Placed my first bet, James Harden for MVP @ $16.

Can't find ROY markets, Buddy Hield would be my smoky bet.

Buddy Hield is the favourite :P

so not really a smokie.

I quite like this. MVP is a tough one this year with two of the top 5 players on the one team, and LeBron to presumably care even less about the regular season than ever before. Harden is going to have the ball in his hands a lot, and in the D'Antoni system that offense is set to be elite. Could also see Houston winning enough games to push up into say the #4 seed.

My roughy is that this will finally be the year for CP3.

to be fair there has always been two of the top 5 players in one team.

Im taking Curry and Durrant out of the equation as first up I cant see them giving Curry 3 straight MVPs, especially considering they will probably regress from the 73 win season and now they can say he has Durrant on the squad.

Same reason for Durrant.

I think the Spurs will be very very good and the best player on that team is easily leonard. The question for him is despite being a superstar he doesnt really act like one so he has to get noticed. He wont talk trash or go out and drop 50 to show you he is the best.

Lebron doesnt care about the MVP and I think Irving will be the argubaly the best Cav in the home and awa as lebron drops his minutes. Plus this isnt the best player or award or lebron would have 10 straight.

Harden meh, dont rate the rockets and people all question his defense.

Westbrook has something to prove, explodes statisitcally, talks trash can drop 50 and he just lost durrant. If OKC can put up a decent number of wins and finish top 4 in the west then he kind of has to win it.

So in summary Leonard v Westbrook for me with their main competition Anthony Davis and Paul Georgre.
Good point with Leonard, I agree with you. I think it's likely that he is deserving of the MVP but doesn't get enough votes because defense still isn't recognised like it should be and might not have the raw scoring numbers of some of the other stars.

I presumed Embiid would be a short-priced favourite! Not high on Hield or Ingram this season.

If you didn't see my post in the NBL thread, Sydney Kings are in talks with Nate Robinson coming to play a season in Oz!

when the final leg of your 9/1 multi is up 15 at the half and pull all their starters and lose by 20...



Did you bet on the Kings against Lakers in todays pre-season game.

You could have asked me before the game.  The plan was always to play the 2nd team for a fair portion of the game.

Exum hyper-extended his knee in today's game.  He sat the 2nd half.  Haven't heard anything further

Get on Dario 'The Homie' Saric. Embiid and Jah will be on minute restrictions early and no Simmons for three months means that Saric is the starting power forward in that team and should play big minutes. He is going to stuff the stat sheet and shoots the ball well from 3.
