Re: Race to the MVP pt. III
Lebron in the lead for me due to his competition falling from their hot starts (looking at Melo).
1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Chris Paul
4. Melo
Durant can be forgiven for losing to the Wiz since Lebron has ALSO lost to them (the Wiz... who knew?)
Chris Paul needs a #1 record to make up for his stats, which do matter in MVP discussion.

What on earth??? Are you talking about the team success (in huge part due to him missing a few games) because he has had basically nothing but good games recently except last night.. FFS the guy won player of the week

Uh what are you talking about? Melo had two 40 point games in the last week or so. You're sounding like a real casual fan.

I can't help but feel like if LeBron/Wade/Kobe etc were taking a team that had Asik/Parsons as its second and third best player and had them 21-14 they would be getting a lot more MVP love than Harden has so far.

Re: Race to the MVP pt. III
Well with Harden you have to consider the slower start too. Harder's gotten a LOT better as the season has moved on, as have the Rockets' record. They are now on pace for 50 wins. If this keeps going in the same direction Harden will get a good amount of talk.
At the same time though, this is looking like a VERY strong year and that's something we need to recognize and just appreciate. Quite literally I think you can make the argument that Harden's both clearly outside the Top 5 and still better than Rose was when he won the MVP, and I say this as someone who didn't think Rose's MVP was a crazy vote (it was just a crazy year with no great candidates).

Harden's averaging 29.4/5/4 on .650~ TS% over his last 16 games, not counting tonight (which will help a tiny bit).

Re: Race to the MVP pt. III
The Thunder have actually gotten better (or atleast 100% maintained) so far after losing a possible top 5 MVP candidate? Durant is clearly the MVP then

Talking about stats or team record?
Because the Heat are 3-4 in the last 7 games with 2 of their victories coming in OT against the struggling Mavs and Orlando(with losses to Chicago,Indiana,Milwaukee and Detroit)
They better snap out of the funk on the upcoming west road trip because the way they are playing,they can lose grip to the Clippers and OKC

What's amusing is that LeBron is still putting up good numbers (save a 7 turnover performance against Indiana, but they're the best defensive team in the league).
It's the supporting cast that has to step up. Wade and Bosh are playing decently but Allen has gone AWOL and so has Battier.

Why does Dirk in 2010 matter? He didnt win the MVP either. That and Carmelo isn't even close to Dirks level. Clearly Dirk had talent around him too, look what happened last year without those guys.
Just show me a post from before the season where you talked about how good Melo's teammates were and I'll never question a thing you say again. Without looking, I'm going to say that doesn't exist.

Steph Curry should be getting more love. I mean the Warriors aren't quite a powerhouse, but with how they're doing in the stacked West... it's goin' good.

Steph Curry is 6th on the MVP ladder.... Which frankly is way too high. I am not even sure he is the most valuable player on his team. What makes him more valuable than David Lee?
Only the playoffs separate the true great ones and frauds.

Re: Race to the MVP pt. III
Curry is pretty far down
1. Durant
2. Lebron
3. CP3
4. Melo
5. Duncan
6. Kobe
He'd be somewhere after that. Harden might even be ahead of Kobe even though the rockets record against the west is really bad.

Don't get how that's relevant to my point. Are you trying to prove how bad the Knicks are by me saying or not saying how good his teammates are? I don't know what that will show. I've certainly praised Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd quite often. Never been that high on Felton and I've always thought JR Smith made a great 6th man.
What exactly do you want from me? I'm just saying his teammates arent horrible. Don't know why that would bother any Knick fans. Then again that was my whole point to begin with.
