    Harden forces the most adjustments for opposing coaches? They probably are referring to the amount of phony foul calls that causes their players to be in foul trouble.

    There are GM’s out there that think Kyrie Irving will make a good head coach on day. What’s he going do, sage cleanse
    them after they lose a game.

    1. MOST GMs are, relatively, morons
    2. The 18% split between Bron and AD indicates that 36% think a Laker is going to be the MVP. AD and Bron just take votes from each other. Poor Bron.
    3. Giannus winning it 3 times in a row is a clear indication that the award means squat
