Have a feeling Lillard and Westbrook are going to battle for the MVP. Then again, neither might not win enough games to "qualify".
I'm going with Kawhi , obvious choice among the qualifiers unless Floppers get the 2nd seed/Lebron doesn't coast . Westbrook is going to average monster numbers but his shooting efficiency and TO rate will be "flawed" and as you said OKC won't win enough games
Wow, if you think about it, Russell's game is quite similar to Lillard's. Maybe a step slower, but they have the same approach on offense, great coming around screens, the ability to pull up, attack the basket, make the necessary pass. And they both rebound well for a guard. Both are clutch. I would be ecstatic if we Russ gets close to what Lillard does.
Have yourself a game Mr. Simmons! Granted its one game but his shooting stroke looks a lot more polished from last year where he was mainly a defender and slashing type offensive player. He saw McGee and then just dropped the Hammer. Watching it Live on TV, this dunk impressed the hell out of me.
He looks okay, but there's something telling about his frame that makes him seem injury prone. Just a bit of awkwardness with his legs like Bynum did with the instability when he lands. He seems to buckle every time he gets bumped off balance, and that's a bit worrisome.
