Brunson with 48 points tonight! But it's ok, we'll be fine replacing a player like that with more Luka and Dinwiddie usage

What's the old saying, "You don't miss a good thing until it's gone"

I always would be perfect next to Luka, but I think the only reason Houston would have a shot is if he wants his own team.

I think Brown is the ideal 2 guard next to Luka, but I don't think he's  interested in playing 2nd fiddle behind him after doing that his entire career in Boston.

That 52 pt, 14 rebs, 3 blk game last night sealed it for me.

I still think Jokic has been better for longer. 1 bad game shouldn't define this race. Especially since Embiid sat out vs. Jokic not just a week and a bit ago.

Jokic has two games shooting less than 50% FG. Embiid is a FT merchant. End of story.

There is a solid case for all 3, but you can only pick 1.

Embiid has the advantage of NOT being a former MVP. Jokic has the double whammy of two MVP's in a row, and the possibility of 3 in a row (which is rare air, a tier voters don't want to give unless you are in the conversation for GOAT).

If the race is close (and it is), I expect Embiid will get the nod for this reason.

The Jalen Brunson of the G league.  just kidding.

Nice job Mavs???

It's funny nobody mentions Giannis anymore and he's had just as good of a season as the other two, as well as being on the team with the best record in the NBA.

He's have my vote if I had one.

Jokic leads the league in PER, WS, BPM, VORP and TS%.
Jokic leads the league in raw +/-. 20+ on/off is something that only former MVPs like Duncan, LBJ, Garnett, Curry or Dirk can match.
Embiid leads the league in ESPN´s RPM. Jokic leads in RAPTOR.

That's actually wild. I didn't realize he's been THAT efficient.

18-2 run by Giannis/Middleton-less Bucks to turn around a double digit deficit. Ugh.

Jalen didn’t play for the Knicks today but there last three first round picks put up 32, 36 and 39.

And they guy they traded at the deadline puts up 6 points, 7 assists and 12 rebounds.  

Not bad.

And they did it without Randle too. On the contrary, they were playing a banged-up Pacers team. But the Knicks look legit. Can't wait to see that 4-5 matchup between them and Cleveland.

Kamm you were right about the Knicks in December.  I couldn't see it.

Any chance the Mavs pay some attention to the tank season performances?

Paul Reed with a rare start for Philly outplaying Capela, 8/7 with two steals in 16 minutes. Goga Bitadze with the 12/15 in 25 minutes. You simply have to try young this summer and hope for significant development, but I´m sure they already have set their sights on Gorgui Dieng.
