.

>Rockets campaigning for Harden by trashing Westbrook

just like how they treated Lin and Parsons, the Rockets keep proving they are a no-class organization. The Spurs would never do anything like this.

speaking of the Spurs, the the MVP is about MUH WINS then Kawhi is hands down the MVP anyway.

If you and others in this thread don't believe westbrook/every other huge star in the nba are juiced to the gills then y'all are fucking morons.
Stephen Jackson admitted to smoking weed all the time and being high for games on multiple occasions. Marijuana metabolites last in the human body longer than a short ester of testosterone or boldenone like the propionate ester. They have scheduled drug tests. So they just don't juice for one or two weeks depending on their ester and then go right back to it when their tests are over. Also they test somewhere near the last third of the regular season for the last time and don't test before the playoffs.
Hence " " " Playoff LeBron" " ".

One of the most amazing things to me about Westbrook this season is that's he's done all the amazing things he's done without playing 40 minutes in a single regulation time game this season.
Only during a OT game.

Oscar was doing it with over 40 minutes, so many other stars this season with around 40 min.

Harden is so petty.
He's never going to amount to anything talking like this.

Westbrook has avoided talking about Harden and the MVP discussion overall by talking about their personal friendship and being from the ghettos of LA.

This was an immature comment by Harden and I'm personally disappointing he's fallen into this crab in a bucket mentality that twitter trolls and the media have been trying to ignite.

During the off season a bunch of players should play in a small one on one tournament based on size/position categories.

Spurs vs Grizz is going to go 7 games, no joke.
If a single OKC player misses a game they're losing that series fast, if they stay healthy it's going to be a tight series with most of the games coming down to the final 2 minutes.
Jazz easy.
Cavs
Pacers because they've been a different team since Lance came back.

Westbrook's biggest case for MVP isn't just triple doubles. It's clutch time play and many advanced stat indicators when compared to history, not just contemporaries of this year.

People that try and b8, cherry pick, and otherwise attack players in order to make another player look good disservice themselves from how great of a season this has been and how it stacks up in history.
>>
Something is seriously wrong with this season.
The offense is at a all time high because of three point shooting and defense is being exploited to its highest level and has effectively been penalized.

Then you have a huge culture shift with more young teams devoid of quality veterans than ever before and them exploiting fouling tactics just to inflate a players stats and make them score 70 points without any sense of shame.
>>
I'm coming back from hiatus to let everyone know that Westbrook is the MVP.

Thank you.

Defense has been the same when you take into account the amount of 3s being shot today. It's actually better when you think about it.

League defense average in the 90s was 99pts per possession. Today is around 105pts. When you factoring in the amount of 3s being taken which is maybe double from the 90s, 6 point difference isn't that bad.

These players are just having once in a lifetime seasons.

It's a number of factors.

1. The talent/skill level is at an all time high
2. Rule changes. Lack of hand checking means it's almost impossible to stop the best perimeter players. Harden would be great in any era but he's simply impossible to guard now because even the slightest contact it's a foul.
3. Tactics/strategic changes. Rise of analytics and rise of 3 pointers means offenses are naturally going to be more efficient.
4. Teams generally not trying that hard on defense in the regular season. I don't blame them because it's harder to play defense in today's era.

Does anyone else think the current crop of superstars are a bad influence on young basketball players?

This doesn't mention the fact that he often just leaves his defensive assignment to get into position for rebounds which can lead to open shots.

He's last in contested shots among people that have played >2200 minutes (27mpg average over a season) and the only people in this same group who have contested less 3 pointers than him are Hassan Whiteside, Andre Drummond and Rudy Gobert who are all centers.

Harden has a reputation as playing no defense but even he has contested more than twice as many shots as Westbrook has

This. Saw a big ass kid built like fucking prime shaq playing pickup ball with his friends. He looked like he was about 6 inches taller than everyone and had a good 100-150 pounds on all of them and he was out there shooting jump shots 5 feet from the 3 pt. line. The ironic thing is when he happened to be near the basket he could body anyone for a layup but none of the kids knew how to post up or drive to the basket. Everything was just perimeter game.


This kid was about 14 and taller than me (I'm 6'2"). I was like wtf kid why aren't you playing center you could dominate everyone, and I shit you not he looked at me and said "what is a center??" and got really confused when I tried to explain oldschool back to the basket fundamentals to him

With his size, and the experience shooting, if he chooses to play organized basketball the coach will teach him post up game, and it will go from there.

No one has won MVP on a team that wasn't a top 3 seed since the merger with the ABA

Damn you guys must be getting scared seeing Westbrook go God mode and Harden shitting the bed
>>
>>75156848
No one has averaged a triple double since the merger.
>>
>>75156848

only jordan won it as the 3rd seed and that was 30 years ago. You saying harden is as good as jordan?
>>

A lot changes in a year. Trump is president and we're about to invade Syria.

But Houston is still the capital of drug smuggling and distribution.

AHH YOU GOTEM MAH NIQQA

>>75156318
Doesn't matter what happens in the playoffs cause MVP is voted for at the end of the regular season
>>
>>75156882
Uhh the thunder havent played a good team since Houston, a game they got utterly destroyed. God mode? 6th seed? Swept by the Warriors? I think not

That argument applies to Westbrook too though
>>
A lot of Westbrook's rebounds were just the bigs voluntarily moving out of the way so he can grab them, instead of doing their jobs and grabbing them themselves. Really cheapens the record-breaking accomplishment.
>>
>>75157014
KD was heading to another mvp season easily

wb and harden got lucky with his injury
>>
>>75157035

but the only people who bring up seeding are hardenfags. I'm just using their own logic against them.

If you forget about seeding for a moment then Westbrook is clearly, by far, the MVP
>>
>>75157027
No, and when I mean grandpa I literally mean some senile 50+ year old.

>hurr durr the league is soft bill russell would dominate this soft and totally less athletic era
>>
>>75157049
Wow westbrook steals rebounds from his bigs! Mvp mvp mvp mvp!
>>
>>75157001

It's a regular season award
>>
Hot take: MVP doesn't even matter just enjoy the seasons these guys have had. None of these guys had a season like last year's steph otherwise their wouldn't even be a discussion.
>>
Kawaii da real mvp

No we should move them to Salt Lake City.

Pick any two players abilities and combine them to create one ultimate player. I'll choose Shaqs size with Iversons handles and quickness

>>75157097
Lol you mean net negative on defense man deserves it? If he isn't helping his team win through his defense offensive stats are the only thing that matters and kawhi isn't even in the same conversation as anyone on offense
>>
>>75157138
Jason Kidd 2.0

>>75157150
Hmmm... I'm sensing some projection here...

who wins?

cavs or heat?
>>
>>75157063
But seeding has always played a part in MVP voting.

Wilt averaged 50/25
Big O averaged a triple double
Jordan averaged 37ppg
Kobe averaged 35ppg

None of them won MVP those seasons, but they definitely would have had a better shot if their teams had finished with a better seeding.

bitch there's no more season left. There's like 2 games left and barely any of them matter. Of course we're going to shitpost about MVP, there's nothing left to discuss until playoffs start

>>75157161
lol he's carrying the spurs offense if we're keeping it 100

Senility doesn't hit until your late 80s dumbass kid
>>
>>75157205

They aren't even the same type of prospect and nobody questioned Curry's shooting form or ability to get off a shot
>>
>>75157194

okay then Kawhi should win MVP then. Either seeding doesn't matter and Westbrook wins, or it matters and Kawhi wins.

Then why has LeBron forgotten how to win at 30 years old?

That is their job though - let Russ grab the board and start the fastbreak right off the bat. And its worked for OKC, that's undeniable.
>>
>>75157194
Wilt and Roberson MVP was determined by players, not media votes. Wilt was clearly shafted because players didn't like how cocky he was.

Different circumstances and past precedent isn't law or a deciding factor today.

This argument is useless.
>>
>>75157268
He never knew how to win, he just dunked a lot while his teammates sucked around him.

You're acting like I'm saying seeding is the ONLY thing that matters, it's not. Seeding can matter and Harden still win. Jordan and Malone won as the 3rd seed so it's been done but no one has won below that
>>
Guys am I considered a warriors bandwaggoner? I grew up a michigan state college basketball fan and never watched the pistons but I started following the warriors once draymond green took David Lee's starting spot before their title and now I consider myself a fan but if green gets traded or something I'd follow that team instead

>>75157086
Nigger it's their tactic. Give WestGOD the board and let him break fast.

Even if he were statpadding, no way he can do it consistently over 82 games. You have to admit that there must be a good measure of skill involved at some point.

Would thunder do better with harden in place of Westbrook?
