His entire narrative was "The old MVP Rose is gone people, get used to it, this will not be the same Rose". He could still be right, but after each passing game it looks like he will be wrong.

Quin Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 What doesn’t come through in highlights, and what’s made watching Mirotic these first 25 games my favorite part of this season, are the little things. Yes, the guy can shoot. A little slump has him at 33 percent from 3, but it’s clear that he can fill it up from out there. But shooting is an afterthought when it comes to what he has added for the Bulls. The guy plays like a maniac. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nba-shoo...players-so-far/ If this Bulls team fires on all cylinders, it's hard to see anyone stopping them.

thxfrthmmrs Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 So Westbrook is averaging close to a point per minute right now. At this point, his strengths significantly outweighs his weaknesses. Good luck defending that when Durant's healthy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams haven't had a problem in the past beating them together in the playoffs. I'm starting to doubt KD will be healthy this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Over the past 3 years, they've lost to eventual NBA champions twice, and in 2013 they got sent home early after Westbrook torn his meniscus in the first round. It's not hard to imagine them finally getting over the hump with the improved play of Westbrook and even Reggie Jackson. The only thing working against them, besides the health of KD, is their road to the Finals will be a lot tougher with the record they have.

Brian Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Re: Thunder It sucks that Perkins is making so much because with him out there it is 5 on 4.

thxfrthmmrs Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The faster Steven Adams develops, the more minutes he will take away from Perkins. He's a good looking young player sans the creepy Mo. But I agree that their only glaring weakness is front court depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think Anthony Davis would win MVP if the season ended now. He's definitely been the best and most valuable player so far, because he is the best combo of defense and offensive efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Tyreke Evans is schooling Jimmy Butler. I don't think I've seen Jimmy struggle so much defensively. Still early though. Edited December 28, 2014 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team isn't even in the playoffs at this point (it's not his fault). He might be the most talented player in the league at this point, but MVP won't be his award to win.
