    Urgency and rebounds these 2 are the key.. i would argue our defense is the same as last year minus rebounding.... every night i see us defending nicely then the opposing team catch an offensive rebound 2 or 3 and score on us

    Considering the odds that CP3 will get healthy and stay healthy are pretty slim, let's hope they make one more big move sooner than later, so we can get that team chemistry just right. We don't want to start new seeing experimental rotations each and every game right before playoffs.

    119.1 - SAC -- third game of their 0-4 start, first gm for WB
    116.8 - DAL -- WB out, DAL led convincingly the whole way.
    112.4 - DEN -- (in Denver, DEN merely matched their season average, 2.4 pts below their Home average)
    111.8 - MIN -- OKC was on the second of a B2B
    109.7 - HOU -- on XMas day with both teams fully rested and ready (but Rockets without Paul)

    BKN was a statistical tie with Rockets for 5th. BKN also lost, fwiw.

    Again, I don't disagree with you.

    It's just league precedent does. This is like 2017 all over again, only difference is we're behind in rankings. Compare to those variables.

    Let's set the record straight. I believe, as in me, he's a candidate stronger than years past. And he has deserved it twice if not three times. But the league won't agree. And they matter, not me. Unless you overthrow Silver and get me.
    I lol'd at model.

    Lebron's bigger than the NBA. Horrible example, let's understand premise before we argue.

    Yep. No way Harden wins MVP last year if we didn't have the best record in the league.

    Our success last year forced the media's hand. They had no choice if they didn't want to look like haters.

    and yet in just your previous reply... "Bron hasn't won one in years"

    not a promising start to your CF debut to say the least.

    Yet he's won a championship more recently than Harden and the entire media is always behind this guy. He is always in the race. If you don't think LeBron's media influence is greater than Harden than your long time here has got you delusional. Time to step away bruh.

    The idiot ref doesn't give the ball to Houston, of course. Maybe it's in the rules, I don't know, but it seems unfair.
