Then who did?

[RedSoxFan84]

wayy under. He didn't deserve the 1st one.

 

 

 

Really?

 

Even if you don't agree that Rose was the best player in the NBA last season, the fact is that he was still the MOST VALUABLE to his team of any player, and afterall, that is what the award is given for.

Dwight Howard deserved it way more than Rose did.

Nah.

[Flynnatic10]

Nah.

 

Yes.

[Emmz]

Nah son it ain't like dat.

[Flynnatic10]

Yea it does. Rose broke out and the media basically handed him the award midway through the season.

[yankees228]

Dwight Howard deserved it way more than Rose did.

 

I wouldn't say 'way more', but I do agree that Dwight was more deserving than Rose was. The Bulls were a team based primarily on defense, and Rose was the worst defender out of the entire starting five. Howard is the best defensive player in the NBA, and with a relatively weak supporting cast he managed to place fourth in the Eastern Conference. Hollinger's PER ratings agreed with this idea, for what that's worth. Just my two cents.

[Flynnatic10]

Oh, and if you took Rose away from the Bulls they would still be a playoff team. If you took away Howard the Magic would have challenged Cleveland for the #1 pick.

[Jasonbay44]

If the T-Wolves make the playoffs (they are only 1 game out), Kevin Love deserves MVP. The numbers he puts up, with how efficient he is, is insane.

um what no

Rose away from the Bulls, Bulls are still in the playoffs? No, case and point: few weeks ago Bulls @ Celtics, Rose is hurt. Celtics win by 7.

Really? I don't see a game where the Celtics win by 7.

 

2/12 @ Boston: Chicago loses by 4

then 2/16 at home: Chicago wins by 9

 

I don't see how Rose makes there team so bad when he is not playing. Most of the games he missed were against s***** teams so it didn't matter.

[Flynnatic10]

D'Antoni quit!!! YES!!!

[SoxSport]

ESPN is really PO'd that Howard didn't come to NY.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

D'Antoni quit!!! YES!!!

 

Funny cause they put a clinic on Portland the first game without him.

Basically Dwight asked management to fire Stan Van Gundy, and it got back to Stan... so he told reporters about it. And then midway through his interview Dwight comes up and hugs him.

 

That franchise a f***ing joke. Hopefully SVG lands a job with a cellar dweller and helps them get decent (which he will), while the Magic go down the toilet.

[onlybereaved]

Demar Derozan is a future MVP and has the best attitude/work ethic in all of the NBA lol.

Dammit, I had a lot of respect for Dwight. Still has a career as an impersonator though.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

lol heat

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Derrick Rose tears ACL, obviously out for the playoffs and I would guess a good chunk of next season. WOW.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Heat just cleared a path to the finals.

[Flynnatic10]

Too bad LeBron is gonna lose again. This time to the Thunder.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I can see the Thunder being upset just like last year because the West actually has teams capable of beating them in a 7 game series. The east just sucks.

[ellsburyforMVP]

Heat just cleared a path to the finals.

 

That's actually better news for celtics and pretty sure the heat are atleast a little uneasy... Boston had major matchup troubles with Chicago, and with rose I don't think the celts can beat them..... But Miami can beat Chicago....... Don't give me this the heat are "locked" in stuff either, we all know the heat have major problems matching up with the celtics, because they don't have the bigs that can guard Garnett and bass... Either inside or out up to 17 feet , where both can consistently knock down jumpers....Boston proved during the season that they can beat Miami at home and on the road..... In a close gm and in a blowout....so when you say a path was cleared.... It only makes sense that rose going down benefits the celtics ALOT more than miami

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lol that washed up as big 3 the Celtics have. You're not going anywhere this year. The only team that had a legit chance at beating the Heat was the Bulls. They'll make the Finals. The question is whether or not they can beat the West.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The Celtics own the Heat in the regular season, that's nothing new. You missed the playoffs last year? Celtics had no chance and LeBron is looking more dominant then he did last year in the playoffs.
