llamaface Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Just left the Clippers vs Rockets game... That was a tough loss for the Clippers. I'm hoping they can string together some wins and get up to at least the 3 seed. They're going to be a tough matchup for anyone in the playoffs.

paintedinexile Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 So what's everyone's thoughts on the MVP? The consensus thinks it should be Curry, but I think Westbrook deserves it. The guy has been an absolute monster the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I thought it was gonna be Harden for a while, but then westbrook put up like 6 consecutive triple doubles or whatever the hell he did. Curry might take the cake cause I think people like him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 There's no way Harden wins it or deserves to win it. The dude plays ugly basketball and his PPG is so inflated from free throws. Not to mention the pure volume of shots he takes. If he was putting up those #s with 50% from the field then he might have a case, but being a ball hog on one end and asleep on the other doesn't sound like an MVP to me. As much as I hate the Warriors, I'd say Steph deserves it. Russ has a good chance only if OKC gets to the playoffs, which is still a pretty big if at this point.

Family Friendly Rap God Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I want my guy Steph to win it but I wouldn't be mad if Russy took it. He has been balling this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Westbrook has missed like 13 games and OKC is 17 games worse than the Warriors. He has no argument over Steph. Harden, well, I hate Harden.A bigger travesty would be Kerr not winning Coach of the Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamaface Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A bigger travesty would be Kerr not winning Coach of the Year I wouldn't have a problem with Budenholzer winning. The Hawks are going to finish about 20 games better than last season. Still, I think Kerr should win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I think Kerr should win it. A lot of their improvement record wise will be because they haven't been devastated by injuries like they were last season. Kerr has taken virtually the same team Mark Jackson had and added 6 points per game while riding his starters less. The Warriors are first in almost (all?) every statistic worth paying attention to. This will come off as homerism but don't dismiss it - The Warriors may finish top 5 in wins in NBA history with a top 5 point differential in NBA history in perhaps the most difficult Conference in NBA history. As stated, they're first in pretty much every statistic. IF they win the NBA title (a long ways to go) they will have to be considered one of the best teams of all time.

All reasons why Kerr should win it. They are a great team.I think it will be a close vote, but I don't think it should be considered a "travesty" if Kerr doesn't win. What will be a travesty is if Deandre Jordan doesn't win Defensive Player of the Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ is a fucking joke and only gets credit for playing good defense because the rest of the Clippers are so awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneatingcow Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm not a huge NBA guy but I thought Draymond Green was almost a lock for Defensive Player of the Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamaface Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I actually think there are a few good candidates for the award, but I wanted to confirm what most people think of the Clippers. I'm so stoked for the playoffs to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bigger travesty would be Kerr not winning Coach of the Year brad stevens deserves serious consideration. the celtics were a revolving door for the first half of the season, sporting a new lineup nearly every single night. all star game and trade deadline pass, and without hesitation, he was able to find the team's identity. then reaches the playoffs almost entirely because of wins that came in the second half of the season. and do i need to rifle off that lineup? because i'm sure you still haven't heard of most of them.

The Celtics are in the playoffs because they are in the eastern conference, and they have to send 8 teams. For awhile there, about 5 teams, all under .500, were in contention for the last two playoff spots. Props to the coach though. He seems to get a lot out of his players, no matter who is playing. I believe that this playoff experience for them is far more valuable than the difference of 1-2 spots in the draft from being in the lottery.

Not to mention they get every first round pick Brooklyn has for what seems like the next five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I bet Brooklyn is hating that trade they made with Boston right now. Haha. Boston is going to have a shit load of picks in the next few drafts. In addition to their own, they have Brooklyn's first rounders in 2014 (or Atlanta's, which ever is lower), 2016, and 2018. Plus the right to swap picks in 2017. All are unprotected. That was a lot to give up for a bunch of old guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
