    Europeans are taking over the NBA!

    WCF award of the month could as easily go to Harden.

    Harden: 40/6/8 on 65% TS
    Doncic: 32/10/10 on 64% TS

    Rockets: 10-5
    Dallas: 9-5

    The award was probably decided on head-to-head matchup...

    Nah. I think triple double is sexier. ;)

    Can't believe Luka got Player Of The Month - such BS!!

    Melo totally deserved play of the month in both the West and the East. He was that good this month :rolleyes:

    So Harden had a better record and better stats (although both slightly) so they give it to Doncic... sound legit. Was Doncic averaging a triple double?

    I am actually not really mad, Doncic deserves the award, I am just curious what they base this on.

    I mean, the same people who gave Carmelo POTW also give out the POTM awards. I don’t think there’s any set criteria. It’s a “Who were we most impressed by” award.

    And “better stats” is subjective. One could make a statistical case for Doncic, if they really want.

    For November, Doncic has averaged a triple double. But the award is for OCT and NOV, so not sure if he has.
