MVP discussion thread

[fallacy]

Aldridge is definitely 4th right now, could even pass George

[pacers33granger]

A 38-13-5 game against OKC in a win and tonight a 31-25-2-2-2 game against Houston in a win. Can't believe how good he's been this year.

Also had 28-10 against Indy and was the sole reason the Blazers won that game. He just kept hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. He also limited West to 6-14 shooting and no free throws.

Aldridge might not have the number averages of a Lebron or Durant, but if he keeps coming up big in these nationally televised games, he really could "steal" the MVP. If the Blazers hit 60+ wins and have more wins the Thunder/Heat, he really has a solid chance at winning it.

[fallacy]

Aldridge averaging 23/10/3 on 48/00/80 shooting, .523 ts%. I think I'd put him ahead of george right now

1. Durant
2. Lebron
3. Aldridge
4. George

[AgentGreen]

That was really impressive by Aldridge, a career high, dude must be climbing that ladder now.

[Klomp]

I know his MVP bid has fallen off a bit, but this is still impressive

To add onto that post from Wednesday:

Only seven other players since 1985 have reached the same 25-15-5 line more than six times in a season. Twenty-two games into the season, Love is already poised to climb up that list. Shaquille O'Neal holds the top mark with 12 games of 25-15-5.

1)Durant
2)George / Aldridge
3)Lebron

[Hans Embiid]

I made a statement 2 weeks ago. Since then a lot has changed.

Clippers lost games, Durant is DOMINATING, Aldridge is beasting and the Heat don't even care.

Lebron is Lebron, Aldridge is Portland, Pacers are pretty balanced and Durant is BALLIN!

Seriously right now this is my MVP standing:

1 Durant
2 Aldridge
3 LeBron
4 George
5 Paul

[52-12-7]

1. KD
2. LMA
3. George
4. Lebron

[khufure]

LMA reminding me of Rose in 2010-2011. He may not have the stats of KD or Lebron but he's got the team on his back and they're winning.

last nights game.Aldridge was a sight to see. it was my first blazers game of the season. aldridge should be in the top 5 list,

[fallacy]

NBA.com released their new MVP rankings today after last night's Portland game. Here they are...

http://www.nba.com/mvp-ladder/

1. Durant
2. George
3. Lebron
4. Parker
5. Aldridge
6. Curry
7. Paul
8. Love
9. Harden
10. Westbrook

I think George is too high and Aldridge is too low. Anyone outside the top 5 are irrelevant for the award

[ShowTimeERA]

Thus far

Durant

George
Lebron/LMA

9. Harden
10. Westbrook

I'm a little surprised to see Parker still ahead of Aldridge, and Paul to fall that far. Otherwise I agree with the top order.

[mademan]

I think it should be

Durant
Lebron
George/Aldridge

[fallacy]

Paul George trying to play himself out of the MVP race tonight

[QPR]

I genuienly think if LeBron gets this Heat team to 55-60 wins, given Wade's issues and Bosh's passiveness, that's even more impressive than George and the Pacers/Durant and the Thunder getting to 65+

It's also crazy that KD can play like this, becoming a genuinely excellent defender and play maker while not losing any of the offensive efficiency, and still not bridge the gap between himself and LeBron.

[WinisKing]

I see Durant is feasting and beasting in the past few games. If he can keep up his monstrous production like this, it'll bring some viable conversation about who is currently the NBA best player.

[fallacy]

Durant: 31 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 10-13 fg, 3-5 3pt, 8/8 FT


oh yeah, he only played three quarters

[makaveli_99]

KD is tearing it up.
