I wonder why 
I mean they're annoying AF at times, but so are the Fakers (complaining about refs, calls, free throws, which is ironic considering the amount of help they get and how they flop to death) with their insufferable leader LeSwept and that massive turd nugget D Lo - arrogant overrated Muppet.
I don't hate the Nuggets (Jokic is awesome, and I like MPJ and Gordon), but I would like to see Minny go all the way and win the chip.
Ant Man is going to be the best player in the league in 2 years.

I can't see past Wemby. A rookie season of 21.4/10.6/3.9AST/3.6BLK and maybe the best defensive player in the league already. He's that good that early I'd be amazed if someone was better in another two years.
I'd be very happy to see Rudy win a chip. I'd be pissed at seeing Spida win it anywhere as he's a bit of a bitch (watch him bail on the Cavs this off season). Utah should have done better in the era of those two but Spida's ego, Quin Snyder's shit perimeter D coaching and injuries killed it.
First thing about winning a chip without a super team (and even so) is team culture. Wolves don't have a star studded lineup but they all know what they are doing and play for each one. One star, one great defensive player, another kind of top 40 player with guarantees and lots of pieces around them that all contribute. Guys like NAW are unsung role players, not stats but know what to do.
Thinking about it I'd most be stoked for Mike Conley as he's a great guy and was probably just the wrong fit and unlucky with injuries for us. That's the other main thing, if Ant or Rudy or perhaps even Mike sit a series through injury then the team chances decline on a large scale, but that's just the format of basketball rosters. It's not like football where some clubs have virtually two guys of the same quality in every position and you can hide a bit with 11 players.

Is PI a Laker fan? I forgot.
For me I hella enjoy the Nuggets, they are our divisional rivals, but allways mutual respect and appreciation between us and them (same GM built both teams, and all our coaches used to work for them and vice versa for them). They play play ball the right way, focused team, and its only a semi injured Murray being a total crybaby bitch out there, most of the others are still professionals.
And its allways enjoyable to see them punking Lakers on yearly basis lol

I hope they on't suspend Jamal Murray for throwimg things. Making him play game 3 against this Wolves defense might be the worst punishment.
[
I envision Jamal Murray asking league office for a suspension. And Joe Dumars (executive president, handles suspensions) personally calls him up to say Samuel L Jackson style:
"WE NOT BAILING YOU OUT, YOU GONNA SIT THERE AND TAKE THIS ASS WHOOPING"

Jokic, MPJ, Gordon, KCP. Definitely a fan of all these guys. Still much prefer the T-Wolves. KAT is really the only guy I’m not a fan of on your team. Would love to see Gobert and Conley win a championship too.
Wemby is amazing, and he's going to be winning multiple chips if he stays healthy. I think you will be able to make a case for Wemby, Ant Man, Shai, or Luka being the best player in the league in 2-3 years (Luka is already in that conversation now), as long as their teams remain competitive and, more importantly, they all stay healthy. I think they're all great players, wonderful to watch.
I love how the Timberwolves play, and I believe Ant Man is such a fearless mofo on the court and insanely funny off it. Gobert, whom I've had reservations about, seems like a good dude (watched him on TNT this morning as he joined the guys to accept his Defensive player of the year award - which should have been won by Wemby IMO), and Conley is indeed a great guy.
Fuck Spida Bitchell or anyone in the East for that matter - my Magic are out, and I don't like any of the remaining teams. I hope Minny or OKC win the whole thing.
@Osman PI is a bonafide Laker endorser, but he's a reasonable fan like @KB824. FYI, I don't hate the Lakers: I supported them when they had the late great Kobe and Shaq, two of my favorite players - I just dislike this modern iteration of the franchise.

I'm not saying he deserved DPOY this year but that he's maybe the best defensive player in the league because of his unique skillset. Once he irons out the rookie mistakes even more so.
This year I don't think there's anything wrong with giving it to Rudy but there aren't other realistic alternatives past Wemby. You could also make arguments for or against playing in a great defensive team or poor one.

Also especially people forget he wasn't that great defensively before all-star break when he was still PF. When he was moved to Center around January is when he started going, especially after all-star break in February.
Before that imo the better rookie defender was Chet and Wemby was nowhere DPOY candidate as a PF next to zack Collins.
So it's really just recency stuff of past months and forgetting you need to be consistent.
Bam had strong case too for the whole year.
