Post any others you come across. I'm sure I'm missing some.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nice job!

 

[Orion Bailey]

What gets me is Stephen Curry. MIP? Did he really improve that much from last year? More than guys like CJ?

Thats pretty debatable I would think. Without looking at numbers, His ups are know where near some others Id think.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Haberstroh (who?) has Ricky Rubio on his 1st team all defense? HUH?

Great post B-Roy!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I get to punch one of you in the dick if McCollum doesn't get mip.

 

[theprunetang]

I get to punch one of you in the dick if McCollum doesn't get mip.

I'll take it. But, you have to purchase your own ticket to Florida.

 

[B-Roy]

I get to punch one of you in the dick if McCollum doesn't get mip.

Some of the ballots are freakin weird:

Zillz G. Antetokounmpo B. Biyombo H. Whiteside

The fuck? BIYOMBO? This is MOST improved right?

 

[chzbrgr]

"experts"

 

[noknobs]

Some of the ballots are freakin weird:

Zillz G. Antetokounmpo B. Biyombo H. Whiteside

The fuck? BIYOMBO? This is MOST improved right?

Fun fact. Those three players COMBINED improved by 7.3 ppg, 2 apg, and 4.4 rpg.

CJ improved by 14.1 ppg, 3.3 apg, and 1.7 rpg.


What. the. fuck.

 

[ripcityboy]

CJ getting the MIP should be like Christoph Waltz winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor..... it's not a even a contest.

I agree. Curry is pretty damn good (MVP), but to consider him for most improved, I don't get.

Two way to look at MIP: raw improvement, and minutes adjusted. For example, if a player gets twice as many minutes, and twice as many points, is that really 'improvement'? Yes. Because it's difficult to continue that production at a high level of minutes. But I think both raw and adjusted need to be considered when looking at the full picture.

Here's a look at CJ's Improvement:
PPG: 307.4% (raw), 138% (adjusted for minutes)
APG: 430.0% (raw), 194.0% (adj)
SPG: 171.4% (raw), 77.3% (adj)
FG%: 102.8%
3Pt%: 106.3%
PER: 135.1%

Here's a look at Curry's Improvement:
PPG: 125.6% (raw), 120.1% (adjusted for minutes)
APG: 87.0% (raw), 83.2% (adj)
SPG: 105.0% (raw), 100.4% (adj)
FG%: 103.1%
3Pt%: 102.0%
PER: 111.4%

I don't think it's close. CJ is no doubt the most improved between these two.

 

[Natebishop3]

If we're going to give Steph the MIP, we might as well just give him ROY, DPOY, and CoTY as well.

 

[Orion Bailey]

If we're going to give Steph the MIP, we might as well just give him ROY, DPOY, and CoTY as well.

Yeah, and label him Mr. NBA and just get rid of all other teams and the rest of GS roster...
Can these "Professionals" suck up anymore?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Phooey.

I would trade all those awards for making it to the 2nd round of the play-offs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Curry went from 23 ppg last year to 30 ppg this year.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Curry went from 23 ppg last year to 30 ppg this year.

Yep. A 126% increase in scoring for Curry.
CJ went from 6.8 to 20.9 ppg. A 307% increase.
Curry is good. MVP. Not MIP.

[Orion Bailey]

Kyle Lowry over Dame as second team?


I call BS...

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Kyle Lowry over Dame as second team?


I call BS...

Their stats are comparable, Lowry's a better defender, and Toronto won way more games. It's not an unreasonable position.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Their stats are comparable, and Toronto won way more games. It's not an unreasonable position.

Shit. I was thinking of Kyrie Irving... not Lowry. You are right.

 

[Tunchi]

Their stats are comparable, Lowry's a better defender, and Toronto won way more games. It's not an unreasonable position.

Better defender and better record exactly
