The MVP discussions today are just about LeBron and Luca.

No, include Harden also as he is also having some good season.
Lebron does not produce more points like Harden and Luka, but he helps his team to be in the number 1 spot, but if I were to choose among the 3, I would choose Luka with no doubt at all with his current performance now, I know Luka could drop his stats in the long run, but who knows, maybe this kid is really destine for greatness, when Lebron was still young, he doesn't play as smart as Luka.

I think an MVP is not only determined by the total points they can achieve, but also the consistency of their game and how they influence the teams. the game is still long, anything can happen including injury. We don't know in the future who is got injured, maybe Luka? who's know lol

Indeed, it could be also Giannis or Kawhi once again. It's very hard to predict so far but as soon as the quarter finals started then that's the time where we can have a hint on who is gonna be the next MVP. Anyway, about the Luka's chance of becoming one, hmm not so impossible for me. There's no question about the skills because he got his own magic, the only thing which bothers me is that can he and his team reach the finals? I'm not being pessimistic but I think they can't. The Western Conference got very strong teams and it's not a joke to surpass them.

It's a long season indeed, anything can happen along the way. If Luka will continue playing like this without any injuries the chance is really high for him as he have that stats. It's not the scoring but the total performances, Lebron in the side also have this qualification even he's not getting that scoring but the total impact that he have for his team showed why they are in the top seed.

@Questat, bookmaker are already aware that he will not play or if he plays he will not be as competitive as he is, in short he will give less contribution to the team. The line is still -7.5 because there are still a lot of players who can step up for the Boston Celtics

I would like to enumerate as I believe these players can help the team to win as they are consistent.

Brown, Jaylen
Kanter, Enes
Smart, Marcus
Tatum, Jayson

Why the hell is Boston -7.5 against the Sacramento Kings while Kemba is injured?
Is he going to play this game?
Shouldn't be the handicap goes to them since they lose their offensive player.
I will go Sacramento for this. Against the Nuggets last time they are having a hard time to make a better offense because of lack of Kemba. Grin

I think if he ever played, he will have a limited minutes and he will not perform at his best.
if you think Boston are overvalued here, maybe its time to bet on the kings moneyline.

Here's the update about walker.

Quote

Walker did go through "a number of progressions" on the bike and in the weight room, and Stevens added that Walker probably could play through the pain, but they're going to be cautious given how scary the injury was

For sure, he would be at the all-star this season. Considering how well he played and how he carry his team to win games, that's why he has joined this season's mvp. If they can reach the playoffs then that would seal his season mvp trophy.

Undoubtedly, Luca is playing an MVP caliber type of basketball so far this season. Though, LeBron is tailing close on the ladder, but If Luca will consistently make his team win most of the games, he'll probably unbeatable at the top spot for the MVP award.
As much as I also want Luca to become the youngest MVP in the NBA, but I can't ignore the fact how LeBron are still showing great leadership, skills, and strength in his 17th season.
The MVP discussions today are just about LeBron and Luca.

The Luka Dončić noise is still here in the NBA as the mavericks continues their winning streak, and now beating one of the best games in the NBA which is the Rockets. It's a double double for him with 41 points and 10 assists, this is a match up of 2 potential MVP candidates and clearly here its Luka Dončić who won the battle.

also with this win, Mavericks climb to the number 3 spot in ranking in the west.

Cant believe Luka hitting all time streak here, Harden accept that they did wrong in their team defense sincr they are allowing easy basket points for the Mavericks, and that's how the Dallas gain confidence on executing play, Hardaway also added 31 points contribution for mavericks. Well Harden make good points also but not enough for Houston. That's a bad beating considering on their home court. Anyway Gratz, Luka, probably one of the candidate for MVP.

Not probably but he is the top one on the MVP race at this moment base on this website. https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/mvp.html

The top 5 at this moment are Davis, Harden, James, Greek Freak and the top 1 is Luca. He is playing very well this season and they beat this team who has 2 all star players and on their home. TBH, Luca is my pick for the MVP race at this moment because of how he plays in these past games. If they didn't picked him last All star weekend, this season 101% sure that he will be in the All star for sure.

For sure, he would be at the all-star this season. Considering how well he played and how he carry his team to win games, that's why he has joined this season's mvp. If they can reach the playoffs then that would seal his season mvp trophy.

I knew someone who can beat him for being the least defensive player. Yup! It's Lebron James Grin

. Am I the inly one who notice this or not. Look how he guard his opponents, he didn't contest them too much. I don't see him chasing players or do a face to face blocking attempts. I don't know if it's natural to him or just protecting his ego from getting baited by others' fancy moves? (For me, it was the latter part).

The kid cannot be a legend unless he change the way the NBA's play style. Like the way MJ and other NBA legend does. If Luka can make NBA greater than it was right now, he could be a legend for sure. Until he can't make history, he can't be a legend.

When did changing how the game is played became the sole prerequisite to be called a legendary? Is winning championship/s from hustling on both ends of the floor and leading the team not enough?

I absolutely agree. You don't need to be special first before to become a legendary because hardwork and dedication can lead you on that spot. Actually, he already did a lot for age 20 Shocked

. Despite of being young in the league he can already carry his team and beat veteran superstars, while me (or maybe you as well)? My lungs can't even stand straight running back to back in the court for 3 times. See the big difference? Chill bro, let the kid have his time making his own legacy.

For me, he is leading in the race now, Luka is a legendary in the making, he is just 20 years old and maybe when he become a legend he might still be at his 20s. Do you like that? how was that for Luka. 2 MVP from Rockets can't stop Luka Magic, this guy is a real deal , no doubt about that.

The kid is still young to be called a legend.
There are so much things that he needs to prove before he could be listed there.

We are just blown away at how this guy plays in the floor but let us not go overboard into predicting the future all of a sudden.
He is good, in fact he is great. But he is still in his early age.
An injury could even take this all away like how stars were taken down. I hope not.
Mental issues can also be a problem as it goes on.
For now, let us savor all the good plays he is making.

Race for MVP this year though, I am also voting for Luka.

An interesting rumor going around.

Shortening the season to 78 games won't change things much, players will still not play in back-to-back games. NBA can't cut it to 72 games either because they're going to miss massive revenue from TV deals and sponsorships.
The idea of a mid-season tournament is so bad that it doesn't deserve to be discussed at all.
I'm also not a fan of reseeding the teams after early rounds, they should rather eliminate divisions and conferences altogether and have the top 16 teams play in the playoffs.

Now he is also recorded on top players like Thompson and Curry to make a 13 shots beyond the arc. Out of 17, 13 shot beyond the arc was hit by Lavine. Now Bulls having a record of 6-11, you think they can still make it on the finals?

Finals? That is too much to ask. They have to go through powerful teams like Celtics, Bucks, Heat, Sixers, and Raptors. They would be really lucky if they make it to the playoffs.

Yeah, that is too much, this is just one monster game for him and I doubt that he can carry the Bulls even to the playoffs. Not hating on him but with so many teams in the West who is absolutely a beast, I doubt that he can replicate his game because teams are going to adjust their defence on him. It's just he had a hot hand, if would be perfect if he hits 50, just saying.

What a spectacular game for Lavigne! Made 49 points and made 13 three pointers out of 17. He made it to top 10-20 in three points made in the history of the NBA. Now he's proving everybody wrong not only with that performance but his performance this season. He definitely is not only into dunking. But, kudos to Arcidiacono for helping the triple team and getting the ball to the hot guy that night for pulling out the dagger.
