Mvp odds update - update

Ahh finally a new MVP thread.

Been waiting for it all day.

 

Yeah, but what is the Over-Under of moar MVP threads in the GARM?

 

So Westbrook is now the odds on favorite? That sounds about right. Harden severely hurt his case these last 3 games. Westbrook was close to losing games to the Mavericks and Magic but instead ended up with a monster triple double in both games while beasting in the clutch.

 

Yup. It's a wrap. Probably always was, honestly.

 

Not enough MVP threads, need MOAR of these, even MOAR

But seriously OP, do you get off starting a thread? You could have posted this in any one of the other gazillion MVP threads already existing

 

and people complain about MY thread starting privileges . . .

a nice opportunity for me to re-use this DMo thread meme. Not many opportunities to use this one anymore.

 

here OP, I made you something. You can thank me later.

 

Had anyone else in the last 52 years averaged a triple double, then this would be James' award. It's the novelty of "first time in more than 50 years" that will get Westbrook the trophy.

As a side note, Oscar came really freakin' close to average a triple double each of his first FIVE YEARS in the league. That's amazing, and his team probably didn't hand him 3 or 4 rebounds a game, either.

 

Where are you getting these odds from?

 

btw: What odds did Vegas give Hillary two weeks before voting.

 

lol. we all know how well THAT worked out

 

you know Harden?

 

The year that Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double, he averaged 30.8 points a game, 12.5 rebounds a game and 11.4 assists. That is pretty ridiculous. But he was only in 3rd in MVP voting.

That same year, Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points a game, 25.7 rebounds a game and 48.5 minutes per game. Those numbers are all absolutely insane.

But Wilt was only in second. Bill Russell won the MVP that year.

I'm not sure why averaging a triple double automatically makes Westbrook the favorite for the MVP this year.

 

If Harden doesn't win an MVP in Houston he will go to LA and get one there. Harden wants the media to like him and that won't be here.

 

Morey better get a star or 2 to put around Harden. If Paul George actually does end up in LA, then that would already be better than what Harden has in Houston and would have players flocking to go and play for the Lakers. Winning in LA would do a lot for his brand as well. Morey has some work to do.

 

Since when is winning MVP more important than winning a Championship..

 

Sorry, chaps, I only bet on the PLAYERS MVP award winner - a far more civilized pursuit.

It's baccarat compared to the slot machine of betting on regular MVP

Let me know when you start a thread on that....till then, yawn.
