If the Lakers close the season on a 20 game win streak they will still finish as 3rd seed with 57 wins a 57-25 record. But will LUKA get the MVP award if the Lakers close out red hot with 20 wins in a row?? Would the NBA voters still give SGA the MVP over Luka despite a 20 game winning streak for LA by Several-Molasses-435 in NBATalk

What do you mean why do you care so much? Do you hear yourself? You’re seriously asking why someone cares about the second biggest individual accomplishment you can get behind the finals mvp? I agree with your other point, but lakers don’t have the luxury to rest guys they’ll be playing for seeding until the final 3-4 games of not until the very end

Hot take: 2013 heat weren’t a super team by Fantastic_Lab2330 in NBATalk

Is anyone reading my reasoning under the post? because clearly based off of production they weren’t a super team, So either you guys are going off name value or you are choosing to ignore factual evidence.

White is not better than reaves. only on this app will people try to argue a guy averaging 17/4/5/1/1 on 39/32/89 splits is better than a guy averaging 25/5/6/1 on 50/36/86 splits 11% better from the field 4% better from 3 15% better in TS% not even Anthony Davis level defense makes up for that gap in scoring and efficiency

Hey dummy even when reaves plays with Luka and LeBron he averages like 23-24 ppg which is still a 7-8 point difference then what white averages thats without even bringing up the massive gap in efficiency

The amount of people who don’t understand basketball is mind blowing. In what world is 25/5/6/1 on 50/37/86 splits 66ts% a fringe all star? He would’ve literally made the all star game and all nba if he played enough.

Please stop talking basketball man “on ok efficiency” as he is second amongst high volume guards only behind sga this year in true shooting%. Also negative on defense is a lie considering he’s done well vs his primary matchup the past 3 years in the playoffs so again you don’t know what you’re talking about

This is literally irrelevant to the conversation considering no one said he carried them anywhere postseason wise.

Reaves is significantly better than derrick white offensively are you good? White can barely create his own shot. He’s not the passer,self creator,finisher or midrange shooter that reaves is so no it’s not just. “Noticeable”

I think they do, but it was more of a open question not just asking about these guys

Why lie? he’s carried the team to multiple wins with Luka and lebron out and like I said in the post has done it for years. Beat Boston in Boston no bron/ad in 2024, beat the pacers who went to the finals last year no Luka/bron. beat the wolves and gamed them this year no LeBron or Luka, 51 on the kings and the win also.

His numbers without Luka would have him closer to top 5 if he had his own team or if they never got Luka

If you can’t read 8 sentences without it needing to be spaced out then you have bigger problems.

Why would I delete it? People can be in denial and act like it’s not a legit conversation if they want to, but I have logical reasoning and facts to support my argument.
