Everybody except you.Do people really think LeBron should be MVP over Durant now???

Deng has become an absolute liability on offense, and Noah just had a terrible game.
No team has ever won a championship with their pointguard having a usage rate higher than 19%.
The pointguard with the highest usage rate to ever win a championship? Magic.
Westbrook's usage rate? 24%.

Everybody except you.
Everybody except you.
*dap*Ah.
Just remember, I questioned people hating on Westbrook even when people were assigning him cute little nicknames.
If the Lakers are out, the only thing that would make this season complete would be Derek Fisher daggering the Heat in the Finals.
Just for Konex.
Deng will be ok, he has just turned from a consistent jumpshooter to an erratic one.
Last game, his jumper was going very well.
I know it was the Pistons but he still can hit shots, he just misses badly now more often than he should.
I do think Deng is the main concern going into the playoffs though, not worried about Rip or Derrick as by this time, they should be as healthy as newborns.

I honestly think Deng will have a terrible playoffs, and be their main weakness.Deng will be ok, he has just turned from a consistent jumpshooter to an erratic one.

Not I. Lebron is definitely having a good season. But Durant is out of this world.
lame thread title, not funny, not cool, not a good look
too forced
yall need to work on the titles
YupTHIS. Completely insensitive and pathetic if you ask me.
you're just salty about 3/21lame thread title, not funny, not cool, not a good look
too forced
yall need to work on the titles
lebron's the mvp
stats obliterate durant's
Yup
I can't believe Lebron is actually using two headbands now. He's basically living up to that joke pic that was around where he would be adding headbands every couple years until he had like 5 of them.

Obviously LeBron has the better overall stats but as far as being unstoppable scoring(shooting), Durant is just automatic nowadays.
It's nice to have someone you can always go to and know he'll rarely miss the shot.
How is that relevant when both teams would be bad without them? and really that's too close to call anywayTake Durant off the Thunder and LeBron off the Heat.
Who wins more games???
I haven't a fucking clue. I know they both win a ton of games, though. These aren't D league lineups.Take Durant off the Thunder and LeBron off the Heat.
Who wins more games???
LeBron's game is crap for end of game situations. When the defense clamps down LeBron can't just drive and score. There aren't transition baskets. Durant is the superior end game threat because of his elite jumpshooting.lebron 53.5%
durant 50.1%
like i said, perception and media hype will decide the award
lebron 53.5%
durant 50.1%
like i said, perception and media hype will decide the award
lebron 53.5%
durant 50.1%

26.5-6.6-8.2 on 53.5% shooting or 27.7-3.5-8.1 on 50.1% shooting?Not I. Lebron is definitely having a good season. But Durant is out of this world.

I don't recall anyone taking you two seriously.THIS. Completely insensitive and pathetic if you ask me.

26.5-6.6-8.2 on 53.5% shooting or 27.7-3.5-8.1 on 50.1% shooting?
Don't see how the latter is out of this world by comparison, all things considered. Both guys are having great, great seasons, but Lebron's the MVP.
This isn't right. Billups was at 24% in '03-'04.
Also, to what does the thread title refer?
Coach Nick was totally wrong then.This isn't right. Billups was at 24% in '03-'04.

edit: Parker had higher usages than Westbrook in '05 and '07. he was 27% in '07
26.5-6.6-8.2 on 53.5% shooting or 27.7-3.5-8.1 on 50.1% shooting?

Do I like Durant more as a player and human being? Yes. Would I rather root for Durant? Absolutely. Lebron's having the best season.
lebron is the mvp, end of story.
- better stats
- equally as important to team (both teams would fall off drastically without them)
- might end up with the greatest PER season in the history of the game, topping wilt
Reasons why he won't win it:
- perception, evil miami heat
- negative image, the decision
- media hype/campaign for durant (a la D-rose last year)
i'm not even a lebron fan. not a hater either, i like the guy and think he's a good dude overall, just tainted by wade's influence and south beach. he's the mvp this year... historic season
28/8/7 on 53%, unbelievable numbers, + dominant defense...better than durant on D
I kind of like the sloppy dunks where the ball is thrown in or the ball rattles
adds character, makes it look more nasty imo
PER is a baseless stat. You know that, right?lebron is the mvp, end of story.

I find Hollinger annoying as hell, too, - and am generally annoyed by PER - but I would like for you to explain why PER is baseless.PER is a baseless stat. You know that, right?
Coach Nick was totally wrong then.
Coach Nick wasn't referring to USG% but percentage of total FGAs
Ah that's what it was. I misremembered the stat.Coach Nick wasn't referring to USG% but percentage of total FGAs.
He was right, I just had the wrong stat in mind.Yeah, he gets things wrong at times. I should go tell him.
Take Durant off the Thunder and LeBron off the Heat.

I think he added arbitrary coefficients and such, and constructed his equation on his own.
I don't know how to describe it any better than: its baseless.
lebron 53.5%

Modern era.No Oscar Robinson...
What does this even mean? Every stat that you accumulate in this game results in a positive outcome for your team and a negative outcome for your opponent.LeBron is great at racking up stats with out doing much
So you're saying you just don't understand the formula.That makes sense.
