NBA Playoffs Thread

Hasn't baseball awarded MVPS to guys from last place teams, guys who didn't even sniff the playoffs that year? But, that's ok?

 

Yes, but more recently, the MVP has morphed into a quasi player/team award. You really have to be on a contender to have a shot.

Here's a list of former winners.

Dirkuban - out!

 

Ok that I can agree with.

 

Oh no doubt.

 

Interesting point.

 

I was totally off-base with the Mavs-Warriors prediction. Oh well. I think I screwed up the Spurs-Nuggs, too. But 6 outta 8 ain't bad.

 

No it's not.

 

Baron Davis is the one NBA player that would make me, with my old fart mentality, linger longer than five minutes to watch him play.

 

There's being a fan and there's just making an ass of yourself.

This is Golden State's first series win in 16 years. They're second in what . . .25 years? 30? So yah, that fanboy can run smack at The Most Well-Educated Owner in the NBA all he wants. But Cuban can buy and sell his family as well as his franchise several times over.

THAT is true scoreboard.

 

Oh come on, let have his fun

 

Ummm no.

Idaho: Just predicting a Rockets win over the Jazz on Saturday. And that prediction mostly has to do with everyone on the fanboylooser Warriors bandwagon drinking the Kool-Aid that they'll be in the Finals and win it. If they play the Jazz, they will probably beat the Jazz. But I don't see them getting past the Spurs or Suns. Especially if they have to play the Suns.

And Rok, now that GS can't be considered an underdog anymore because they beat the "Best team" which teams cock are you going to suck next?
