Nah the Russ one is weird because that’s the same spot he was also launching them 3 feet over the rim and off the corner of the glass lol

A cool and in depth article from The Score when examining the stats of the NBA champs the last decade+

https://www.thescore.com/nba/news/2338119


Based on where most championship teams were ranked in various categories in their respective season, the Suns and Heat are the closest to that level. I mean, it's kind of obvious, they're the 1 seeds, but when you compare the summary at the end of that article, you see how much the Heat stand out vs the rest of the east.

In the west, I think it could easily be Suns,Warriors (with Steph) or Grizzlies. But the East, Miami seems far and away better.

I'm not expecting much from Miami in these playoffs (don't think I'm alone in that) so will be interesting to see how it unfolds

That pretty much locks up all the awards. Expect ROY. That looks close. The rest are locked because of the distance. I could be wrong.

I didn't even know that Ja was an MIP candidate. It just seems weird to me. You go from rookie of the year to MIP. That just seems like the wrong path.

If that is true, why are they releasing numbers right now if the votes aren’t even complete? Surprised they don’t have ol’ dude from CNN on TV with a map, counting up the votes from each member.

This league is weird, man.

Yea that MIP vote tally is suspect. It's not like Ja was trash last year. If he qualifies shouldn't Derozan?

My vote is Miles Bridges. Increased his ppg exponentially. From 12.7 to 20.2. Can't believe he's not top three.

It isn't 50% of the votes in outside of MVP, and even that is only 50% of 1st place votes with a lot of missing 2nd, 3rd, etc. votes.

Having said that, I do think it's like a 99% chance that Jokic, Smart, and Monty win their respective awards, and 100% that Herro wins his.

Ja seems poised to win MIP but it's only 23 1st place votes in right now and even less 2nd and 3rd place votes.

ROY seems to be really tight.
