The Greek Freak is making a real tilt for the MVP. His form of late has been quite something.
Three horse race in my view - TGF, Joker and Embiid
Windhorst was on one of the shows today, and it was interesting as he talked about a survey of voters suggesting that the Joker has it sewn up.
Lots of pretty fantastic players around, so treckon this season is beat because there are young players stepping up, plus the established stars.
The only disappointment for me has been Zions absence. What are the thoughts on that? Would you stay?

They've long been considered the top three. Mounting comments in media and social media around Devin Booker's omission from the conversation. The general feeling is how can a guy averaging 26/5/5 on a team with 60+ wins, not be right up there? Surely Book's impact on the Suns results is equal to if not greater than that top 3? And there is a stat floating around about his numbers, the Sun's record and now many blokes in his position have won the MVP.

Having a phenomenal season but I think you answer your own question - because it’s only 26/5/5.
Book for me is in that next tier with DeRozan, Luka, Morant and Curry (despite the shooting woes etc was still getting 25/5/6).
It’s not always about the numbers but it sort of is.

@act-crusader Yeah totally, and the goal posts seem to shift re criteria, regularly. Steve Nash won one of his two averaging 16/11!

Grizzlies beat the Suns without Morant, Bane, Jackson Jr and Adams.
Great to see Brooks back and firing.
They are not going to be able to hold on to all these great young players. Teams will come knocking with the cheque book

Clippers torch the Bucks (they didn’t have their big 3). Covington on fire with 10 3s.

Nash: Simmons out of regular season, play-in
Still dealing with a herniated disk in his back, Ben Simmons has been ruled out of the regular season, according to Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, who also said he would be "shocked" if Simmons appeared in the Nets' play-in game next week.
Clearly the Nets didn't trade for Simmons to help them immediately..... 🙄 🤷♂️

I was thinking, with Lebron on contract for another year, MJ should trade all his stars for him as one last "fuck you" to the GOAT-pretender. Imagine the ignominy for Lebron of getting traded and playing for MJ in Washington on a team with no help.
Absolutely savage. Do you mean Charlotte though, not Washington?

Final day of the regular season, and first string players will be watching everywhere
In the West the play-ins were decided a while back, with the T-Wolves hosting the Clippers in the "major" and Pels hosting the Spurs in the "minor". Clippers suddenly look really good and i expect them to win. Spurs will win too if Murray is healthy.
Nets v Cavs and Hawks v Hornets in the East
After that the fun starts.
Oh, interesting stat i just read. Trey Young the first person to lead the league in total points and total assists in a single season in both the NBA and the NCAA
