Anthony Edwards is a helluva player and has a super bright future ahead of him, but listening to some pundits trying to put him in the MVP conversation for this year is nothing short of laughably pathetic.

Almost as bad as Stephen gAe's Tatum take. Dude said Embiid was the MVP up until Embiid got hurt, then switched to the "Best Player on Best Team" narrative. So he had some sort of criteria to select Embiid, but then when he goes down whatever that criteria was goes in the toilet for a new one, which of course goes to a popular American player in the league's perhaps second most popular team, and skips over the rest of the folks that all deserve it way more than Tatum, but are foreign on smaller market teams (Giannis, Jokic, SGA, Doncic).

Clown doesn't deserve to have a vote.

The feeling for most of the games I get since the all-star game is they feel out in the first quarter, make a judgment that they can win when they want to. Then coast..... and get serious in crunch time.

That said, any regular season is just one game, and so I'm rarely surprised with any results.

Edit: LOL at Jokic getting fouled repeatedly and putting up shots thinking the refs are actually going to do their job. His whistle is so much worse than Embiid's and Giannis' it's shocking.

Edit 2: Just saw Malone get a T (Im a bit behind). Good for him, no way he should let this shit slide, else it will just get worse in the playoffs.

Mike Malone getting T'ed up early because Jockitch isn't getting the calls.

This seems like the season where an 8th seed can win it all... Boston and Denver can win by 30 one game and lose by 30 the next
 
Nuggets lucky to be up at the half. Mavs three point shooting has been horrendous. I expect that to improve. Also expect Denver to tighten their interior defense in the second half.

Gaff and DLive have completely changed the Mavs ability to compete in the paint, not only offensively but rim protecting on the other end. Prior to picking those two guys up the Mavs had zero rim protection. What is surprising to me every time I see it is the size of the Nuggets. Is everyone on that team 6'10"? Damn.
