The question with their offense - when you’re looking strictly at what they provide on the court and not their narrative, playoff standing, teammates, etc - isn’t so much the difference in their offense; it’s what you value in offense. Kawhi is a MUCH more efficient scorer, Russell scores much more. Per 100…

This is a good statistical analysis, which complements my point that “Russ racked up a shit ton of P, R, and A, therefore he’s the MVP” is a bad statistical analysis.

You forgot win totals.

1) This is the best MVP race in a decade. Probably 4, maybe upwards of 6 players could theoretically receive a 1st place vote. I don’t feel like spending 45 minutes on basketball reference, but that’s (I’m pretty sure) the most since 2008 when Kobe, CP3, KG and LeBron all got 1st place votes. It’s going to be an…

The NBA’s canny refusal to explicitly define the parameters of MVP annoys the part of my brain that likes to have this sort of argument, which makes me kind of zone out of a lot of “let’s debate MVP” talk. But if I had a vote, right now Westbrook would be my vote. That being said:

Russell Westbrook plays at best average defense and also by the way turns the ball over at a 5.5 per game rate. That’s a historically bad turnover rate. Harden is the same with even worse defense. Kawhi is the best perimeter defender in the NBA and still manages to put up big numbers on offense. I am so sick and tired…

PEDs?

The Warriors are such hypocrites. Showboating millennial takes off work early two days in a row, and no one bats an eye.

This is such a weak take, if people who had actually voted in prior elections had voted in this one instead of staying home it wouldn’t have even been close. Plus with the electoral system there are millions upon millions who could enact a protest vote and it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference because their state…

People that think Bernie cost Hillary the election are just like Trump claiming 3 million illegal aliens voted against him. Wishful thinking bullshit that props up their worldview. It makes as much sense to say that Bernie would have beaten Trump if the ‘it’s her turn’ crowd at the DNC hadn’t rigged the game in her…

Alternatively to YOUR alternatively, the fity-some-odd million fucking idiots that voted for Orange Julius could feel pretty shitty about voting for the guy....

Alternately, the Democratic party could feel kinda bad for putting the second-most disliked canddiate in history against the most-disliked candidate in history...

At least the name would make sense.
