Take defence out of the equation - because we all know that means nothing when it comes to the MVP

if you take defense out of the equation then i give the award to Harden with Westbrook the runerup.

I think Westbrook wins it because of the triple double storyline, not because he is the better player.  I think Harden has been more valuable a player than Westbrook (and that hurts me to say it cos I am not a fan of Harden).

Westbrook will win guranteed,

the Triple double will get him the win. I dont like harden either but I have him over Westbrook.

dont care much about the MVP anymore.

We all know who the best player is and its not whoever wins the MVP

What are you guys all smoking?  Westbrook wins MVP hands down, he's had a season that prob won't ever be repeated (maybe only by him next season).  Give it to him last week already!

[Holz]

just thought id look at Buddy Hield again.

not spectacular numbers but actually pretty decent for 28.8 minutes

15.1 points on 48% FG with 42.5% 3 pointers.

4.1 boards, 1.7 assists

showing something for a first year player.

Agree it probably wont be repeated (triple double) but thats not because others cant do it, its because they shouldn't do it.

Are those numbers for the whole year?

I wouldnt mind seeing just the numbers since he was traded to Sacramento.

Funny though that Harden loses to Curry due to having a lesser team record, and now he's going to lose to Westbrook and he has the better record!  Harden can't win.  :-\

Also does anyone here listen to Bill Simmons podcast?  I don't regularly, but I listened to one with KD from about 3 months ago and was bloody brilliant listening to them.  KD is such a straight shooter and ice cold in his opinions too.  Looking forward to listening to one with KD from a few weeks back on the drive home from work.

James Worthy is a coward

Celtics for the first seed boy!

Think I've decided on Kawhi...

- He's a better player than Westbrook and Harden
- His team won 61 games
- Top 5 offensive player
- Top 3 defensive player

I think that's a stronger case than what I could make for Westbrook but it's close.

[Jay]

1. Leonard
2. Westbrook
3. Curry
4. Thomas
5. Harden

Man, that was difficult but I'm pretty happy with my top five.
