How it wasn't unanimous is beyond me.

Chris Paul has two good playoff games out of 8 and all of a sudden he's MVP material.
Kyle Lowry deserved more MVP votes than Chris Paul.
Man what?
19/10 while playing great defense and the best assist to turnover ratio with a 26 PER.
Show me another PG who did that, cause it definitely isn't Kyle Lowry.
Kyle Lowry didn't miss 1/4th of the season.

To me it is, I knew KD would win, but I thought the race would be closer. I'm gonna chalk it up to voter fatigue. What I'm most interested in is how people are going to react. I expect to see 40 charts and graphs of how LeBrons season was basically equal to KDs.That first place vote disparity is shocking. I'll wait for this to stir up controversyKD officially named MVP, LBJ runner up.

Kevin Durant wins MVP in a landslide over LeBron James, getting 119 of 125 first-place votes.
Is it really that shocking?
Yes Bron was amazing but not as good as he was last year and voter fatigue. He made it interesting after the AS break but fell off a bit at the end of the season.
Let's act like KD wasn't out of his mind while Russ was out.
He could've won it unanimously IMO.

It really wasn't close though,
KD: 32 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 5.5 apg; Advanced stats: 29.9 PER, 19.2 WS
LBJ: 27.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 6.3 apg; Advanced stats: 29.3 PER, 15.9 WS
Add in the streak, and keeping them at the top of their conference in a much stronger West with their other superstar out, and the landslide is justified.

I got us losing in 6 now.
This isn't Memphis (obvi) where Brooks can wait til game 5 to make a meaningful adjustments, nor can we afford RJ waiting til game 4 to show up (4 bench points last night not counting extensive late garbage time). Some people might think he can hoop, but no need for so many Butler minutes nor Fisher for that matter, particularly if they get off to bad starts. Veteran toughness brings 0 to the table when you got old man Fish trying to guard Jamal Crawford. This is an athleticism series. In fact, PJ3 and Lamb with their length and athleticism would be better options on Reddick as well chasing through screens. I hope they earned some minutes with their garbage time play last night. No real problem with Perkins, DJ didn't do much last night and the few lobs he did get weren't Perk's fault, he had to help and nobody helped him (KD would usually be the next rotation). I don't like our pick and roll coverage, I'm better with the pure switching which we went to late and granted CP3 exposed just because he was hsooting so well than whatever they were doing in the 1st half that kept having Westbrook guarding the rolling big.

You're silly man.
Even Lowry doesn't think he's better or more valuable than Chris Paul.

We have had trouble scoring, definitely. Like I said, if we can get Hibbert going, then our offense starts firing off. See game 7 of last series as an example.
Man Gooden had his first double digit rebounding and scoring game in over a month last night... credits to the former Jayhawk though.

Why would Hibbert start playing well? He's been playing like this for a while.

KD MVP was well deserved this year. I'm a Lebron fan and KD for sure had the better season and he's been so good and so consistent over the last few seasons he definitely deserves the nod. On another note, he better start putting up those numbers every night to get past the Clipps because they got ran out the gym last night. They exposed every bit of OKC's weaknesses. Time to make adjustments a lot sooner than later.

Basically, you can't argue with Chester on anything Clippers related. He hates them and can't be objective about the team or its players. That's why I never respond to anything he posts about the Clippers.

And also in that game 7 you were playing the 8th seer under .500 hawks and hibbert had a under 7 footer on him at all times pretty much. Atlanta's defense isn't good either with the likes of kyle korver guarding Paul George.
