LeBron’s Cavaliers crush Celtics after MVP snub

The NBA on Friday night released the three finalists for this year’s MVP award that featured Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook, Houston Rockets point guard James Harden, and San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard, according to ESPN. The Washington Wizards’ career franchise leader in assists and steals enjoyed the best season of his career in 2016-17, averaging career bests in points per game (23.1), assists per game (10.7) and steals per game (2.0) while leading the Wizards to within one win of the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

So, what does he think?

Later on Friday, the Cleveland Cavaliers finished one of the most laughably lopsided victories in National Basketball Association playoff history, completely embarrassing the Boston Celtics 130-86 in a game that was, somehow, an even bigger blowout that that score suggests. Yes, I know his numbers were, once again, stupid – over 26 points, eight assists and eight boards a night.

Did you know NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was so anxious about the league’s TV ratings that he rang up LeBron James and told him to take it easy on the Celtics? That’s for you guys to write about. I would like to add LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers here but since the list was limited to three, not going to contend anymore. James and Westbrook each got 99 of a possible 100 first-team votes. Davis’ player efficiency ranking was ranked fourth in the league.As for Westbrook, it’s a deserved achievement after a truly historic season. And as mentioned earlier, the MVP is usually based off statistics and personal accomplishments, which makes it a little hard to argue against Westbrook’s MVP spot here, because he will most likely end up winning.

On June 26, the victor of the award will be announced by league officials. “I look at LeBron like Shaq”. Gobert was the dominant man in the middle for a Utah team that allowed the fewest points per game during the regular season. Davis previously made the All-NBA First Team in 2015.

“I guess everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I don’t see how you could not put him in at least the top three”. Spoelstra guided the Miami Heat to a 41-41 finish and nearly into the playoffs after they started 11-30. The MVP candidate is the only player to receive unanimous choice for being selected to this team.Harden recorded a career-best 22 triple-doubles.

Let’s get to the most important part first – I didn’t have a vote this year on it so I’m not to blame. “Our team is in a great groove, and I’m happy to be a part of that groove.”, he explained. No sooner had last week’s wild draft lottery dropped off the radar of the league’s devoted UFO spotters (“Lemme guess: Boston goes first, then Lakers at No. 2?) up popped Game 3 Sunday between the Celtics and Cavaliers. Just like (Shaquille O’Neal), you can give him the MVP every season, if you want to”. First is worth 10, second 7, third 5, fourth 3 and fifth 1.
