He is pissed he got 16 votes out of 101 and Giannis got 85 to take the MVP trophy. And he added, not to say Giannis is undeserving. But it pissed him off. Some logic. Mr. I, Me, Myself at his best. Or, worst. I guess it's safe to say that in the whole annals of the NBA, there has never been such a egotist like him (proclaiming himself as the GOAT for bringing a 'packaged' title to Cleveland.

Harden got ZERO votes !!!!

I can't believe the odds favoring the Celtics for the 3rd straight game. What is going on there?

This is a pivotal game to the series. The Celts should win today otherwise Marcus Smart is going to take them out back and shoot them all

That's true, Steve. 3 turnovers in 4 min in the fourth. Careless passes. The lack of bench scorers is highlighted when they cannot hold on to a double digit lead. And Brad has to figure out the 2-3 small zone used by Spo. Heat has many weapons in scoring, around 8 deep. C's cannot make silly mistakes. They need to play all 48 minutes as Ainge didn't do anything at the trade deadline nor picked up and waived players. They have to live with that. If Hayward doesn't play tonight, he might as well fly home as he intended to.

Boston is a great team and well coached They aren't going anywhere just yet

BTW, I forgot to comment during last night's game how much of an impact Dwight Howard made for the Lakers. He hounded Jokic and Murray as well as making some great blocks on sure baskets.
Even J R Smith hit a long 3

As you hinted, JR can get a ring, and has when distinction of being paid by 2 teams. What a guy.

"Veteran swingman JR Smith signed his Los Angeles Lakers contract, Smith's agent Rich Paul told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Per Bobby Marks of ESPN, Smith will receive $289,803 on top of the nearly $1.5 million the Cleveland Cavaliers are paying him."

No wonder even Lonzo has moved to the Rich Paul camp. And he might even rejoin the Lakers by some more manipulations with the GMs.

Giannis has been in the league 7 years. It took Jordan 6 years before he won his first title. No hurry as Giannis is only 25. He shouldn't be impatient and bolt from a great team, imo.

But.....it is after all, all about the rings

Looking at the box scores, Jokic did not take a single 3 shot. And he made so many in the Clippers series.
