What's it have to do with then?Originally Posted by chop2chip
Steph is the MVP leader by a mile, he outplayed Harden last night on a back to back in Houston and are 3-0 vs Houston. Chef Curry is MVP, thats my take Chip.

I don't know. You brought up ISO basketball not me. Harden isn't even an ISO player.
You said Harden isn't an MVP level player. Except he has a lot of statistical and media support for being a candidate. But you don't think that and that's hes "not close" to that. Steph Curry has nothing to do with that. So why isn't he a candidate?
Harden isn't a candidate because of how insanely good Curry is. The MVP award is Steph Curry's to lose. Now what would be interesting is if you take both players off their teams and see what happens to Golden State and Houston. If we are going based off stats then Andrew Wiggins should be in the discussion too.
I wonder what would happen if you took Korver off the Hawks.

Steph is the MVP. Of course.
But Harden is the number 2 candidate. This is acknowledged by everyone and up until 30 minutes ago when Heyward went on an anti Harden rant did I even think it was a thought.
Silly Wiggins. He's not even remotely comparable.
Never say that please.
Marc Gasol?
Also a candidate. I love him.
But using your logic. If you take away his ability to post up then he's an average player.
Here's a good article by Ethan Sherwood that talks about the MVP race being between Curry and Harden. He has Curry as a clear favorite.

Joel Embiid now weighs close to 300 pounds, representing a substantial gain from his 250 pounds while at Kansas last year.
Embiid's work ethic is being question by some within the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid had a blowup with assistant strength and conditioning coach James Davis, which is one of the reasons he was sent home during the team's recent West Coast road trip.
The Sixers are trying to address the added weight. Embiid, however, hasn't always been a willing workout participant, according to sources. He's even blown off conditioning drills, one source added.

Not good
Ouch, no it's not. I haven't heard any of that, but I really don't pay much attention.
That's an awful sign but that can happen when you have a culture of losing on purpose.

Love is a shooter. Blatt is an idiot and wants Love to post up

Love did a lot more than shooting for t he wolves. Why limit him?

So Waiters has been ok for the thunder so far. Didn't think it would work well but I certainly didn't believe it would work this well so soon.

Having these chances in garbage time is the best way for the Thunder to get him used to his teammates.
I can't complain with what he's done. Thunder needed scoring off the bench and someone that could challenge his man defensively. I hope it lasts. Kid got drafted fourth overall just three years ago.

They are limiting him now. Its either stand in corner or post up.
Man....who would have thiught that going into atlanta would be a tough game for the Thunder this week. Incredible how well coached they are.

45 / 1 / 7 with 4 steals and a block on 12 of 18 shooting.

The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014
