    Ja would be a great fit in LA in a few seasons(if it weren’t for his extra curricular nonsense).

    He's got to be #1 in the MVP rankings right now. I guess only Jokic is his competition right now

    Keeping BeastMode Engaged!
    He’s doing it all this season.
    Need a trade by deadline to maximize AD’s dominance this year.

    If you’re only taking offense into account, which I would say most do with the MVP, then Jokic is probably in the lead just barely. If you’re taking what he’s doing on BOTH sides of the ball into account, AD to me has to be in the lead, he’s doing it all for us. Jokic does it all on offense for his team, he runs that show, not taking anything away from him, he’s averaging a triple double right now, but AD has to play all out on both ends for us to be competitive. Both guys have to be at the top, nobody else is having better individual seasons from teams at the top of the standings. Giannis has been great, but his team hasn’t. Maybe Shai is on there too at 28ppg, but for me it’s those 2 right now, nearly identical team records at the moment as well.

    Seriously. AD is straight balling. Best two player on the planet right now.

    Davis at this point is THE hub of the offense as Redick wanted and still the lynchpin on defense. James seems to defer to him until he is needed. Good for the latter as it should save him from wear and tear as the season progresses. Still need THAT low post enforcer for him. Can never stress that enough.

    Davis is now taking treys when open...confident that he can bury them.

    MVP campaign continues its national tour.


    NO is painfully without size. Missi or bust. Props to Coach Green, had them busting their a** crashing the glass. Had this not been a back to back though, I think AD would've easily gotten 45 & 20

    AD is currently being heavily disrespected for MVP award 2353154E-BC0B-40A6-939F-B012AC0D5F1E.jpeg
