Anyone know the record of newly crowned MVPs to lose immediately after in the playoffs?



Maybe Derrick Rose versus the Heat? Not sure when it was announced to when he lost though

The Blazers suck. Dame has to play out of his mind all season just to get them into the playoffs.

Can't tell if this is serious or a joke ha. But they are just both quiet and stoic, but they are the type to help the opponent up. Pat them on the back. And then hit them with a dagger

It's true! Timmy said it in a recent interview earlier this year.

And I agree about the rest. Joker doesn't get ref respect on calls, but I'd say the main difference is that Timmy wasn't as rattled by the highs and lows of a game and by ref calls (well, perhaps except for Crawford...).

Also, it's said they're both way funnier than you'd expect. They seem like cool guys to hang out with.

First off Portland has flaws... Most importantly though stop underrating the Suns.

Suns are the deepest team in the NBA.

He is not an adequate Jermai Grant replacement

Aaron Gordon is a better fit for the Nuggets when they're at full strength than Jeremi Grant. He's a better defender and at best a 4th/5th option when Murray is playing alongside.

One of those Nuggets wins could be attributed to Austin Rivers shooting like prime Ray Allen.

He lost in the ECF if I'm not mistaken.

Gotta wonder what a Luka and Booker backcourt would've looked like.

Austin Rivers has had a decent run in the playoffs, but now he’s getting too overconfident. He needs to take a step back

Campazzo looks like he struggles with the speed of the NBA game.

There’s nothing worse than players complaining when it’s a clear foul. Campazzo rakes Bookers face and has the nerve to say it wasn’t a foul

I think Campazzo had a few Red Bulls before the game.

Suns being careless with the ball.

If it isn’t Paul, its Booker. Deadly.

Still can’t believe how badly the Nuggets are shooting. This has got to get better at some point…right ?

Especially Crowder. That’s two quick turnovers that led to 5 Denver points.
