In a different thread HCP asked why teams didn't double team Lillard & CJ more

This isn't a real good team. It's a slightly above average team that has benefited from major injuries to the playoff opponents.

That's a team MVP, not a league MVP.

 

I think the Blazers are a team in the league so I don't get the distinction....I think Lillard had the biggest impact on his team...I get that you don't and that's fine

 

The distinction is that the Blazers aren't one of the most important/valuable/impactful teams in the league this year, so Dame would have to be clearly better than the best players on the best teams, which he obviously isn't to all but the biggest of homers.

 

Unless you're the Clippers.

 

you're welcome to your value system....it's not an award for the best team..it's for the guy who did the most for his team and you can call me a fan anytime...doesn't offend me at all ..I think he accomplished more given his circumstances

 

Does anyone with a vote in the matter share your definition?

 

you'd have to ask them

 

In other words, no.

Another thing to consider, CJ was arguably just as valuable to the team this year as Dame. That really weakens the case for the best player on a slightly above average team being the MVP.

 

when you're 8th in the MVP race, apparently you get votes...but keep bangin' that drum...and I'm not making a case out of it..it's just my opinion and for the record...I like CJ
