He was arguably doing something very close to what Nash did for his second MVP season (funny enough, with Amare as an injured teammate too). Except that he had a huge number of turnovers in all those games. He certainly wasnt at MVP level, but yea he had a good run. | ||

The numbers, the circumstances ( injuries + his possibility of not even playing ) and the way that he caused teams to prepare for HIM as the focal point instead of treating him as a glorified role player says a lot. I think he's got a good chance of winning it solely based on numbers and massive popularity. A lot of people have Ryan Andersen as their leading candidate. For me, the MIP is Greg Munroe, his game is scary good. I think he could be an all-star one day not too far from now. | ||

I feel like 10 is harsh because looking at past 10 game suspensions they've been for much worse shit like drug use, weapons charges, or brawling, and those are much worse than an intentional elbow. | ||

Compare that to Carmelo's sucker punch. He should have been suspended a game just for running away like a little bitch afterwards. | ||

The league is absurd and has no rules. Bynum- 5 games for decking a guy in the midst of a play. Love - 2 games for stomping a face nowhere near the play. | ||

There's no "elbow to face = 15 game suspension without pay" rule or anything, so 7 games seems about right since he'll miss a few games in the playoffs. Would be funny if the Lakers decide to tank some games in r1 after going 3-0 just to have MWP ready for r2. I doubt the Lakers are capable of sweeping the Mavs. And I'm a Laker fan saying this. | ||

You never know with the Stern roulette. | ||

I don't know what 'being near the play' has to do with it. I guess NBA players are pitbulls and can't control themselves when they're playing. And he didn't 'stomp' on his face. He stepped on his chest and hit his face with the top part of his shoe. | ||

Bynum committed a foul while preventing a basket, while clearly illegal, his play had some intrinsic value to the Lakers other than attempting to injure Barea. He might not even have been ejected from a 1980s NBA game. If you tackle a QB in football when he has the ball its a sack, after he throws its, a penalty. What Love did is an ejection/suspension in the NFL, same with what MWP did. | ||

Edit: The only time this might even matter is if the Magic can somehow lose to the Bobcats today, which looks like it won't happen. | ||
