    Why? That would be silly. He doesn't deserve them in early December... nor does anyone.

    There's certain situations... like, if he has 30 and we're up 3 with five seconds to go and he's just hit the FT to put us up 4, then yeah, he deserves it!

    I thought the same thing! It was like he just told the kids to settle down because Big Daddy was taking over. They looked so disjointed up to that point in the 4th and suddenly they all just went calm. When I saw him knock it down I knew we were going to win the game. He's just in a completely different stratosphere with his confidence and leadership this season.

    Negating the "30" you could essentialy say then, that Mo should be getting MVP chants for what he did last night at the end of the game with the FT.

    It's straight silly to be giving anyone MVP chants (including Lebron) in Early December.

    I guess that means the 30 part is kinda fucking important then, huh?

    Not really. It's only one of a myraid. You take it out, and it means nothing. Yet, you bring it in, it means everything. LMA LATER may deserve it, but just one statstical measure doesn't make an MVP, no matter how hard the NBA tries to force the issue.

    Regardless, no mvp chants in December.. It's just silly. That's my main point.

    Well sure, you take away Lebron's scoring and he's not an MVP either.

    Why are we even having this conversation?

    Sad that he distrusts over 6 billion people as a rule, without ever getting to know them.

    What an empty life to lead.

    I just want to give props where props are due. This guy has been totally beast-mode this season. Almost averaging 10 rebounds (going after loose balls mind you), 23 points, scoring inside, outside, getting to the foul line and not being intimidated by opposing bigs. He has really excelled this season. He has become our rock!

    or you could drop the negative Nancy act and support your best player on your supposed favorite team. Maybe some things don't have to make analytical sense, maybe sometimes you can let loose your inner homer and have a little fun?
