Yeah but the NBA is about entertainment after all.

It will add to the drama. Adds fuel to the fire.

Imagine Shai wining MVP, but Joker plays great first game and steals home court.

Game on!

Yeah I'm saying the cheesy 80s drama is less interesting, less entertaining to me than both of them thinking it might be them. The chip on the shoulder thing is way way way way way past played out.

That would be the case had the votes not already been in.. i.e., the 2 of the fighting to win over the votes.

But the votes are already counted (it’s a regular season award).

So what they do here won't matter..

Of course... other than setting up this "revenge" situation that I initially responded to.

Either way it's gonna be a good ride.

If Chet and JDub choke it, maybe. Jokic is going to need to be amazeballs in this series. Aaron Gordon is going to need to bully Chet, if possible. Murray is going to need to match 80%+ of Shai's shotmaking, which will be difficult given the level of OKC's defenders.

Your thought that "chip on shoulder" is 80s thing is just a statement about your age. It was not invented in the 80s nor is it less appealing to any younger generations who didnt grow up watching Rocky movies.

You may have gotten tired of it personally because Hollywood spammed you with that concept in that era, but will for revenge is such a basic human sentiment that its gonna exist in media narratives forever.

I've gotten tired of it from this message board specifically.

Ya OKC just doesn't have weakness. Great defense everywhere, great offense everywhere, depth, size, athleticism, length. Only thing they lack is experience I guess. They are loaded currently and have the best warchest of picks in the entire league.

They lack experience. If you shut off Williams you limit to them being very SGA dependent. And while they do have some good shooters, they arent shooter shooters (outside of Joe).

Ya in the post you quoted I said that they lack experience.
 
Mitchell really impacting the game even though his shot isn't falling. Now I'm starting to ask myself if Jeremiah Fears can do what Mitchell is currently doing--just drive the ball downhill and get the defense backpedalling. Truthfully, our guy Collier could be doing this, I think.
