Twolves are one of my top 5 teams to watch this season.Ironman92;1765404 wrote:TWolves with some young guys on the team. Garnett and Andre Miller were both in the NBA in the 1990's and Tayshaun Prince nearing in on 1,000 games....spring chicken Kevin Martin in there also

Favorite Teams to watch thus far:
1. Cavs
2. GSW
3. Wolves
4. Bucks
5. Between Spurs and OKC, I'll go OKC bc of Westbrook.
I doubt they get 12. Less than 10 wins is my guess.Ironman92;1765398 wrote:Martin seals the win for Wolves....76ers will get 12 wins on the year.
I did watch the series. It ended with a parade in Oakland I believelike_that;1765364 wrote:I take it you didn't watch any of the series. Anyway, this post is funny coming from the guy who thinks the tigers are the greatest baseball team alive (last place in the division and never won a WS title despite bragging about previous division titles LOL), matt stafford is a good QB (LOL), calvin johnson is still a top 5 WR, and says stupid shit like this:
I am surprised you are out of hiding with how shitty the tigers and lions are. I guess as long as the Pistons flirt with the 7-8 seed you will be around to provide us some lulz with your stupidity.
That's one way to look at it. The way I look at it, through schadenfreude-tinted glasses, is that it's awesome to watch him suck this much.HighRoller74;1765645 wrote:Kobe really needs to just hang it up.....its depressing watching him play this poorly.
He's still the highest paid player in the NBA. The reality is, he could come back next year and the Lakers would pay him.HighRoller74;1765645 wrote:Kobe really needs to just hang it up.....its depressing watching him play this poorly.
He's also the only career achievement winner of the MVP award in the history of the NBA. He didn't deserve that MVP IMO.sleeper;1765704 wrote:He's still the highest paid player in the NBA. The reality is, he could come back next year and the Lakers would pay him.
He's garbage though and has been the last few years.
This is true. He did deserve one of the Steve Nash MVP's so it all evened out in the end.Commander of Awesome;1765714 wrote:He's also the only career achievement winner of the MVP award in the history of the NBA. He didn't deserve that MVP IMO.
Harden is in his prime and he still blows.Heretic;1765725 wrote:And you guys were making of Harden and how he was going 39% over 10 games with his usual volume shooting. Kobe is making that look All-Star this year. About 30% and leading the team in shot attempts. Amazingly, the Lakers still are better than Philly despite this.
Steve Nash didn't deserve either of his MVPs. LBJ deserved all 3 of those MVPs IMO.sleeper;1765730 wrote:This is true. He did deserve one of the Steve Nash MVP's so it all evened out in the end.
You could make a pretty strong argument that LBJ deserves the MVP for every year he's been in the NBA.Commander of Awesome;1765733 wrote:Steve Nash didn't deserve either of his MVPs. LBJ deserved all 3 of those MVPs IMO.
MVP is really easy for me, who's the best player. Pretty simple. And by that criteria, LBJ should have at least 5 or 6 MVPs.sleeper;1765738 wrote:You could make a pretty strong argument that LBJ deserves the MVP for every year he's been in the NBA.
It really depends on how you define MVP; is it the best player? Is it the best player on the best team? Is it the player who's most valuable to his team's success?
Using criteria 1 and 3, Lebron wins it every year. The issue is Lebron's Cavs teams in his early years were just not that great so when the media wants to push criteria 2, sometimes Lebron gets left in the dust.
Yeah, the fun thing about that was how those guys always wound up going against the Bulls in the finals when they'd win MVP. So we all got Pissed Off Jordan looking to show just who the real MVP was. Those performances were always awe-inspiring.Azubuike24;1765746 wrote:The problem is, guys like LBJ set the bar so high, if they don't keep exceeding that or their team isn't incredibly dominant, they look for others to spread the wealth.
Michael Jordan literally had the best stats (and the best team) for over a decade, but guys like Barkley and Malone were thrown bones. Also, had he not retired, he likely has 2 more because looking at his numbers right before retiring and right after, he literally missed what would've been 2 of his best 4 or 5 years.
