Does Dame get it?

34.1 pts, 8.4 asts, 5.1 rebs on 49% from the field, and 45% from three. Hit 4.9 threes per game.

Unfortunately, we were 8-7.

Not sure who else in the west is in contention.
 
Tough to imagine anyone else putting up those numbers with that efficiency. Maybe Harden over the month but Dame beat him twice.
 
Harden was bad in January. Westbrick was pretty good though. I think it's gonna be Dame

Harden's numbers aren't close to Lillards when you look at shooting percentage as Harden is shooting 35% from the field and only 27% from 3 during the month of January.

Kawhi Leonard, maybe? 32/8/5 on 50/38/89 (plus his usual outstanding defense) on just 33.5 mpg, while going 8-2 in the 10 games he played. However none were as remarkable as any in the phenomenal 5-game stretch Dame has just had. I think recency bias wins it for Dame over Kawhi's boring consistency.
 
It's not going to take long (or many more games on national TV like last night) before Dame starts getting some real MVP love. I mean, sure, he was 4th 2 years ago and 6th last year, but he was also +2800 to win this year in the pre-season. Giannis is a front-runner, sure, on a team where he's The Man (TM) and they're like mostly undefeated, and Doncic is playing great and is a great storybut Dame putting up 50-burgers or close every night on national TV against playoff teams is getting him some pub. Jackson and JVG were gushing over him last night. The TNT dudes do it all the time. He's finally getting some of the numbers to go with his leadership, and he has a situation where no one doubts he's putting the team on his back and carrying them until their 3 injured starters come back.

He's probably still going to lose to Giannis, but I don't think Kawhi, LBJ or Harden has a much better case than Dame right now, and Kawhi and Luca are slightly injured. Obviously, more to follow, but it's getting to be "how long can this *really* go on?!" time.
 
Gotta be Dame, he’s on a tear right now that is like 06-07 Kobe level
 
Lakers were 10-4, and Lebron put up 25-8-10
We were 8-7, and Dame put up 34-8-5
 
Can someone explain to me how a player who wins PoTW twice in a month doesnt' win PoTM award?

if you count assists as 2 points each it’s pretty close, and the lakers DID have a better record....it’s not completely unfathomable
 
Somehow this is the Big Orange's fault.
 
Lebron James..... what a joke. NBA is so rigged I just can’t right now
 
It could be a sentimental vote similar to giving Carmelo his POW award.
Lebron's speech alone may have been enough.

That sad thing is that game in LA last Friday was apparently the most watched regular season NBA game in the last 20 yrs since Yao faced up vs Shaq. And Dame was by far the best player on the floor that included Davis and Lebron.

Just a damn shame.
 
Technically, Dame's second POW was for the week ending Feb. 2nd, so it probably would be included in consideration of this month's POM award.

Um, each of them averaged 8 assists a game.

Nevermind, didnt' realize the order wasn't the same.
 
This is literally the next tweet after their announcement of PotM in which they get bombarded about Dame not getting it.



Dame is actually averaging 49 points per game over the past 6, but OK.
