2017/18 NBA Regular Season

[bosoxlover12]

Unless yall are really impressed with this 15 game win streak against bottom bums

i literally posted about this two days ago, you know thats not my reasoning

but youre just looking at mitchells stats and only valuing scoring. simmons is an elite passer and already a great defender. and he is also 4th in FG% within 5ft of the rim, scoring at elite levels. he cant shoot 3s, but he doesnt need to with his passing skill and driving ability

don is really good, and would have been unanimous last season. but simmons has been all star level good on the court. simmonss defense is about as important to philly as mitchells offense

its not a disrespect to mitchell at all that simmons will won the award. anyone voting tatum/jackson over those 2 are being delusional. Mitchell will be the runner up, but Ben will win the award, as he should

 

[Paulius]

Dude im not even looking at stats whatsoever

Im literally just pointing out the fact that hes leading his team to the 3rd seed in the west, man

No one saw this coming

He doesnt have an Embiid to take the pressure off him offensively, he doesnt have a big like Embiid who gets doubled. HE gets doubled and all the attnetion is on him

All the attention isnt on Simmons

Simmons overall team is just better

I think Mitchell leading them to a 3rd seed in the west is an unreal accomplishment considering how big of a dog fight this has been

And yea saying tatum/jackson would be delusional, but you guys saying stuff like “its not even close” or “hes running away with it” is also a lil delusional

This is as close as it gets when it comes to ROY

 

[BNC]

Tell me, please tell me who expected a rookie to lead the jazz to the 3rd seed in the WEST

A lot of people thought jazz were gonna fall off and miss the playoffs and heres a rookie leading them to the third seed

Gobert lead them to the 3 seed. Also, the Sixers have 3 more wins

 

[Paulius]

Gobert lead them to the 3 seed. Also, the Sixers have 3 more wins

Defense doesnt lead in todays game anymore. Without Mitchell carryibg them offensively, they’d be a lotto team

And cool, 3 more wins in the freaking east playing against the east teams 3-4 times while playing the west teams 1-2 times. Please

Im not sure I have a take on who should win or not, but this is just an awful post.

1) Gobert may be the anchor of their defense, but Mitchell is clearly the leader of this team and their surge up the standings corresponding with Snyder giving him the keys to the car.
2) The 76ers play in the East.

Jazz are 11-15 without Gobert, and 37-18 with him. Sure Mitchell runs the offense but this team is winning because of defense. They have the #1 ranked defense and #16 ranked offense, so my take was quite accurate
 
That will account for 1 or 2 wins here, either way their records are pretty similar

 

[Paulius]

I mean yea Simmons will win it bc they trying to make him the next lebron or the next magic or whatever their plan is

But its cool, will only put a bigger chip on mitchells shoulder

He’s been doubted all along, and he’s here

Mitchell is someone who is able to carry a team and be that guy in the 4th quarter too. He will be that guy in the future, not simmons

Simmons needs great talent around him to reach his full potential. Relying on others

 

[BNC]

Yep, Simmons is only gonna win this because of some media narrative

 

[Mexi]

Do you realize that Jazz can get the 3rd seed tomorrow

3rd seed

In the west

Bro, 3rd seed in the west. Leading the jazz to the 3rd seed in the west.

I dont think youre grasping it

Also dont think youre grasping the fact that simmons had Embiid who takes all the pressure off him

Come on, its not even close. This win streak is also a joke. Bunch of trash teams

yeah and they can easily be the 8th seed too

Can't put that much stock in seeding this year 3-8

Also they didn't start winning til gobert came back

 

[Mexi]

Bro Simmons is averaging 16/8/8 on 54% shooting without a jump shot

He's not winning because of a narrative lmao

 

[Paulius]

Simmons needs great talent around him to be successful

Mitchell can take a team and carry them

Carrying freaking Ricky Rubio, Joe Ingles Jae Crowder

3rd seed in the WEST as a rookie leader

Case closed, im done with this topic

Simmons can win it, even tho hes not even a rookie and has the best center in the league on his team in the east

 

[buzzy]

who gives a crap. it's ROY

 

[Mexi]

Lol at talking like Rubio, crowder and especially Ingles are bums

stop acting like 3rd is any different from 8 this year

And the Sixers are 3rd too, after years of trash and without a top defense coming back like Utah has

Utah was really good last year with Hayward, brought back the exact same team almost with Donovan taking the role of Gordon. A great situation for him

Well Donovan Mitchell wasnt even a full time starter at the beginning of the year, so I dont think thats how they saw it. But admitting that Mitchell has filled the shoes of an all-star departure sounds like a pretty good argument FOR him, if you ask me.

 

[Mexi]

Do not get me wrong

I love Donovan. I was calling him a star in November. I introduced SI to him

It's just too bad he has Ben this year lol

 

[Mexi]

And like I said yesterday his hoodie said A rookie is an athlete "PLAYING" his/her first season

Pretty sure Ben didn't play last year. Donny giving himself the L

I hate when people do this. They talk about the perfect scenario. In this case, Ben isn't a rookie and Donovan wins

But you know what, that's not the case. Stop trying to change it. Take it up with the NBA

Actually TYO is the original Donovan fan. He was on the bandwagon when he was a bench player his freshman year at Louisville, I kid you not.

 

[Mexi]

Doesn't shock me
TYO is a legend

And i know hes got to have ben Simmons as ROY

 

[Mexi]

Knicks fucked up not taking Donovan
