Dunno.

Feels like it is with sub 20 games left.

Every single major publication has it Joker.

The poll of 100 actual voters has it the same.
Yea there’s no momentum for SGA at all. Tatum had more momentum

Thought I heard the other day the Nuggets are a league best 11-1 since the ASB. Joker's been playing outta his mind. MPJ has been putting up some good numbers too lately.

When they recently played the Celtics it was tough to watch Joker do whatever he wanted. Boston had nobody to neutralize him.

I think it's time for Pop to hang it up.

Reports are Spurs players are purposefully trying to prevent Wembanyama from being involved in the offense and Pop just sitting there not even trying to run the team anymore.

I'll let some of the guys who are more tuned in to the NBA than me chime in if they have seen this or if this is just some click-baiting nonsense.

That sounds really weird. Looking at the Spurs team stats Wemby leads them in pts, rebs, stls, blks, offensive rebs, shots made & attempted. How are purposefully leaving him outta the offense?

yeah you would see a video here and there of a player missing an open wemby on a play but i wouldn't say they are intentionally leaving him out of the offense because they missed him on a fast break once every 15 games lol

He leads the team in fg attempts even though he avg 29 MPG

Lamelo Ball played 36 games last season and 22 this year.

Charlotte should look into moving him by next summer if this happens again next season

Okay what you said makes a lot more sense than what that fella said. I've watched about a dozen Spurs games this season to see Wemby. And I didn't see anything like what was suggested.

More likely a bunch of guys playing for their next contracts (or to even stay in the league) trying to get their own spotlight

plus the spurs are totally ok losing this year and getting another high pick

Wemby has plenty of time to develop

thunder you are one of the OGs here, and a very astute basketball fan and close follower of the NBA. I get repping your team but why do you have takes like this that are obviously not correct? You aren't some idiot casual OKC homer, you know damn well it's gonna be Joker again. What gives?

Yep. Seen interviews with Pop and a 30 minute documentary about Wemby on NBA TV. This year is purely about developing him and it's going very well. Pop probably would have retired if he didn't have this guy to coach up, he is excited to be the coach that helps him reach his ceiling. It's the perfect spot for Wemby.

Although the thunder will get more data to their decision in April and may

To be fair to him the media can change awards in a blink of eye. Stephen A talking up Tatum completely changed his odds before his stinker in Denver. I think if SGA played in a different market then the talk about him being mvp is much different. Had okc been the Knicks then he is front runner

I seen multiple awards switch hands late in the season due to the media

All fair but he's in the market he's in, everyone including thunder knows it's going to be Jokic again. SGA has potential to win one for sure but it won't be now.

A better take from thunder would be 'yeah I know it's probably gonna be Jokic but weird things can happen so maybe a small chance'.
