there is no fandom. there are only results. Embiid got a knee injury playing with minutes restrictions and no back-to-back games. he has yet to prove he can survive an NBA season.. never mind a close 7 game playoff series.

some injuries are "brutal luck"; some are the result of habitually reckless play.

a lot of old memories will be flooding into the mind of Jose Calderon as he faces his former team tonight.

Those are useless results though. You say yourself that injury causes are speculative and individual. Results are only useful if they can be used to predict or improve your methods. The only thing that these injuries provide are post hoc rationalizations that someone was "accident (edit: Injury) prone".

Injury prevention is making strides, but, so far, even the broadest strokes are still fairly nebulous.

If Kawhi isn't seriously being considered for MVP after tonight's performance, something is messed up. He's the reason they're 4-0 out of the last four and not 0-4.

unless they throw themselves 5 rows into the stands to stop a ball from going out of bounds with a 25 point lead and 2 minutes left in the game.
injure themselves and don't report it to the club and avoid any diagnostics or treatment. and then whine when tehy need 1 month to recover and surgery.

some guys manage their injuries well. some guys dont.

I love him and his game, but I still have him behind a lot of players, it's simply the way Pop uses him plus some other things. His MVP status will always be below his real value

MVP's between Harden, Lebron and Kawhi imo. Kawhi really coming on strong with his recent performances.

I don't think that the NBA authorities are counting out Westbrook just yet.

I hope your definition of "a lot" includes 2 or 3

Nor should they. OKC's record in Russ's 30 triple doubles? 24-6. He's everything to that team on such a ridiculous level.

Harden, Russ, LeBron, Kawhi. Any of those 4 are deserving. I'm not sure who is vote for. Good thing we still have 15ish games.

the Spurs are now 7-1 against teams with 40+ wins. I remember teh first game of the season when Aldridge shot the lights out and teh Spurs ate Golden State for lunch. of course Durant was getting acclimated with the team but if Aldridge can shoot like he did in game 1 of this year...

Every week I try to highlight an interesting read or graphic or video that I find...

3/7/2017:--An image to show the dominance of Rudy Gobert, a deserving DPOY winner:

"No one in last 3 years has saved more points from within six feet than 2016-17 @rudygobert27. Oh, and he has 18 games to add to his total:"

Thomas is impressive for his size, but everyone knows his team would be 5+ games behind Harden's if they were in a race, and Harden is just a better version of him, and frankly all the traditional point guards going right now.

Ya I think it is definitely betweenamong the 4 of Kawhi, Lebron, Harden, and Westbrook.

For me, if Westbrook ends up averaging a triple-double at the end of the season on a +.500 playoff team, just give it to him.
If he doesn't, then I say give it to Harden.

They can all 4 be argued for though, it's a hard one.

Lebron won't get it, just because he's Lebron and the 3 other guys are as deserving. Now if Kawhi finishes strongly and get the Spurs the first seed, I think you could argue for him instead of the stat-stuffing guys.
I still think Harden is leading for now.

The triple doubles really are overblown, most of the boards are uncontested and defensive, as well as a result of his terrible contest rate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2j2oen/a_look_at_the_seeding_of_past_mvps/

WB's got the West's 7th seed so he's just not a contender for MVP. It's this stupid narrative they peddle every year but they'll always end up picking a top seed over a player carrying a lower seeded team.

It's really Kawhi vs Lebron. Harden as a third seed has precedent, but history really favors Kawhi/Lebron.

Deandre Jordan caught wearing a biometric device under a sweatband he normally does not wear.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18801090/deandre-jordan-plays-hidden-device

more and more guys are getting caught doing this. its going to get harder and harder to have rules against this. and once it is allowed who owns the data?
