OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA MADNESS: APRIL 2025

The team would vote to give him one or not. I’m quite sure he would.

 

If I were a fan of either team, I'd avoid 6seed. I'd take my chances against the Rockets even if it meant winning the 7-8 play-in first

 

At this point I car less about the draft. I want the Blazers to win the next two games. Play hard and take these games with everyone they can play.

 

What is everyone's take on this?

 

meaningless wins are just that, meaningless. We need as much chance to move up the top 4. We have to finish worse than Phoenix

 

I think 4 seed is bad despite getting HCA. Makes it so you have to play OKC in 2nd round presumably. 6 seed is better. 7 seed isn’t bad if you can win the play-in. Puts you up against young inexperienced Houston team. Experience is important in playoffs.

 

Celtics Pritchard

 

Probably,

 

Hell, if the Lakers win this year, one could argue that AD was the MVP, seeing as he brought Luca.

 

it will be Pritchard, and he deserves it

as for Deni, his per game last year and this year

points went up from 14.7 to 16.9
rebounds went up from 7.2 to 7.3
assists went up from 3.8 to 3.9...but, turnovers went up from 2.1 to 2.7

his FG% fell from .506 to .476
his 2ptFG% fell from .560 to .552
his 3ptFG% fell from .374 to .365
his TS% climbed from .597 to .605

I'm not seeing enough improvement to warrant a MIP award. He got better, but it was more incremental than major

 

It was major from beginning of season to end of season. Award doesn’t have to be from last year to this year.

 

They won’t win. They just need to play to win.

 

lol...are you trying to lead S2 in nonsense?

if it based upon cherry-picked games over a third of a season, Josh Giddey would get it over Avdija. He's had 5 triple-doubles in the last month and has led the Bulls to a 13-5 record over the last 18 games

Pritchard, Giddey, Dyson Daniels, Cade Cunnigham, Austin Reaves, Christian Braun, Ivica Zubac all deserve it more than Deni, IMO. In fact, when I look at that list it probably won't be Pritchard

 

MIP from mid season until the end of the season... sure. MIP overall... nah. Also shouldn't impacting winning kind of be factored in? That's not me asking for different numbers from you, it's just saying that Pritchard's impact on winning increasing in the way it has should bolster his improved individual stats.

 

Any interest in Orlando Robinson? He was just released by Toronto.

 

What are they chanting?

 

“Fire Nico!”

 

Pritchard should win 6th man IMO.
