Brown -280 to win Series MVP

[stevenash]

The only time I'll ever lay 3:1 on anything would be if The Lord Jesus Christ himself was tonight's starting pitcher for the Dodgers...

However, I'm actually thinking this line seems too easy.
(If I were to lay the 3:1, actually 2.80 but you get the gist of it)

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Jesus Saves...and Esposito scores on the rebound.

I like your play. These things are pretty obvious.

[Headsterx]

Wow, the line is too high. What if Brown gives a mid performance and Tatum has a monster game for G4. Wouldn’t Tatum win MVP?

[stevenash]

^ @ Chucky
Right, if you ask Jayson Tatum who is the Series MVP right now, it'll take him a second to answer "My running buddy, JB."

Pts/Rebs/Asts +-/Stl/Blk Turnovers

G1
Tatum 16/11/5 +19 0/1 6 TOV
Brown 22/6/2 +12 3/3 2 TOV

G2
Tatum 18/9/12 +6 1/0 3 TOV
Brown 21/4/7 -3 3/0 6 TOV

G3
Tatum 31/6/5 -4 1/0 2 TOV
Brown 30/8/8 +3 0/1 1 TOV

Looking just at stats, it's actually very close to even but Brown's definitely had the bigger moments and it definitely feels like he's been their best player

But if Tatum has a monster game 4 and Brown struggles then Tatum can still win it IMO

[asiagambler]

Or if series extends past 4 games and Tatum outplays Brown, etc.

Averages:

Tatum 21.7/8.7/7.3
Brown 24.3/6.0/5.7

On it!

Don't forget last series Brown only won the MVP 5 votes to 4. He was more clear cut last series if you ask me. These voters are unpredictable a lot of times.

Give Nashy some credit. He already BOUGHT Windhorst's vote. Cost = one jelly donut.

[TeddyB]

They might feel sorry for Brown because he wasn't named to any of the All-NBA teams when he clearly should have.

You're betting on the opinion of a bunch of media morons; think about that and tread lightly.

They are a bunch of dopes. Brian Bratwurst lecturing anyone about their play is laughable. When is the last time that guy grabbed a salad?

This!!

[Headsterx]

This is going down to the wire. If Tatum can pull a triple double, then he got it. But don’t think he’ll get enough mins to hit it.

18/9/5 mid 3rd quarter

[asiagambler]

He doesn't need a triple double. He will lead Boston in points, rebounds and assists for the entire series. Brown might have more points but not by much. How can it be given to anyone else lol

It’s close enough that I can still see Brown winning it. Just figure a triple double would seal the deal. W/o it, he can still win but it will be close. Like in boxing, do NOT leave it up to the judges.

Yeah Brown can definitely still win it because he had the momentum early and voters can still be swayed by that

If there was ever a time to give co-MVPs it's definitely here

b365 has live betting on Finals MVP. Current odds

This is more interesting than the game.

100%. You know Tatum will ball-hog until the end with this huge lead. I think he's almost got it locked up by now

To be fair, he probably "deserves" it, he's been the better player throughout the years and really, he's probably been the better player this series too since he's been a much better playmaker and Kidd's put much more defensive pressure on him contrary to saying Brown was their best player

[asiagambler]

Tatum 29/9/11

Brown 19/8/6

Gotta be Tatum. Never know with voters though I guess

[Headsterx]

He’s close enough to triple double and 31 pts! He got it. Sorry Nash.

[asiagambler]

Oh did stevenash actually bet it ?

I thought he was just thinking about it. I hope they give it to Brown in that case but doesn't seem likely

Ops, had to re-read it again and it wasn’t clear whether he bet it or not. Hopefully, he listened to us and didn’t pull the trigger.

[stevenash]

No, I didn't bet it.
I won't lay 3:1

Made for some good conversation though.

I say give Old Man Al the MVP
For being a career pro.

[asiagambler]

WOW they gave it to Brown !!

[asiagambler]

That is crazy, I'd have to look at the numbers but I'm almost certain Tatum had higher averages in pts, rebs and assists

[stevenash]

Just saying.

I still won't lay -280 on anything.

[ThaWoj]

My +7500 on jrue could have hit. I'd like to know how close the voting was.

[k13]

Damn...brown was big odds at the end

[ThaWoj]

Damn...brown was big odds at the end

Tatum was -550 with 5 or so minutes left

Brown won 7-4. No votes for Holiday

Nice call. Tough one though. Personally impossible for him to win it unless C's win it, so -140 C's to win first and series was more to my liking.

You know it's a tough call when Holiday plays like that and doesn't get a call. !!!
