    I agree with that 100%. We'll see what we add this off season but I'm hoping we're still going to try and add another player or two with very high upside.

    Exhibit A for why Jokic is the MVP.

    Nuggets aren't very good, even their championship year I didn't think they were that good. No all stars. Jokic should be winning his 5th in a row mvp

    not accurate. Season series is tied 2-2; next tiebreaker is conference record

    Phoenix is 21-25
    Portland is 17-30

    the best the Blazers can do is 22-30. The worst the Sun can do 21-31. So there is an extremely small margin there for Portland to gain the advantage; Blazers would have to win all 5 of their remaining conference games & Suns would have to lose all 6. One win by Phoenix and the tiebreaker moves to next criteria

    now the criteria says the next tiebreaker is record against playoff teams in own conference; it is also defined as: "Better winning percentage against teams eligible for the playoffs in own conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position)"

    I'm taking that as meaning top-6 teams and not including play-in teams. But maybe that's wrong. If it isn't, by my count, both Portland and Phoenix have 4 wins against top-6 teams. Obviously, that could change. Phoenix has 3 games left against top-6 teams; Portland has 2

    Phoenix has a brutal schedule left. Portland's is a little easier, but not by much

    That answered my questions.

    Really wish they had not played that cheesy ass music instead of letting us hear the fans.

    Deni is awesome, gotta say I have been pleasantly surprised by Duop's improved play, especially on the defensive side

    he's a bargain 'change-of-pace' C. He has enough 'big-man' impact that if he's hitting his three's he's pretty effective....in shorter stints obviously. At 2-3M/year, he's a worthy end of bench player. But not at 5-7M/year

    He's playing great around the basket on both ends, suddenly. Blocking shots and showing great touch in close are two things I didn't expect.

    What are the categories for this? Each fantasy league is completely different.

    he should study Derozan's game. A 6 time all-star who has averaged less than two three point attempts a game
