Nuggets are winning the next 2 games and eliminating the Lakers in 6! Jokic is taking the crown!

This game will probably be a closer one than last game and I’m expecting Lakers to pull out a victory and this thread becoming another refs complaint thread.

it come to my attention that AD may be the favorite for FMVP.

instead of discussing the semantics of its effect on lebrons legacy i want to point out the semantics of why he would the favorite.

lebron gets credit for being the better player but a lot of it based on team success minus the other.
this perspective was created over a period time and during the absence of the other.
in a vacuum , particularly a 7 game series, its very likely AD could be the teams leading scorer while being their best defender. its really possible that AD could earn the FMVP and not lebron.

as far as responses, any commentary on any of the points i stated is welcome but i wanted to discuss the possibility of AD possibly having a better shot of FMVP than Lebron.

LeBron is a lot more valuable to the Lakers than AD is; the on/off numbers show that. But yeah, AD has a decent chance at Finals MVP regardless. His best shot at it would come against Boston.

Nuggets have the Lakers just where they want them. Just need the Lakers to go 3-1 and then bam.

Just kidding, I think the Lakers win in 5 or 6. Hope I am wrong. Hope for a competitive series at least.... :P

Hopefully we actually get a basketball game this time rather than whatever Scott Foster made that first one. Think the Lakers got this, but at least make it a sporting event.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nuggets win tonight after some controversial calls go in their favor.

I was arguing about that with my friends who are huge Lakers homers, they don't believe that the refs ever show them favoritism :lol: my buddy kept saying they got alot of free throws because they attack the paint more than any other team, I said hmm that's strange there have only been 2 other teams to shoot more free throws in a half in playoff history, why hadn't anyone thought of doing that before?! The Lakers must just be really smart.

Lakers probably win again tonight with 8 fouls on Jokic, 9 on Murray and 7 on Milsap.

Nuggets definitely need to learn how to be disciplined and not breathe on Laker players.

Amirite?

Getting a bit ahead of things here since the Lakers haven't won the WCF much less the Finals, but I would think if the Lakers beat the Celtics, AD has the best chance at FMVP since he should be able to dominate that series. If the Lakers face the Heat, LeBron probably has a bigger advantage.

No one ever cared about Finals MVPs until MJ won 6 of them. The 80s stars like Magic, Bird, and Isiah only won about half of their teams FMVPs. Because who really cares.
