HalCourteney

72 | 7 hours ago

it’s 100% an agenda against him. media and former players don’t like his complaining so they’re likely giving away the MVP to a less valuable player.

This is aimed at the voters, not the other three players who are all amazing and would win MVP in most years with their seasons. I think anyone of the 4 internationals would be fine as a selection, though I think personally it should be Luka.

Sassy_Honey_Badger

25 | 6 hours ago

Yup. The media should also be the first to realize that such claims are easaily verifiable. If they’re not watching the games, at least look at the stats. These are Luka’s splits:

pre ASB (rounded up to the nearest number): 33 ppg/ 8 rpg / 9 apg on 0.614 TS%
October: 45/12/8 on .712 TS%
November: 33/8/10 on .597 TS%
December: 31/7/8 on .571 TS%
January: 34/7/9 on .638 TS%
February: 27/7/8 on .582 TS%
March: 38/8/7 on .629 TS%

So one down month which is roughly on par with Brown’s season average (29/7/5 on .572 TS%.

Dat_Boi_John | Slovenia

The seemingly down month was because he left two games in the first half due to injury. Excluding those games, he averaged 32.5 ppg in February.

Yep. There is a myth going around that Shai has been by far the best player all season so that late heroics by Luka make no difference. But Shai, Luka, Wemby, and Jokic have alternated as the Player of the Month, with only Luka winning it twice (and probably coming close to a third time in October/November when he averaged 35.1 points, 9.2 assists, and 8.7 rebounds per game).

I don’t know what stat is telling you that but it clearly doesn’t do an accurate job of measuring that gap. There’s 4 western teams head and shoulders above all but the Celtics in the East.

I’m sure the stat is because the lower seeded teams in each conference are shown being nearly equals/favouring the east because the top of each conference is almost a wide a gap as it has ever been. That Detroit team would be slapped up in the playoffs in the west.

The fact that the likes of Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons didn’t have him as a lock for All NBA First Team by the All Star Break was so absurd. Luka had almost single handeldly carried the Lakers to 10 games over .500 and bc he had a bad week of basketball, that was all thrown away.

Luka has played at an All‑NBA First Team caliber since his sophomore year and has made two deep playoff runs with two completely different teams, yet he’s earned no credibility with the mainstream media because his teammates shot 5-for-32 in the first two games of the NBA Finals—and because he had to deal with the most incompetent GM in the history of American sports

Odds from bookmakers and prediction markets mean something.

Luka started the month of March with a 1% chance on prediction markets and +15000 on sportsbooks. Which was ludacrious for a guy averaging 32/8/9 on a top 4 team.

Peaked to 15% on prediction markets and +1000 after the 60 bomber against the Heat.

All it took was a bad game and a loss against the pistons to drop to 4% on prediction markets and +2500 on sportsbooks.

Wemby was pretty much dead in the water and all it took was him saying he wanted the mvp and got up to 20%.

The odds reflect the performances, but ultimately the voters opinions. The voters are still shitting on luka even after a GOAT month. The voters aren’t anonymous. You pretty much know who has a vote.

Western-Election-997 | Lakers

I think the odds are based on them knowing the media(including ones with votes) openly despise Luka and downplaying him constantly.

The books aren’t about who will win.

It’s about manipulating bettors to get the action where the books want it so the money is distributed to minimize risk as much as possible while they make their nut on the vig.

It’s not at all about who they think will actually win. It’s about getting bettors to place bets where they want and minimizing risk while maximizing volume.

I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong, but in order to achieve the stated goals of minimizing risk and maximize volume they do have to make predictions and set lines accordingly.

Area51_Spurs | Spurs

The Goal: Balancing the Books

Sportsbooks do not simply try to predict the final score. Their primary goal is to set a line that attracts roughly equal betting volume on both sides of a wager, ensuring they profit through the commission (known as the “vig” or “juice”) regardless of the outcome. If a massive amount of money comes in on one side, the line will move to make the other side more appealing, thus balancing the sportsbook’s risk

Why did they give a player of the month award to someone who only plays 50% of basketball? /s

However far it takes to get below the new GOAT Jalen Johnson

At least to 6th or 7th he can take a spot behind Brown or Cade

Move him down to 8th. That’ll teach him for playing too well

Fuck it move him to 10th. I want to see him below Cade, Brown, Ant and Brunson on the next list

Should have been NAW and the only reason I’m mad about it is because JJ will win plenty more of these going forward. NAW may not unless he keeps this up moving forward. Either way, I’m glad a Hawk won. CA CAWWWWWW

Nome of this feels fluky or unsustainable from NAW so let’s hope some hardware remains in his future. The fit between NAW, JJ and Dyson within Quin’s system seems perfect.

I opened Reddit and I saw this and for some reason I thought Luka had been traded to the hawks for Jalen Johnson

paolo being a finalist for east player of the month is like the shitty consolation prize of also sucking complete ass

Glad to see the best player being rewarded. Multiple player of the months makes it extremely clear who the best and most valuable player in the league is.

I would assume a great deal of people know Luka/joker are the best players in the NBA.

I justt give it to Luka who does it a lesser roster.

You guys know that you don’t have to actually put corporate sonship names in your posts, right?

So tired of every thread being hijacked by the Laker fan victim mentality. You guys are literally on the other end of the spectrum. Handed superstar after superstar, relevant even in off years by the media. Just because Luka isn’t gonna win MVP this year doesn’t mean everyone is out to get you lmao

It isn’t even about him winning mvp, it’s the fact that he gets disrespected. Whenever the media talks about the candidates it’s SGA is great and the talk ends there, Jokic averaging triple double, ends there, Wemby a generational player and ends there but when it comes to Luka “ohh he’s averaging 40 and playing great BUT… there’s always a but afterwards and they will bring up something negative just to force a narrative. That’s the difference.

If we’re being real we couldn’t do it without him but he’s not exactly carrying

I agree but for some reason they only give it to stars so Jalen got it for being the number 1. Kind of weird but I guess those are the rules

Yeah he’s hooping and is still our best player, not acknowledging that is just hating.

A lot of stars are/were injured. Giannis, Tatum, Cade, Embiid, Hali, Maxey, AD.

Jalen Johnson is probably going to be All-NBA, so it is not surprising for him to be in the running for a POTM spot.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić and Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson have been named the Kia NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Month, respectively, for games played in March.
