The MVP race is still close so every game he doesn't play, while others continue to add to their stats is going to see him slip in the rankings. I have him 3rd behind Jokic and Embiid at the moment but I'm already contemplating putting LeBron ahead of him, while KD also isn't too far behind. Doncic and Vucevic have been lights out but you can't win MVP with a losing record and I don't think Giannis, Dame and Steph have played well enough to get serious MVP consideration. AD should be somewhere in the conversation but it's hard to win the award with LeBron on your team. Jaylen Brown is another guy who is still firmly in the race but if we're being realistic he's not a likely candidate.
I think Kawhi has been the best player, but with him sitting out recently, I would probably also move him behind Jokic and Embiid. Anyway, I have a formula, so I don't have to think!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yeah, KD is top five.
I'd also include Conley, which will draw ridicule, but I think he was like 40 points ahead of the next closest player in +/- before last night. He was like +150 and then LeBron and Kawhi were like +110. Then he was +14 last night, tops on the team, as usual.
Maybe the
real MVP is Conley+Gobert. Can GobCon become a thing?
No, it can't, I know.
I'll probably post the next results of my formula like next Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.
