Westbrook is the MVP and it won't be as close as people are saying it is.
Harden will win next year. Kawhi the year after.

WB should get it. Yeah, he obviously stat chased but at the same time, the rest of that team doesn't do crap without him and to actually average a triple double ... seriously.
If Harden ever wins MVP, that is more reason to stop watching the NBA and consider fake just like WWE. I watched 5 minutes of a Houston game and already saw him flopping and giving up on defense when he didn't get a call. And the way Houston campaigns for him is just ridiculous. Now he is whining cause he realizes that WB is going to actually win it?!? Dude, grow up, this isn't High School anymore.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Harden miss getting his MVP.

Cheering hard for Pels and Kings.
Pels win prevents us from 10. Kings win would allow us to go from 9 to 8.5

Equal ping pong balls for moving into top 3. If odd number of balls, coin flip determines who gets the extra, as well as the higher pick should they both not move into the top 3.

There are some interesting storylines this year...
Thunder vs. Rockets -- MVP vs. MVP
Spurs vs. Grizz -- shaping up to be SA's biggest playoff rivalry since the Mavs, both grind-it-out teams (although it's gonna be a bloodbath the way Memphis has fallen apart down the stretch)
Celtics vs. Bulls -- Rondo plays his old team (could've been Wade if Miami had snuck in)
Raptors vs. Bucks -- Carlisle coaching tree; Casey vs. Kidd!
Plus, Clips vs. Jazz and Wizards vs. Hawks are so evenly matched that I could see the series going either way...

If Miami had made it Chicago would have been out. Maybe I am misreading your statement though. I think I'm most excited to watch Utah/LAC. I hope LAC gets bounced in the 1st round and they finally break up that team.

Oops, you're right... Don't know what I was thinking there.
I'll salvage this by saying, eff Rondo and Wade -- I hope the Bulls get swept.

Pacers are right there to steal game 1. Down 4 with 1:30 to go.
Down 1 with 20 sec. Pacers ball. I wish we could get Paul George somehow. Dude is a baller.

Watching Giannis play is seriously depressing. Closest thing to Lebron in the league.

Did I hear them right tho? He shoots 32% outside of 10 feet???????? He's great but that's one area he has to fix.

Yeah I heard that as well! Pretty crazy. But those handles and that length is insane. I think him and Lebron are the only non-Centers to average 20 pts and 50 FG%+ (although I may be incorrect).

If Giannis ever turns into an average shooter from mid-range and out, there's no way he isn't absolutely ruling the league. As it is now I think he's a top-10 player and he's only 22 or 23.

Boy, the Raptors have jack squat in the way of scoring outside of DeMar DeRozan and Sir Chewbacca.

Conley carrying the Grizz. He might be the leagues most underrated player.

Not sure how the 2nd-highest paid player in the league can be "underrated."

He's the 2nd highest paid player in the NBA. He's not underrated.

Not in terms of pay, but consider that he has never been to an All-Star game.

Okay, I can see it from that perspective -- he certainly hasn't won any popularity contests with NBA fans...

NBA star Isaiah Thomas' sister killed in Federal Way I-5 accident
Well, that's horrible... This is majorly going to hurt the Celtics chances. It isn't like Favre's dad passing away -- I just don't see a young guy like IT shaking this off, and I don't think the C's have a prayer unless he's beasting.

:17 in and Gobert goes down with a knee injury. Looks like he banged knees with someone. Hopefully he comes back because they will need him to match up w/ DAJ.

I didn't see him, but was Parsons with the team in SA or is he off modeling his ugly ass shoe line in Chancun?

Por/GS was entertaining until the fourth. It's sad the league almost requires three super stars now to contend. McCollum and Lilliard playing amazing but still not enough.

Yeah... the Warriors are very frustrating to deal with. I really hope someone knocks them out, but not optimistic. Not to mention they're incredibly unlikable (mostly due to Draymond "Nutkicker" Green).

Westbrook has no discipline to his game. Calm down or your team has no chance.
