Just like everyone else in New England, I wanted Pierce out of Boston after last years antics after the game 7 loss to Indiana. However, this year, he is shooting a high percentage, is the best rebounding guard in the league, teaching the younger players to be professionals, and getting a ton of assists. Not to mention he has no problem shutting down the other teams top wing player. He held Tmac to 14 tonight, and when he plays HU against the likes of kobe, mcgrady, lebron, etc. he consistently outperforms them.
You heard it here first, Paul Pierce is a professional who is going to take these "rebuilding" Celtics to the top of the Atlantic Division with 47 wins. And oh yea, pick up the league's most valuable player award.

He may or may not win it, but Tim Duncan is the MVP every year. The NBA MVP is a joke.

Actually, NBA MVP has the best representation for best player in the three major sports IMO. Just discount the Malone over Jordan jopke.

Compared to baseball. Miguel Tejada. Billy Beane even said he wasn't the most valuable on the team that year. And I think hes a decent talent evaluator.

At least baseball is smart enough to keep awarding it to Bonds every year. Even so, he still got robbed of 2 MVP's.

Yes I did and yes I did.
Amare, Amare, Amare, Amare.
Nash helped them a lot because they were so godawful at PG before he got there. Since you brought up the talent evaluators you can go out there and ask the NBA talent scouts who they could use on their team more Amare or Nash. Every single one of them would say Amare, every single one.

If Shaq is healthy, I think he should be the MVP every year, not Duncan. Thoughts?

Not anymore. For a few years there, yes. But even when healthy anymore, he's just not the player he was.
Wow. You like him a lot more than I do, I don't even think he's a top 10 player. I wouldn't get too carried away just yet after 6 games.

I think when you consider value, it has to be LBJ. I've had NBA League Pass the last few years, and when Duncan is out, the Spurs are still formidable. However, watching Cavs games, they are atrocious whenever LBJ isn't playing. It's not even close.
LeBron has no Manu or Parker to rely on when he's not playing. This year could be different, although Hughes has not played up to his contract yet.
Especially since in those 6 games his team is a paltry 3-3.

It is funny how people who rely on watching a handful of games can be so wrong.
Last year, the the spurs were 17.3 points per 100 possessions better with Duncan on the court. The Cavs were 9.7 PP100 better with James on the court.
But yeah, you are right the Cavs sucked without Lebron. The thing is, they weren't that good with him either (while the Spurs with Duncan were awesome).
