It was David Thorpe btw. His ballot went Wade-Howard-James-Bryant-Rose Another anti-Bulls loser. He got all butthurt because of the way the Bulls yanked Tyrus Thomas around.
-
Howard finally expands his offensive game and his team gets appreciably worse mvp
-
Also the NBA mvp is kinda a big deal imo. I couldn't tel you who was nfl mvp a few years ago (besides "randomly" picking brady or manning) but I can tell you who was nba mvp going back pretty far. Its a well marketed award.

You're reflexively taking the position that these advanced metrics are always a better gauge of value than a little bit of stats and a little bit of the eye test. 1) Sometimes the model stinks (just because these stats are advanced compared to their precedecessors doesn't necessarily make them all that great; I think a lot of these numbers are getting the SABR treatment when they fall wayyyy short of them in actually quantifying value) 2) Even if the model doesn't stink it doesn't work the same way in all cases I mean if these metrics are enough to say Rose isn't a real MVP contender then why weren't the militant stat heads waving the Kevin Love for MVP banner earlier on? To me, that's just a tacit admission that their numbers can be misleading.

Where did Scott bottom out in the world rankings? I coulda swore he was a complete after thought for awhile. Kinda like Dimarco is now.
-
The Lakers sideline reporter is pretty crack whorey looking. Who does it for Blackhawks? Shee might be the hottest in the business. And yeah good game. No defense at all. Brooks finally is giving Ibaka real burn.
-
Agreed on belly putters but Scott wasnt top 20 was he? I thought he firmly in bust territory as far as how good people thought he would be.

TIGER ON THE PROWL etc
-
Rory scared
-
cuz there's still stuff to play for. Noah played 18 minutes this game WITH Howard suspended. Clearly Thibs doesn't think this is a finished product. It's not like Noah and Boozer should be worn down for the playoffs.
-
Here we go.
-
mvp
-
Capture that in PER you [expletive] goofus Hollinger
-
There's also the fact that Boozer and Noah still haven't developed a solid chemistry (hasn't been in the game in the 4th quarter at all from what I can see) and that won't happen the right way without Rose on the floor.
-
Rose was fouled on 4 different occasions there but it's called off on him.
-
We still have the #1 overall seed to play for
-
[expletive] off goomba
-
[expletive] off Ryan Anderson
-
again
-
Boozer has not faced up one time without turning it over.
-
It's ok the best team in Chicago is still playing 8-)
-
[meph] jeff demps is the greatest back in ncaa history, damn near 10 yards per carry!!! [/meph]
-
Demarco murray this guy has a higher ypc than peterson clearly better Come at me bro
-
imb what it do I know you're cool enough that you don't treat all that hollinger crap as gospel
-
Vehicular manslaughter is the new firm minimum.
