Oh nvm. He's fizzled out anyways.
20 ppg, 6 apg, 6 rpg,
Elite defender, clutch, alpha leader, and overall one of the more valuable players in the game. Just look at his impact in his first year in Miami

Fizzled out, lmao

Going by the original schedule, the Heat had one of the easiest schedules remaining. They took out Det 2x, Chi 2x, Charlotte 2x, and NY 2x. Lmao wut??

Oh, but I didn't call them easy. I was talking about the original 82 game schedule, and the remaining 17 games which included those low tier teams I listed, hence a very favorable strength of schedule.

I know the NBA had a formula to determine this based on playoff standing, hence the 13 WC teams and 9 EC teams, eliminating those with no playoff hopes. And the schedule is then modified with the participating teams. But the way it shook out for a team like Miami, who faced one of the hardest schedules before postponement, to take on that gauntlet sucks. But it is what it is

Bubble season coming back, who we got for the chip?

Also season awards are going to be judged based on performance before the season was stopped. Who do you guys have winning the following categories:

  • Most Valuable Player
  • Defensive Player of the Year
  • Rookie of the Year
  • Most Improved Player
  • 6th Man
  • Coach of the Year

It's a tough call between Giannis and LeBron. I'd like LeBron to get it, but I think if we really consider who is more valuable to their team, it'd have to be Giannis. Bucks are trash without him. At least Lakers have AD.

DPOY: AD
ROY: Morant
MIP: Bam too lol
6th Man: Dennis Schroeder
COY: Nick Nurse, because a lot of people (myself included) thought the Raptors would suck once Kawhi left but he's kept them a championship contender.

Not sure why people thought raptors would suck without Kawhi, they've always been a good team. without Kawhi they were still first or second during the regular season. Kawhi missed around 20 games last season and played the rest on restricted minutes. It's just they couldn't handle playoffs pressure and Lebronto. The real test for them gonna be the playoffs, but lebron left the east.

Well before they also had DeRozan and obviously he's with the Spurs now.
I think actually not having that "superstar" player suits them better. Also Siakam's is just getting better at the right time.

Before the season got interrupted, I felt like Lebron was on Giannis' heels, it also seemed that way from the media. Who knows what would've happened in the last 17-19 games. But now, months after and no recency bias, it has to be Giannis. He lead the best team record wise, the top 2 way player in the game imo, dominant stats and advanced stats like PER close to all time records, and as you said most valuable to his team.

DPOY is gonna be interesting. AD basically transformed the Lakers defense, and Gobert is also a candidate.

Sixth man race as well. Schroeder is def a top choice too

Regarding COY: I hope Nate McMillan gets some love, he's done great for the Pacers especially without Oladipo for a good portion.

Oh, forgot about prediction about the chip
Clippers over Bucks in 6

This is assuming no players opt out of playing before July 30th, as their squad is missing some guys like Shamet and Zubac, who haven't reported yet. While Harrell and Beverley left to attend for personal matters. If complete, feel they got the best squad.
