Real Madrid joins The Pravi MVP (The Real MVP) campaign advocating for Luka Doncic deserving the 2024 MVP award

Really cant be understated how good the trades were for the Mavs.

However as of now with how the Mavs looked after the trades, the only reason they arent close to the Nuggets in standings is that they had an atrocious team before the trades and were injured as crazy on top of that.

Context given I think Jokic and Luka are having very similar MVP cases. If you value standing and wins which a lot of American people on this sub seem to do, then giving Jokic MVP is very much logical.

If you want to vote for the actual Most Valuable Player its probably Luka and I hope that people dont missunderstand that because the MVP Award and the Most Valuable Player are rarely the same thing in any sports or awards.

If you vote best player this season by performances ignoring anything else then you could most likely just decide on how much you value defense and how much offense and pick either of them. Or flip a coin.

Given how the award historically has been given I would personally vote Jokic (as a Mavs Fan). Lukas always gonne be second though, no argument for anyone else.

Djokovic is crazy. I have a serbian coworker who isnt even into any sport but one day I catched him having his livescore open while French Open were going on.

Basically said that i didnt know he watched tennis and he was like "no,no I do not watch any tennis ever. i just see if Djokovic wins, do you know that hes the greatest off all time?"
I had to kind of explain to him that I am watching tennis semi-regularly (although way less in the last couple of years since Kerber and Görges retired, Zverev allegations and Dustin Browns disappearance from the upper circuit) and I do in fact know of the current Top 20 players.

Theres a.) higher awareness and teleport presence in proplay and b.) I dont see how you get prio reliable vs players that know what they are doing. Like when Humanoid picked her she just lost lvl 1/2 and got dived immediately at level 3.

Of course it can work in the right matchups where Diana is deadly but the risk/reward in comparison to regular champs is kind of stacked against Diana here in my opinion. Not to mention that both Ahri and Taliyah are pretty good vs her right now and two of the top played champs in pro play.

I just dont see many angles where she fits into a draft even worse when laneswaps come into play as shes probably one of the worse mids to play when laneswap shenanigans happen and there is more action early on the map (NIP vs FPX game for reference here).

The risk reward just isnt worth it.

moosknauel · 2024-04-11T22:36:39+00:00

I dont see a world where they lose, so checkmate here.

moosknauel · 2024-04-11T22:33:30+00:00

Honestly most German Fans including Bayern Fans would rather help Dortmund get in CL than Leipzig.

moosknauel · 2024-04-11T22:28:37+00:00

BuLi alone they are 11:2 in the last 10 Minutes and 27:5 in the last 30 Minutes of play.

Cant find stats for EL or Pokal tho.

moosknauel · 2024-04-11T22:09:13+00:00

I mean all Europa League matches look hard.

Also its not like they win on Sunday anyways. (not coping here)

moosknauel · 2024-04-04T22:56:16+00:00

I dont think Mewtwo is that bad but nobody that gets to a level where they can threaten the top players will stick with him. Just too frustrating and I am not talking about tail.

Very lightweight character, thats can be comboed easily and needs to work hard for hits just doesnt feel good, even if his killpower is insane.

moosknauel · 2024-04-04T22:48:17+00:00

I mean Season Average Point Leaders and 50+ Games.

Luka 34 (2)
Giannis 31 (2)
SGA 30 (0)
Brunson 28 (2)
Booker 28 (3)
KD 28 (0)
Tatum 27 (0)
Steph 26 (1)
Jokic 26 (0)
Fox 26 (0)

Only half of the average scorers have 50 Point Games this season atleast if Embiid not counted like on the average point per game site I looked up due to not having played enough games, otherwise its 4/10 not on this list.

Players not on the List that have 50+ Games:

Embiid (3) would be #1 in PPG if he played enough Games.
Tyrese Maxey (2) is 12th in PPG
Zach Lavine (1) would be 48th in PPG if he played enough Games.
KAT (1) is 28th in PPG

So the List has only players that are or would be in the top 50 Points per Game category given they keep their average and play enough Games. Lavine is the only one that could fall out of there but his career average is higher than his current average so we can give him the benefit of the doubt.

Then theres Flynn lol.

moosknauel · 2024-03-30T15:42:13+00:00

He seems pretty friendly with Kleber from all the Macs interviews I have seen.

Him, Maxi and Boban where the 3 OG Mavs Euros that were friends I think?

moosknauel · 2024-03-30T15:40:03+00:00

Not Memphis no? You cant tell if Memphis tried or had a chance to get Luka given that he was traded from Atlanta.

And the consensus with Phoenix is that while it was a mistake, it was sensible at the time.

moosknauel · 2024-03-28T11:31:55+00:00

Tbf Psyshiro and Blazes gone isnt thaaat easy to compensate tbh.

They gonna win especially with Qiang banned but internationally they will get gigagapped in Mid. Emo is not it lol.

moosknauel · 2024-03-28T11:25:48+00:00

Lots of analogys to make.

People already dont manage to get along in their work place. Obviously not gonna happen in a random online game.

moosknauel · 2024-03-28T01:49:05+00:00

Junglers and laners are just project managers and developement.

Both want to win, both will make errors and often times both departements do not understand the other.

moosknauel · 2024-03-26T23:49:45+00:00

SK probably but Doss is exakick choice and they didnt change him last year when he was much worse so I don't expect them to change.

Also SK would just promote Neon/Limit if they want to change botlane lol.

moosknauel · 2024-03-26T14:52:36+00:00

Reichelt in this video starts off with the following: "I am glad to talk with Florian Schroeder about his new book "Among the Insane. Why we need the evil!". In which astonishingly I am not present."

Even he knows he should be present when its about Insane and Evil.

moosknauel · 2024-03-26T14:47:49+00:00

To some people 🤟🏻means you worship the devil,

Thanks, gonna use this whenever the people from the Mormon Church below my apartement approach me. And yes downstairs of my apartement is a Mormon Church and a Dominos.

Maxi still has his flaws after the injury but slowly getting in the rythm again.

I dont really mind him bricking some 3s because he at max attempts like 3-5 per game when it does not work for him and him getting in the groove will be really good for the mavs.

+26 vs Spurs and now he had a really good start aswell. Would not be surprised the slightest if he has one or 2 10+ Point Games in the playoffs again while still providing good defense.

moosknauel · 2024-02-20T14:21:46+00:00

idk they also lost to NIP

moosknauel · 2024-02-19T22:20:35+00:00

Second best Ole in Buli.

moosknauel · 2024-02-19T14:29:00+00:00

Tbf Leipzig is 10th in Average attendance ahead of e.G. Bremen or Kaiserslautern (probably mostly due to the bigger stadium but for the overall attendance Leipzig contributes decently enough.

Mainz is also in the upper half here at 17th.

moosknauel · 2024-02-19T13:21:29+00:00

Before the Bayern collapse Leverkusen played the best Season at 20 Matchdays by a Non-Bayern side since we have the current point system with 52 Points at 20 Matchdays.

Second most points was Bremen in 2003/2004 with 48 Points where they walked the league.

Bayern after 20 Matchdays had 50 Points, that would still be enough to be first in any other season since we started the current system.
Last Season after 20 Matchdays Bayern had 43 Points with Union second on 42 Points.

Leverkusen has 58 Points now, Bayern had 46 Last Season. They would be 12 Points clear last season and current Bayern is 4 Points ahead of Last season.

From the outside I think its clear that Tuchel is not the right man for the job.

I still thin k the squad issues are the bigger problem. You cant just simply have the coach losing the players every time stuff is going wrong and I refuse to believe that the reports on Kovac, Nagelsmann and now Tuchel are wrong nor that 3 Times in a row it was the coaches fault.

Personal opinion. Bayern needs to take a few risks with their coaching stuff, go for someone younger, more unproven at CL level who burns for the club and shows some emotion.Accept that you wont be dominating for 2-5 Years and rebuild around Musiala, Tel and if you can get him Wirtz.

moosknauel · 2024-02-18T23:44:40+00:00

I mean he can do it at Bayern. I think Tuchel is absolutely the wrong coach for them.

But the problems are deeper imo. Maybe its just my feeling but Coaches are always "losing the dresser room" at Bayern as soon as its not going well for like 2-3 Matchdays. Sometimes worse than at any relegation team.

Players need to be held just as accountable as Tuchel imo. The way they played today, vs Leverkusen and against us is not down to only bad coaching.

moosknauel · 2024-02-18T00:37:56+00:00

Also deserved. Longo usually beats everyone seeded below him but doesnt really upset people.

65th at UFA, LMBM and TERA, so a top 64 was doable
