2023-2024 NBA Season Thread • Page 415

the cognitive dissonance and the constant goalpost moving has been insane. most of these guys who have a vote have shown they don't actually watch these players outside of the ones they like. They aren't making informed decisions about these awards.

 

there was a year (maybe 2010?) where the Suns had like 48 wins and missed out on the west playoffs

 

I was wrong about those suns but still 2010 was nuts

 

I especially have loved that Luka only turned it on in the second half of the season. That one really made me laugh.

 

I am talking about both conferences.

 

There were 18 teams in the NBA this year with 46 wins or more.

That's insanity.

 

Regardless my official thoughts on the Bucks is they are either going to lose in the first round or make the finals - there is no in between on this team

also dame is playing for his legacy this postseason haha

 

so why aren't 50% of your posts more optimistic

 

Because right now it’s trending more towards first round exit

and the team has been miserable for 4-5 weeks now so yeah lol

 

man I forgot we were the 2nd seed that year. Another tough first round exit that year. Fucking Spurs

 

I could see every higher seed winning and every higher seed getting upset, it’s a wild year.

 

If the bucks lose to Indiana all my friends here will never let me hear the end of it and yeah I probably deserve it but also I never talk about the bucks with them so maybe it won’t be that bad

 

He's 3rd AT BEST behind SGA and Jokic come on brother

 

He's 4th at best after Luka

 

He's probably behind Luka too. Sucks for both of them because Jokic should have gotten his 3-peat last year, so they're trying to make up for it, but SGA or Luka could have easily won it any other year

 

Tatum over Giannis

J.J. Reddick certified good.

 

According to the fine fellow that keeps the MVP tracker spreadsheet based on voters who make their choices public - Giannis is in 4th so far (and barely ahead of Tatum for 5th)


Luka is actually currently 2nd

 

It's splitting hairs because neither is going to win but Luka over SGA is absurd to me lol. SGA led his team to the #1 seed in the bloodbath West vs. the #5 seeded Mavs

 

There’s still like 85 votes that need to come in

Jokic is leading MVP
Rudy DPOY (Victor has a few first place votes actually)
Naz Reid 6MOY
Coby White is beating Maxey for MIP lol

 

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

Maxey would have the most points right now but Bill Simmons actually left Maxey off of his ballot completely lmao

 

But like I said there’s still a ton of votes not in.

tracker is here for anyone interested: 2024 MVP & NBA Awards Vote Tracker - Google Drive

 

He plays on the worst team and he’s the first to average 30 ppg on 60%

All 4 are deserving but giannis is the only one who also plays elite defense
