SGA

They're neck n neck. MVP is a 2-man race this season. Probably will be SGA because his team will have the top record -that may be unfair that's how it goes. SGA has the best GM in the league, Jokic has one of the worst.

SGA is the only challenger to Jokic in the MVP race, and SGA is a distant second.

I mentioned SGA in the pre-season Notes. I thought he was value to win MVP @ +400.

...But you're right. Jokic is amazing. I thought he would drop off, but he's so good.

**brock** · 02-03-25, 10:16 PM

SGA lots of points scored in games. Not so much rebounds and assists.

**2Sweeet** · 02-03-25, 11:14 PM

If you think it's close the only bet is SGA. DEI will tell u that plus they aren't giving it to Jokic again. Easy bet imo if SGA doesn't get hurt and u don't mind tying money up until June. Unload and take a nice Summer Vacation when they finally pay it out. SGA is the only play here.

Best player on the best team. SGA should be the favorite.

Mac is right, but if u bet Ant like most of you did early on u missed the train already. I got 2 nice futures on SGA at +350 and +300 he's -500 right now. Again if he doesn't get hurt this is a wrap. I should of kept my mouth shut cuz I just probably jinxed myself.

**2Sweeet** · 02-03-25, 11:31 PM

Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks: +350
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder: +400
Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets: +450
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks: +850
Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves: +1200
Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks: +1400
Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics: +1500
Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs: +1700
Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers: +2500
Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies: +3500
Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors: +5000
Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns: +7000
Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans: +8000
Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics: +10000
Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers: +10000
Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers: +10000

LOL LUKA was favored at the start? Did they think this was a hotdog eating contest?

**2Sweeet** · 02-03-25, 11:35 PM

Memphis to win the West is worth more than pizza money right now also. Remember I said it. Hopefully Ja doesn't start playing with guns again. This team will be a pain in the ass come playoff time.

Nice!!! He just has to stay healthy.

I’m sitting on Donovan Mitchell at +8000

I just can’t figure Memphis out. They seem inconsistent to me. Sometimes they play better without Ja. This team confuses me.

I mentioned that the other day, that if Ja behaves himself Memphis will be a tough out.
I was watching the Grizz last night, tons of talent there, Pippen is developing, Bane and Jackson are legit, Eddy out of Purdue is in the ROY mix, yes, a difficult team they can be.

Missed that post.. I did follow you on Rockets tonight and made some extra coin backing myself up. Totally agree with your above post. I bet a future on them 3 weeks ago to win the west. PPL forget how good this kid was b4 he went Boys in The Hood. This team is better than the old Memphis team was.

I don't hate that tix at all. It's a long season as we all know. Injuries happen.

**stevenash** · 02-25-25, 08:08 PM

**SomeDayinBuffalo** · 02-26-25, 12:04 PM

Let's see if he gets the calls in the playoffs. A lot less fouls called.

Dude- I saw him up close last year against the Warriors. Sat right on the floor next to one of the warriors owners. The guy is the real deal. The Clippers trade him for a guy they don’t have anymore.

100 percent legit real deal, agreed.

There are only a few teams/matchups and a few players in the NBA that'll make me stop what I'm doing and pay attention to.
I love watching SGA, every chance I get I'll tune into an OKC game (usually a 10:30 pm start EST)

To those who say SGA is a flopper, I disagree.
I don't even think SGA 'overexaggerates' calls (or lack of thereof)

Finch needs to pipe down, SGA gets the calls because he's slick and gets most defenders to over commit.
And if memory serves, seems to me that Fitch got a lot of favorable calls in that Denver playoff series.

Jordi Fernandez is legit... a legit SUPER-STAR coach in a league full of sycophants. Imagine if he had a team like the Blazers... they'd be in the play-in.

He's doing a nice job with a totally horseshit roster.

**SundanceKid** · 02-27-25, 08:08 AM

Cavs and Thunder both have had great seasons. However one of these teams will surely meet the same fate as the 2014 Atlanta Hawks. Crushed in the Conference Finals

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 02-27-25, 08:21 AM

You would be sitting pretty if you stocked up on his rookie cards years back....He was an afterthought in that rookie class for the most part.

**stevenash** · 02-27-25, 08:51 AM

SGA leads the league in scoring, is second in the league in free throws attempted, yet doesn't crack the top sixty in three-point attempts.

Three-point snipers don't go to the free throw line as often as they did say eight-ten years ago when the Splash Brothers were beating Cleveland in the finals on a regular basis.

**SomeDayinBuffalo** · 02-27-25, 01:45 PM

With the players now, they get their extra point at the three line and not the free throw line. That prob leads to less physical play that people want to see.

Nice come back last night from SGA and the boys.

**brock** · 03-28-25, 03:19 PM

Thinking about this tread and my SGA play at Harrah's Las Vegas last month about
the 11th or 12th.
Played SGA over 31.5 points. Had 30 or 31 points after three quarters and pulled
him out because of being ahead by a lot. All in all, had a good week.

**stevenash** · 03-28-25, 05:28 PM

I'm throwing in the Jokic for the MVP award, SGA has done more than enough to earn top honors.

**brock** · 03-28-25, 06:12 PM

Seems like SGA almost always never has a double double. few assists and rebounds.
