I think PER is a pretty good statistic.

Guess who's #2 in the league in PER.... Dwyane Wade. Wade also has the highest PER for this month. This is going to hurt Lebron's MVP chances.

Fuck New Jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg Oden is out for the entire season again after latest surgery.

Is he the biggest bust in the league's history?

Glad the T-Dogs didn't pick him that year.

Why should the Queen, Kobe or even Durant even really be in the discussion? I can see Durant being at the top of the discussion but certainly not the Queen and probably not Kobe.

and haters keep hating. right now lebron is the mvp of this season.

Michael Beasley F (T-Wolves), James Anderson G (Spurs) and Marvin Williams F (Hawks) have all requested trades out of their current situations.

"Lin-Sanity" is on it's way down the shitter.

Dude looked like he hadn't slept in 2 weeks last night; tired and gassed.

Deron smashed him up.

No match for "D-Will to win" and "Krusher" Kris Humphries. :1orglaugh

 

[Rezen]

Sucks for Oden but sucks for the forever cursed Blazer too. They could have drafted Durant....

 

[Rezen]

Fuck New Jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed! D Will was beast though. Melo was real rusty should play better down the road.

 

[alexpnz]

I know Kris Humphries gets the business because of the whole Kardashian thing but dude CAN ball.

Always hits the boards hard and doesn't let dudes clown him in the paint.

I've watched every Knick game this year and Lin looked no more tired than he has in any of the games. Plus, he played pretty well, his defense is lacking but the Knicks loss was not his fault at all. Stat needs to pick up his game and Melo needs some more time to knock off the rust. There were some horrible foul calls on Chandler when it was Hump that made contact first, excuse? yes but I need something to grasp onto with this embarrassing loss. It's not right to blame Lin though.

 

[Rezen]

Hump's a double-double a night basically. He has the skill to put up ten and ten any game. I love how he gets booed in every city though and him hushing the crowd last night was brutal for me but funny in hindsight.

Beaz and Marvin have not lived up to their potential. It's going to be hard to get good value for them.

He was gassed last night and outclassed by D-Will.

He played right around 40 mins and had all he wanted.

I'm not claiming he's D-Will. Williams is top 3 PG in the NBA, of course he's gonna get out classed. He was not to blame for that loss though, come on he had fewer turnovers and put up 21, 9 and 7, in noway was it Jeremy's fault.

How anyone thinks that King James is not the league MVP this year is beyond me. Only Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant should be mentioned in the same breathe as Lebron. All hail the king baby!

Kevin Love needs mention too. Top 3 in rebounds and scoring!

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

And not surrounded by a bunch of all stars and veterans either. Wolves still youngest team in the league - Rubio, Williams, Pekovic - all rookie or sophomore.

Kevin Love deserves mention, but there's no way he wins MVP. The MVP usually goes to players on contending teams. The T-Wolves currently have a losing record.

Not fair, but that's how it usually goes.

They're getting quite good. Rubio is one of the best passers the league has seen since prime Pistol Pete and Magic. They give me the feeling that OKC gave me a couple years ago, if they stick together they will be contenders.

I think this season they have a chance to finish above .500. They've been sitting around that for most the year, they might not make the playoffs but if they do the Love for MVP talk will heat up.

It's too early yet. Wolves - hard as this is to type - are in contention for a playoff spot almost half way through (albeit small) season.

Looking back at their games this year they could have been 18-15, maybe even 19-14. Just the way the bounces have went so far.
