When to people vote for the MVP? I mean isn't it suppose to be already? If it is going to happen anytime after the headbutt that could change things, not statistically or team wise or anything but the narrative could change. After all NBA wouldn't want a head butting person as their MVP. I agree that just one move shouldn't change much about mvp race, however we can't influence people and some may actually think like that.
I think it is not as important as previous years, this years MVP will be basically like an MVP of a lockout season, not as important as the other ones. Plus Giannis got one anyway, it wouldn't really matter too much if he fails to get this year. I feel like Harden should have been given a chance, even maybe Jokic because Nuggets are doing so well thanks to him.

Out of all teams, Portland has the best situation, they simply have to win and they secured 8th spot. Next in line is Memphis, that can get 8th spot if they win and Portland losses. Phoenix has to win and then hope for Portland and Memphis to loose in order to secure 8th spot. Spurs can't reach 8th spot, best for them is 9th, if Grizlies and Phoneix looses.
I think both Portland Blazers and Phoenix Suns are gonna win their games. I am not sure about Grizzlies though since Bucks are a difficult opponent but it is also hard to say since they are without Giannis. I think it's gonna be Blazers to secure the 8th spot - Nets have playing quite well without their regular players but I feel like it's gonna end here today against Blazers.
Tonight is the night! We are finally going to learn who will play who for the playoff spot tonight! I can't contain my excitement, in few hours there is going to be the most exciting game of NBA for a long period of time. well playoffs could actually be more entertaining but not at around first round for sure, probably not even second round, the only thing that could be more thrilling than tonights games would be actually conference finals at the very best.
I am still in full support of supports, if we win and 2 other teams loses, we are making it to play in for sure, it is going to be so much fun, I want the streak to be alive! However if it doesn't happen, that would be dissapointing but understandable, we are missing a big piece with Lamarcus Aldridge and I think that could be a quite valid reason why we couldn't make it to playoffs.

I am fan of Giannis and of course with the team also that always shows good plays. Now that they are already in the playoffs then pretty sure that they learn on their loss during the finals in the eastern conference where Kawhi made a lucky shot. Anyway, past is pass and no one could make it back to happen again. It was a good experience for this young team though and if it will going to happen again then pretty sure they can make more adjustments and will got probably this time. Well I hope of that to happen.
There's no lucky shot, it's literally a ball bouncing on the way to the basket, whatevs. They clearly are the favorites by now as well as the Lakers to the West but hoping that they'll not choke up again this time. True. This could affect and cost him the MVP race but let stats speak that for himself and the race. I'm a fanboy of his and very disappointed when I've get to see him did that.
So frustrating being a fan.
I don't think that would totally affect on the race but let's see, I'm still rooting he'll get it again this time, not with just some headbutt hindrances. Physicality then get heated, that's basketball, love watching old time era. So frustrating being a fan.

He will not win the MVP this season because of that, lol.
Giannis was supposed to be a good example for the fans, headbutting his opponent because he got heated is wrong, now, coaches knows his weakness, they will exploit him in the playoffs and I don't see any chance Bucks will advance in the finals, sorry, that's because of the headbutt.
Meanwhile, have you seen Lillard goating again? Damn that guy should get an award being an MVP in the bubble.
So frustrating being a fan.
Not a smart guy to handle his temper, if it was Kobe and Lebron, they'll just let it go but they'll still win in the end.
They make a revenge that is not obvious to the fans, lol.. anyway, what is done is done, I think there's less competition with him on MVP race, so he'll still win.

Attitude is not a factor when in terms of choosing Season MVP. Even how arrogant a player or doing trashtalks, stats will always be the key factor for being an MVP.
But I agree that Giannis' action should not be tolerated. A fine should do.
Recently, I noticed Giannis becoming a crybaby. He's been in always in heated and arguments play this season and not ended up being like that. I think the bubble does have an enigmatic aura that enters Giannis' mind lol.
Giannis just show that he is a human and it will not affect on everything since it all matter on stats produced by him.
That's correct, he is a human but hopefully he will learn from that mistake, he can't get involved into fight every time as that would affect the team. Remember, he is the MVP in the league and in his team, if he can't focus, that would make their team loss and they will again failed just like the last playoffs.
Also those head butting incident will just fade away as season will run since it will just covered up by the plays.
This is not the first time a superstar got trouble as well suspended for some un wanted actions and its just 1 game suspension so I think Giannis will heat up on his next game.

That's not really serious like there's a brawl happens, a simple headbutt and other players does not even react on it.
It will pass, Giannis will be Giannis which has already improve this season, hopefully more matured.

This really shows a bad image and good thing that he only being suspended for 1-game.It might not really be that a big violation but impression of fans will surely last forever.
Im not really that convinced that this one will affect in talks of MVP.

If it will affect, it might affect a bit.
According to the article I read, it's more on the statistics, there's no attitude in the court being stated to evaluate a player's qualification to become an MVP.

Tomorrow will be the night, we are going to finally see who will get that 8th and 9th seed, now we know that 9th team will be within 4 games of the 8th team for sure, there is no way that it will not be like that, they are almost all equal in games to each other so it is %100 guaranteed already. So what we need to just learn is the last games, lets see who will do how. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be shocked at 4 wins from those 4 teams as well, or even 4 losses from those 4 teams, everything seems possible.
As an avid Spurs fan it would be horrible to see our playoff streak ending, but that is a quite big possibility right now, I would say we could actually do some damage on the last game, but unfortunately we can't matchup with Lakers, we would be destroyed.
I can't believe it, Grizzlies lost and the team with the highest chance to go to playoffs could actually miss it, however they are still within range to make it to playoffs and if not maybe the play-ins at least. Aside from that Suns, Blazers, Spurs all won as well, it is getting really silly that Suns are going 7-0 right now, I was waiting for some wins but they are literally unbeaten in the bubble, plus Blazers have been playing awesome as well, they are literally bringing Melo back to his good old days too, dude scored 26 points in a win, thats some good old Melo right there. I am not sure who will end up in the playoffs but after all of this work and hussle if the team that plays Lakers gets swept by them and just goes home without winning a single game, it would be very sad thing.
Still flawless, suns won again.. the streak is still alive as they continue to climbed, they beat the Sixers at a score of 130-117.
Booker led the team again with 35 points, this is insane, they'll make history in the bubble as this only happened once.
Tied with the Blazers now, https://www.espn.com/nba/standings
if Blazers will lose, they might have better chance than the Blazers.
I seriously thought this was the day the suns would finally go down. Had them on a parlay with the under and the celtics to win at 2.75x so would of been nice even with the suns to win with 4.56x odds combined but ah well.

Just don't... don't back against the Suns as they are freaking hot.
But unfortunately, it looks like their effort will be wasted as the Blazers keeps wining also, Lillard is taking this team and he is playing in a different level.
I'm not sure right now, but I think I'll bet on them if they will face the Lakers, I'm looking for a big upset.

That way there might be a chance the Grizzlies will clinched that spot for the 8th seed if ONLY they can win the game with Bucks without Giannis. --> https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/bucks-giannis-antetokounmpo-ejected-after-headbutt-against-wizards-moe-wagner/
Suns > Mavericks - Suns win with them but that was a tough one last 3rd of August
Spurs > Jazz - There still hope for Spurs but if someone wins from top I think they wouldn't get it, simply by percentage.
Blazers > Nets - Blazers are on a 2nd win streak but Nets was on its 3rd win streak. Talking about fire.
Friday is surely an exciting one to watch.

The Suns are always like that they go down early in the first quarter. I was able to get their handicap down to -3.5 when they're down by 9. I knew they'll come back hard next quarter since the Sixers have a lot of injured players plus Embiid wasn't playing.
They might go down on their next/last match though as they play against the Mavs once again.
