No Westbrook? Third straight MVP for the slight. Calling it now.

How is westbrook not starting?
That is absolutely absurd.

Kinda makes the entire thing seem silly
Now, maybe the writers did it to make Westbrook even more pissed/motivated.

Yea he should definitely be in instead of Stephanie Curry, but you know Stephanie is the NBA slut so of course they have to have him in there.

I find it weird ZaZa lost the lead last minute :lol:

Chill the F out. He;ll eventually get in. Being a starter is a bonus. Plus, He might have been #1 or #2 from Players and Media votes. It's just the Fan voting that **** him up by getting #3. Slight margin. He'll be alright.

He may be #2 on fan voting, but definitely 14 votes (you know I mean) from players and media. so 49.9% pulled him out (Gladly).

Who ain't in 1st place? Who wasn't in the finals lately? Fans vote as they want. :roll:

If Westbrook was in the East... he's FOR SURE starting.

If Westbrook was in a larger market he would be starting over Curry.

Harden isn't in first place and hasn't been to the finals in a while.

It's tough... the 2 top MVP candidates and the back to back reigning MVP are all Western conference backcourt players. It's gotta be a rare situation for that to happen.

Well deserved.

Thunder sucks and he do not make other players better. He is only padding his stats.
