    If you think Westbrook deserves the MVP for the fact he has taken a team that many thought would suck and is overachieving with it, thats one thing. If you vote for him simply because he is averaging a triple double then I think that is ridiculous because he is doing it by extreme stat padding of the rebounds and anyone who denies that simply isn't paying attention.

    Shocking loss for Chicago tonight in Brooklyn. Chicago has the easy schedule, Miami has the tough schedule so it was assumed Chicago would make the playoffs. But Chicago lost to Brooklyn while Miami won IN Washington. Crazy.

    Is that stat really true? They're 14-25 when he doesn't? That sounds wildly inconsistent so for that alone, I wouldn't give him MVP. If Boston gets #1 seed, I give it to Thomas. I would've given it to Kawhi if Spurs got 1 seed.

    Damian Lillard disagrees with you. I'll take his word for it.

    Shame that Miami still miss out. They deserve to make it for the way they turned the season around from January onwards but will come short as Chicago only play Magic and Nets at home now. Miami play Cavs and Wizards, actually reckon they will win both but Bulls own the tie breaker.

    Rodman ignored defensive assignments and hovered around the rim to pad his rebounding stats. That didn't stop him from being a multiple time champion and regarded as one of the best rebounders and defenders ever.

    Shit OKC has beaten Denver 8 straight times. Makes me feel like the nuggets are destined to win today... But that also makes me feel like they are going to lose their road b2b against OKC.

    Oh well, I like our odds of clinching with a win anyways.

    A Nuggets fan tried to convince me that they run the leagues best offense with Jokic on the floor. A statement which gets dumber and dumber the more I watch them. The thing that the have going for them is the fact that they have a lot of jump shooters and atheletic young players, I feel confident guessing that their half court offense is 20-25th in the league. A lot of Jokic assists come from jump shots, and I don't consider that a good offense.
