As of now.
Harden the most obvious one but everybody already knew he was going to be the man
Chandler Parsons is a MIP darkhorse
Patterson is finally becoming a player
and Asik was obvious too given he'll get more playing time
so I won't be surprised if the MIP goes to someone in H-town
Hard to decide eh? Melo has been very impressive leading NYK to #1 in the East despite still an incomplete roster. The only knock on him? They've been able to win a few big games even without Melo.
Durant on the other hand has been beasting in his individual stats and has almost LeBron-like numbers and his team is #1 in the West. However, he also has more help.
Melo has the Knicks #1 in the East despite BEING INFERIOR to the talent level of the Miami Heat.
Melo, though nowhere near LeBron's assist totals and is lagging behind the other stats as well, is still deserving of the award.
Melo though will probably not get it, unless the Thunder starts to have a colossal collapse.
I think Durant will win it because he's a media darling, and Melo has bad rep in the league. But I'd love it if Melo won the award. He needs it to gain some respect around the league and to CEMENT himself as a Top 3 player in the NBA.
I hope the MVP goes to either KD or Melo, its boring if LeBron wins it every year
LeBron's stats are still MVP-worthy, but Durant has also been beasting in his overall stats this year. He's learning to facilitate and has been solid on the boards like LeBron is. Also, unlike last year where LeBron's teammates played below par, he actually has more help this year with Wade slowly pulling it back together, Bosh with his best year in a Heat jersey and Ray Allen.
MIP: OJ Mayo
6th Man: Jamal Crawford
COY: Mike Woodson
DPOY: Tyson Chandler (landslide??)
ROY: Damian Lillard
Underrated snubs: TP, Varejao and David Lee
ROY: Liliard
MIP: Mayo
6th man: Crawford

DPOY: ????
What's with your 3 forwards for 1st team?
DPOY: Serge Ibaka
MIP: James Harden
ROY: Damian Lillard
Sixth Man: Jamal Crawford
COTY: Mark Jackson
Let me break it down:
Duncan:
per game: 2.6 blk (#5), 0.9 stl, 8.5 drb (#3), 1.8 pf (blk/pf #1)
per 36 min: 3.0 blk, 1.1 stl, 10.0 drb, 2.1 pf
advanced metrics: 94 Drtg (#2), 1.9 DWS (#3)
Chandler:
per game: 0.9 blk (Seriously, WTF?), 0.7 stl, 5.7 drb (What the bloody fuck?), 3.0 pf (This is getting ridiculous)
per 36 min: 1.0 blk, 0.8 stl, 6.5 drb, 3.5 pf
advanced metrics: 105 Drtg (a chair would do a better job), 0.9 DWS (bench player level)
Individually, it can't be more obvious.
Spurs
Opponent Pts/G: 97.8
Pace: 94.6
DRtg: 101.8 (#7)
eFg%: 0.472 (#5)
Knicks
Opponent Pts/G: 96.7
Pace: 91.1
DRtg: 105.8
eFg%: 0.506
Factoring in pace, it's pretty obvious team-wise as well.
Most of the people in this forum are seriously retarded. Although to be fair, it seems that most of NBA fandom (including, should I say especially, the media) are retarded.

Because all 3 deserve to be there. I'm not saying this will be the outcome by the end of the season but so far they are the 3 best players in the league and lead top teams in their conference.
I LOVE Tim Duncan and I think you make a valid point but you seriously need to chill. Name-calling is ridiculously immature.
