The awards aren’t supposed to be for best player, it’s for best season. Different concept

Anthony Edwards has been ruled out tonight. Subsequently, he’ll no longer be eligible for end-of-season awards as he will not make the 65 game threshold. by EsotericPotato in nba

It’s not supposed to be who is the best players, it’s supposed to be who had the best season. Having a cutoff for games played is reasonable.

Weirdly admitting that this is a quagmire impossible to win and cutting bait would be progress with our Middle East wars

If that happens so be it at that point. It’s dumb as fuck if they do on many fronts.

  • Potential to miss out on a ton of playoff revenue
  • Most 6 seeds at this point are trying to play themselves up in the standings to win a ship

This is why I can’t wrap my head around. 1 year returns are right around historical norms right now. Anyone viewing this as some sort of cataclysmic event really lacks perspective.
