Kinda hearing some mcmillan talk for coy, not like he should be #1 but may be worth a few top 3 votes. He’s def surprised me.

I voted Harden MVP. He's been a bridesmaid several times now and set himself up to win this time. Brow ought to pick up a few votes from Harden haters. LeBron will get his votes from his devotees, but... (shrug) nah.

i feel that he's been better than draymond by quite a bit
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 16 March 2018 00:10 (six years ago) link
he was for a while but they kinda reversed about halfway through imo. KD been a little more lax and dray's turned it up.

kyle anderson is a steals maniac, good shot blocker too. wonder what kind of defensive numbers he would put up if he played starter minutes.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Friday, 16 March 2018 00:18 (six years ago) link
kyle has started 54 of the 60 games he's played fyi

― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Friday, 16 March 2018 01:17 (six years ago) link
well, when kawhi and rudy have both been out, their SF slot has been pretty thin. he even occasionally starts at PF with 3 Gs

a guy who should get 6MOY votes but might not: nick vanvleet
was thinking today about how guys like macmillan and scotty brooks don't get the COY buzz mainly because of their bad reputations lol

lol fred* vanvleet
Franks been awesome
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Friday, 16 March 2018 03:01 (six years ago) link
van vleet should be in the 6man running altho i don't think he has the raw stats for it. he plays in crunch time for the 3rd best team in the league and that should count.

there's this guy who's clearly the superior player on both offense and defense, but let's vote for the inefficient high volume scorer on a dominant defensive team
― k3vin k., Monday, 9 April 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
wuut mitchell has been absolutely amazing the leading scorer on a team thats won like 30 of 34 or something its crazy, wldnt be surprised if simmons wins tho as philly has gone on a run of their own w embiid out and he obvs has the higher ceiling, theyve both had in some ways unpresidented seasons, in most years what tatums done wld be enough to win it and no ones even talking abt him, fwiw its morally and logically correct to dock simmons points for red shirting
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 April 2018 19:36 (six years ago) link
simmons has prob caught up to how he wld be playing if he played last year at this point
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 April 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link
hard to argue with any of those picks, tho I’m agnostic on coach of the year

― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
most of these awards are dumb but COY seems the dumbest behind MIP
My defense of a lebron vote would be solely that he is still great and it would be a make up award for some previous years
I wouldn’t actually vote for him though with harden existing this year
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
Having to completely remake lebrons custom built team around him midstream is also a serious strike against any real mvp candidacy too as lowe goes into extensively
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 18:35 (six years ago) link
he was prob the worst defender in the league this year
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 19:54 (six years ago) link
Aw cmon that’s not true
He was the worst defender in the league for like six weeks tops
― gis for westbrook shark jump (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
i understand conserving yr energy but i feel like he cldve balanced it a lil better between offense and defense
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 19:59 (six years ago) link
he def wasn't the worst, he's about average over 82 games a this point probably tho def very good when he dials it in
― k3vin k., Thursday, 12 April 2018 01:06 (six years ago) link
dialed it in for prob 10mins this season the rest he took off he was really exceptionally bad, its not a coincidence the cavs were also insanely bad
― lag∞n, Thursday, 12 April 2018 02:43 (six years ago) link

heard rumblings of his defense being amazing this year. covington over draymond seems a little suspect to me. but fair enough, he deserves a lot of credit and dray was cruising at 80% all year.
