Finals MVP so far? KD I believe
definitely KD so far but a case can be made for Steph as well
Phanphare pls 😢. Chokers can't be MVPs.
Statistically, Curry is in the conversation which is kind of the bittersweet thing in all this given so many people believe curry is destined to never show up in the finals.
But the tenacity KD has played with this series and the whole season long narrative that's surrounded him, it's hard believe he doesn't get it.
curry's been choking on all the boards he's been getting
He goes supernova to lead a comeback, yeah. Otherwise KD got it locked.
Which is crazy cuz Steph is on the verge of a 30 point triple double this series. LeBron and KD basically have similar numbers.
You can throw Kawhi in the mix but I think we're looking at the 3 best players in basketball this series
When did he choke?
Steph isn't shooting well enough and has too many turnovers.

lmaooo that would be fucking incredible. Doing that at their stadium one year later would be a fatality of unimaginable proportions.
they weren't up by 10 tho

IMO he won't. KD single handedly fucked up an entire city when this was still a series. If you're a clevelander I'm not sure what's worse, that 3 or the fact that when this is done they have the Browns to look forward to. He has given them a fate worse than the Browns, that's FMVP stuff right there.

seems like a pretty genuine moment to me.

Like last years WCF? Curious how Curry's shakeable confidence was then and how KD's was? I forget. Maybe you can pull your mental gymnastics stat sheet and tell us your story. He had a 75% TS while scoring the highest PPG in the 4th in 2015's final. But you know.. dat shakeable confidence statline just held him back.
Oh my God. Someone tweet this to KD, Curry and Green lmao. This would be incredible.

lebron should do whatever he can to get anthony davis in a cavs uniform, short of moving kyrie.

So were all the 3-1 jokes the year over. The cookies. The picture over their locker room on the Christmas day game.
Shit always comes back to you.
This guy gets it.

Steph not gonna win MVP because he doesn't deserve it. 29/10/9 is amazing, especially in the finals, and not too far from KD. However, KD is shooting lights out. 56% from the field and 52% from 3. This on top of the defense in game 2 and the dagger last night.... it will take some heroics by Steph to take the trophy.

That's amazing. Much better than super saiyan crap.

No way is AD moving from New Orleans now, he's way too loved there
If Kyrie plus filler is all it takes to get Anthony Davis, I'd pull the trigger if I'm a GM.
I'd take AD in a split second for Kyrie

There's nothing on the Cavs besides LeBron himself that could get the Pelicans to give up Davis.
well he's the slim reaper

What is it with you and moving goalposts?
From my data yesterday, not sure what mental gymnastics you speak of cause these are the rawest of numbers.
2015 Finals was his best year performing in close minutes. But I wonder how much of that was him having to look at Delly vs Irving for the bulk of the night.

Why? They'd not receive anything they need but would lose a pure scorer and great ball handler, increasing Bron's load on ball handling even more.

These situations are nothing alike. AD is almost certainly not getting traded and he sure as hell isn't getting traded for anything the Cavs could offer.

I'd like to see him try to go to Golden State. It may finally be the only way for the league to clamp down on OP teams.

could pull off a 3 teamer, but i agree it's not realistic right now. he's just the type of talent the cavs need to add if they're going to beat the warriors the next few years.
regardless, i'd bet all my money davis is gone via trade or fa when this contract expires (or is set to expire).

He won't do it but if he wants to go to a team and play for the vet minimum what could the league do about that? The NBAPA might be pissed at him but it's his choice.
There's no realistic way for the Cavs to get Davis even with another team involved. As for him getting moved, he's not a FA until 2021 and there's a good chance he'll be up for a ridiculously large super-max contract by then. Maybe he gets moved in 2020 but it would be surprising.

Anthony Davis instantly makes your offense and defense better. The dude can flat out score with a much better clip than Kyrie, and can guard just about anybody one on one. A decent PG is enough of a replacement for the position.

Edit: Also
These are great LOL!!
Really because I remember KD jacking up shots doing hero ball with no confidence
Whereas here he "practiced that shot his whole life"
He's fraudulent
