I don't see those conference stuff being brought up during 18-19, where 5 out of 6 worst teams were in the East. The 14th Minny was only 8 games off a playoff spot in East. Rockets were just one Paul George buzz beater or a Michael Malone tanking trick away from the 2 seed, whereas the Bucks, only 2 games over Toronto (and Toronto lost 2 games on Jeremy Lamb half court heaves). Two of the worst 5 teams were from the Central division, the other 3 worst teams? Knicks, Hawks, Wizards, all played the Bucks 4 times (as an alternative to 3 games a year).
I get that Giannis is a deserved winner in 2019 and Jokic is the fan favorite this year because he both plays at a very high level and a fan favorite with such a likeable game compared to that other candidate, but some of you really need to let go of that obsession trying to discredit one player as hard as you can just because you don't like his game.
You do know that BKN has only 3 more wins than DEN? Its not like BKN has 35 wins and DEN 25.. And thats with Denver having a lot of issues with roster, like almost everyone besides Jokic missed some time.. Porter was out 2 times, we started season without Green, Morris is not playing for some time now, Harris was out and he was our starting SG and reason why we got back into UTA series last year, Facu, PJ, Barton, Millsap, Murray, all of them missed some games, and we had Facu, Green, Hartenstein as new players, and PJ who only got some minutes in PO because he had to with Barton being out. You also take into account making MPJ work with starters while also missing some games 2 times already, not sure how many games but it doesnt help to integrate him into starting lineup. We also lost Grant, Plumlee, Craig who all played good for Denver last year. Not to mention Murray being off in most of the games to start the season, he started playing good like month ago or so..
