Jokic is ont getting it as a 5 seed. Unless the Nuggets move up.


In your unbiased view lol. And luckily Nuggets are going for that easy top 3 seed with the way things are evolving, and quite possibly even better than that.

Ok not one bad game?


Look, 4-15 with 3 turnovers, losing to one of the worst teams in the league which misses half their players and their no1 option shoots like 8-24 or smth... That’s just trash, that doesn’t happen this season to the 3 guys I named. And overall his averages are worse than Jokic’s, Lillard’s Giannis’s, impact stats too

Magic wasn’t missing half their players bozo.Vucice, Gordon, Fournier were all there. Where do you come up with this stuff? It seems you are a box score watcher so atleast go see the box score.


As for his impact stats, he is only second to Lillard in clutch points this season. Has the most per wins since KD went out and has averaged a triple double in the last 15 games with the Nets going 14-1 in that span. Just stop

When you get an nba MVP vote then comeback. He might or he might not, but to say he has no definitive chance is not accurate.

I think this is now between Giannis and Jokic. Jokic's team success will be his qualifier otherwise it may end up just defaulting to Giannis because of all of the injuries.

He got back in the game for a while.
He hit the 3 and left. With this 3 he reached 10pts. He has the longest double digit scoring record in the game.
It would have been idiotic and absurd if he got back in, only to keep the streak going and he made things worse.
I hope that this wasn't the case.

Yeah it's probably Jokic now. Kinda lame for it to go to someone on a low seeded team really. LeBron was playing out of his mind.

In case you haven't noticed, the field is pretty slim at this point.

It would really suck if Jokic's MVP becomes tainted with the "Embiid and Bron got hurt" stuff. He's been absolutely insane all season and if the Nuggets continue winning more he's a totally worthy MVP.

He doesn't deserve MVP award nor anything was stolen from him . He did quit on the Rockets to join the super team, he is not the MVP, he's a quitter, who is looking for an easy way to the championship :wink:

Jokic have a zero chance to win MVP award , the most so called sport writers and broadcasters are pretty much like this clown below :wink: And they are the ones who vote.

Well we've read for MONTHS now that Kawhi has no chance, KD has no chance, because injury counts against a guy and if he is out frequently or for extended time, he cant be in consideration. I hope guys are consistent now, or will we see another wave of "creativity", explaining how this injury is very different from all other injuries?

I think that now that the media driven case has been taken away, we'll actually have a very very intersting race this year. Usually a two way race it now feels like we have at least four or five legit guys who can turn it around until seasons end.
