Re: 2012/13 MVP

Ummm.....

Can I ask just how you came to this conclusion?

LeBron James.

[ojandpizza]

He is completely coasting through the regular season lol It's crazy that's he's averaging these number without even really putting forth effort

The only thing keeping Durant from completely dominating is himself. This is a guy who could easily average 33-35 easily on amazing efficiency along with 8 boards and like 3 assist but he's just overly passive that sometimes he ends up not making an impact on the court from time to time like the first quarter of this game and in the Finals.

Idk if any player scoring 33-35 PPG would be good for their team, but don't you think LeBron could do that too?

Of course! I mean he averaged 31 in his 3rd year without a jumpshot or any semblance of a post game but now that he's on the heat It wouldn't be good to average 33-35 because still has to feed Wade, Bosh, Allen, Battier, Miller since he's basically the PG.
For Durant I don't think it'd kill the efficiency of the team bc Durant gets most to all of his shots come in the flow and he tends to over pass(especially early in games) and passing up on open looks. If he and Westbrook switched shot attempts he'd be a shade up 32 which if you could get Westbrook to give up shots to Durant I count that as a win

If the Knicks finish atop the East, and that's a big if, it has to be Melo. And coming from someone who was the self-proclaimed 'biggest Melo ***** on the planet', that's saying a lot.

I could argue that Kidd (or any of their point guards) is more important to the success of the Knicks this year than Melo has been. They've been all about ball movement this year, something that Melo's never really been known for.

Re: 2012/13 MVP

I think right now Melo is the leading candidate. After last nights game. It's still LeBron James award to lose. But if the Knicks can keep it up. I see Melo walking away with it. But like someone said it's all about where his team finishes.

So if their records end up being equal you still see Melo winning?

You could, but that wouldn't make it any more right.

But please, make a case for Felton or Prigioni. It would literally make my night.

If you want to make a case for Kidd, go for it. I'll shoot that down too.

Melo is definitely ballin' right now and the Knicks have made a major improvement..

If they finish with the best record in the league I could see Melo getting it.. But I think that's about the only way he could. LeBron and Durant just do too much for their teams, and Kobe is having a nice year as well despite how bad the Lakers are playing.

Re: 2012/13 MVP

Who's your MVP right now guys?

To me it's LeBron, early in the season I had Melo, but he's slowed down and LeBron is starting to pick up steam, December was arguably the best month in his career with 27.5 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 7.5 APG on 56% shooting.

So as of now, my MVP is LeBron.

Re: 2012/13 MVP

I don't know, if I had to choose...

Probably Luke Walton or Omri Casspi.

Re: 2012/13 MVP

LeBron is having a beast year, but I wouldn't be surprised if Melo walks away with it if the Knicks can finish the year like they started it.

This is what I thought originally. If the Knicks land the best record in the league.. But I highly doubt they finish ahead of both the Heat and Thunder.. I don't think Melo can win it if he's behind either of those guys in the win column because his numbers alone definitely aren't better than theirs.
