I think it's the Houston thing.

Yea I don’t think it helped at all say the least . He gave up on the rockets to join 2 other stars . Having Irving , joe Harris makes his life a lot easier then before .

Jazz and Phoenix just dropped the ball, allowing Lakers to swoop in and take back the 2nd seed. 2 GB Jazz. The puzzle is coming together boys.
At least watch the 4th quarter of Lakers vs. Hornets. No. 23 just had a BBQ on both ends of the floor.

Have a feeling if Lebron starts pulling away with the MVP, it’s gunna be straight crickets in this thread.

I feel like it should be Lebron.
He has been the most consistent this season.

Lillard is the MVP so far in my opinion. What this dude is doing is **** insane. Doing it with CJ and Nurk being out.

Damn, Lakers with the #1 defense and only 1.5 games back of the best record in the league with AD missing a **** ton of games. Wonder how they're doing that when LeBron's MVP case is just narrative.

Except when he went on a losing streak and this thread was full of excuses of course.

Schroder came back and they went on a winning run. Excuses were vindicated

Schröder is an excellent player. Won't deny it.

I'm not a fan of Harden and LeBron, but I must admit they're in the conversation.

Jokic is still clearly ahead, IMO.

Was there a stickied MVP thread when Curry won unanimous MVP?

For some reason, I seem to remember there wasn't even a stickied thread all season.

First time I ever saw it.

The starting lineup of the lakers in the last few games are....

LeBron James
Dennis Schröder
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Markieff Morris
Damian Jones

It's not an elite lineup outside of LBJ, despite that the lakers are fighting for the first seed in the west and the best record in the NBA even if Davis has been out for almost half of the season so far
