2010-2011 NBA thread: One LeBron To Live

[ComicChick]

You also said you'd shave your head if Blake Griffin jumped over a car. We're all waiting...

how do you know i haven't?

he didn't really jump over the car, he jumped over the hood of the car, which while impressive is definitely not what i had in mind.

he shouldve just put a smartcar out there and jumped it over it from trunk to hood and then that would def be worthy of a head shaving

Bad loss for the Bulls last night. Not so much the loss, but letting the Hawks get back into it.

Big weekend for them now.

A lot of people have Rose as MVP of the entire league. So that loss isn't going to help his case against Lebron. Especially when the Heat have a better record.

 

[KBX]

Losing to the Hawks is not that a big of a deal. And if the Heats record is about 5 games better than Chicago at the end of the year, theres a good chance Rose is your MVP.

 

[Ghostvirus]

If they are seriously going by bad Losses. Then Lebron has been out since the beginning. The Heat has mad trouble beating a contending team.

 

[Gotham Knight]

I'm not saying I don't agree with that. I'm just saying how the voters will choose. Lebron right now is up on D-Rose in everything but assist if I'm correct. They're so close to each other in terms of stats, which means voters will be looking for something to separate the two. And if nothing really changes from now to the end of the season, I would imagine five games is enough to give Lebron the edge for the voters, even if the Heat struggled against elite teams.

The whole "Heat can't beat a contender" thing is overblown. They've gone 0-7 against Boston, Chicago, and Dallas. Ok, that's no good. But against the remaining playoff teams in the East AND West they're 13-7. Not great, but not terrible. What they haven't done is lose to teams with losing records that they SHOULD beat. It's only happened twice all year. That's less than Boston (7), Chicago (6), LA (8), etc. can say.

 

[Wylie Times]

We don't know how the MVP voters will choose because they switch up their criteria every year and they let their biases affect their votes. I've heard voters say they wouldn't vote for a guy because they had too much talent on their team. The worst I've heard was when Shaq was a perennial contender and they would say you wouldn't give it to him because he could win it every year.

You're right about that. That's the reason why Kobe Bryant only has one MVP award.

 

[ComicChick]

so heat dropped Arroyo and picked up Bibby. Not a Heat fan, but I can see Bibby doing well there

I don't think that loss is going to have an impact on MVP voting one way or the other. I think the voters will look at the season as a whole. I think Rose has lifted the Bulls above expectations.

Same reason other players won the MVP while Jordan was racking up three-peats.

Doubtful

 

[Wylie Times]

You're right about that. That's the reason why Kobe Bryant only has one MVP award.

Guys who have been screwed out of the MVP award:

Shaq
Kobe
CP3
D-Wade

If Lebron wins this year then Derrick Rose will be added to this list. The NBA needs to go back to letting players and coaches vote for the award or at least use votes from players, coachs, GM's and the media.

 

[Anubis]

If it was the fans Yao Ming would win every time.

 

[Wylie Times]

Same reason other players won the MVP while Jordan was racking up three-peats.

The reasoning is just plain stupid. If anything should have hurt Jordan's MVP chances it should have been the fact that after he retired the Bulls didn't see that much of a drop off. If not for a couple of bad calls they would have been right back in the conference finals.

 

[steintym]

Pippen absolutely carried that team while Jordan was away chopping at curveballs. The Bulls were actually very exciting to watch that 1 1/2 years.

(Although it never really felt like they could win it all without Jordan)

 

[SpideyVille]

The Heat are really bad at holding leads.
