Kevin Durant to win Finals MVP +180

[Goat Milk]

When he retires, could he be considered the greatest pure scorer ever? I mean on a talent level I've never seen anything like him. I'm obviously a young guy, have seen some games of the 90s, only highlights of the 70s/80s.

I mean this guy is 7 foot tall, dribbles like a guard, is an elite mid-range shooter, elite 3 point shooter, automatic from the line... He looks like he's developed a better understanding of how to deal with smaller defenders and would probably shit all over Tony Allen today if those matchups happened again.

For sure, he could be. Let's see what happens. This is just Durant's prime now. These next 5 years will dictate his legacy amongst the greats.

if you were a pro id do a big wager with you for those
its going to be durant or lebron easily

How big

[firekillex]

How big

Your whole betpoint bank so 500
but I couldn't trust you to turn pro on time sorry pal
Bol on your bets though

[lakerboy]

you would not be using this logic if he had played like crap.

you can always skew things to meet your narrative.

haters gonna hate i believe is how it goes.

Defenders will defend

[t-wizzle]

You said that last year too. You said it was the Thunder's time or something....

I never said OKC would win it all but I said the Game 4 win over the Spurs was a defining moment for Durant. He played incredible up until Game 6 against the Warriors.

What happened in game 6? He was missing wide open jumpers. It's a complete mystery.

i got green +600 hope cle actually guards durant and not day day

Green is such a great real time player but he won't win mvp. The award is gonna go to highest scorer just like Chauncey Billups won it by default with the Pistons even though sheed and ben Wallace were more integral

Green does so much more than a box score indicates. He's as integral to the team as curry or durant, arguably more so bc no one else can do what he does on the team whereas curry and durant overlap each other with scoring.

Any coach, scout or player will attest to that

We'll never know. He was pressing all game but they still had a good lead. Thompson made crazy shots and Curry made some too.

Was he even trying? Seems that he wanted to lose cause a win would have ensured he stayed in OKC

Blessing in disguise. Now he gets wide open dunks and threes. It's like playing on an Olympics team.

Worked out good for him for sure. He turned into a dick though.

Dirty little secret is he was always a dick.

Only thing you have to worry about is Irving. It's either going to be Durant or Irving winning MVP.

Taking over again

[firekillex]

curry triple double
still learning durant last 2 games because the blocks and defense...
need curry to cool off a bit though if he has one huge 40-50 point game he could sway votes

[t-wizzle]

Durant is the clearcut MVP over curry so far. Steph has been great but it's not even a question who deserves MVP.

[firekillex]

im on KD mvp but its not clear cut imo
curry has been playing great as well id lean 70/30 KD 2 games in but with one huge curry game it could tilt the scales

[Skrilla777]

Durant so far easily. If you watched the Warriors all year he's stepping it up now in the finals..Like he was waiting for it

[thellama]

I put my money on KD as well and so far so good. He's had the most complete performance so far.

[firekillex]

solid basketball minds in the thread.. check this out lets discuss some NBA award prop values
since we should cash out KD MVP , always need a new bet to use our winnings on

Wizzle has the finals figured out

[t-wizzle]

Durant has the edge over Curry so far.

[firekillex]

Twizzle +1900 embid ROY worth a dart throw for fun

[Seto]

MVP baby!

[t-wizzle]

MVP baby!

He pretty much locked it up in that fourth quarter.

Went on a personal 7-0 run with his team down 4 with a minute to go

Irving outplayed Curry tonight. I was starting to wonder after the first 2 games if we were finally seeing the real Irving vs Curry matchup with both guys healthy and Steph was running away with it but like you said, both are gonna have their moments I guess.

I think this shit ends in 2 days. When a team is down 2-0 and loses a close game 3, it's typically curtains in game 4. Cavs/Hawks 2015, Mavs/Lakers 2011, Wizards/Raptors 2015, etc. Although all those had the team playing to avoid the sweep on the road.

[BigDofBA]

Well....this bet is a winner. He could score 9 points next game and still be NBA. Nice call.

[firekillex]

nail in coffin tonight

good hit everybody who did it here
+210 loved the odds happy it came through

[lakerboy]

Good call here. KD is going to get it.

[mdunlap3]

This is such a lock.

[t-wizzle]

Thanks guys. Kinda annoying that Steph has such great rebounding numbers. It's not a lock but Durant should win it.

I still remember Iguodala getting MVP in 2015 when I had the perfect middle all but sealed, Warriors to win it all and LeBron to be Finals MVP. Honestly I wanted to bet Durant here but I always seem to get fukked on these type of bets so I just laid off.

It should win though. Expect it to come up in the -500 to -700 range before game 4.

Bro, Durant has led his team in scoring every game and they give it to him in critical moments over curry. Durant isn't losing finals MVP, he wants to prove he's th best player on the team and didn't just come along for the ride, me and u broke down this matchup to a t. Warriors to win it all preseason is the easiest bet I've ever made in my gambling career, yeah it was only even odds and yeah it's a long time to tie up money, but they're 15-0 in ththe playoffs, anyone that wanted to get cute and bet against them doesn't really understand Bball imo
