a lot of the old timer team announcers that had votes and favoured wins more heavily have been replaced or just outright lost their vote.


Damn, so Harden probably would have been 3rd since that favors The KLaw.

No. it's been down to 2 guys for a while. Of those two james has lead his team to a much better season.

Leonard, although his team has more wins wasn't close enough to the others for the wins to matter. It's a sliding scale.

Very odd since you had your pulse on the voters.

Why are you afraid to give out a %?

These voters were blindsided. A guy like matty Moore didn't even know he had a vote til 2 weeks ago. Others were informed of no vote at the same time. Again, unforeseen.

This thread should be tabled until winners are announced.

To summarize

tRational MSB poster= correct about MVP race the entire season

Boom= still right due to "unforseen circumstances" i.e. being wrong but hedging to hell and back.

60 Wins was attainable.
Yes it was, and you revised you prediction.

But in typical boom fashion, you dismiss the revision and argue it was an attainable win total. Since your previous prediction was preseason, and coincidentally more accurate, that's the one that counts.

But what about overpredicting their wins by 20+ wins last preseason? Well Zach Lowe made the game prediction, but conveniently ignore he calls them his "CRAZY predictions for such and such season."

But you make it clear you don't mind, maybe even like, being wrong. You are continously learning, adapting, becoming a better you.

Then when it's time to admit your wrong, all of a sudden you meant something else, you were right at some other time, or someone else was wrong too.

Even the oddsmakers are hedging. Good company to be in

You mean the same oddsmakers that are going to lose money from having Harden 12 times as likely to win two months ago?

Good company indeed bro hahaha

Haven't tabulated lately too many people are seeking out explanations right now. Once I get all of them straight I'll rerun my #s.

Oh so the oddsmakers aren't infallible. Can you explain that to some of your posting brethren?

I'm glad you mentioned him because I'm pretty sure he's you, or he reads this website.

His article from Wednesday discusses almost every point you and I debaters on Monday, and his reasoning is ultimately the same as your's.
