MVP finalist misses playoffs, makes league voters look dumb

[Hey Yo]

Stupid enough that a finalist is an 8 seed.... more dumb that he doesn't even make the playoffs!!

Curry's legacy takes a huge hit by this scenario playing out.

Ja Morant is no slouch. He dropped 35 on 48%, pretty bright future for a 21 year old.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Makes the play-in look ****ing dumb. Its one game so obviously anything can happen.

Gotta give Ja his credit though. He closed the game in style.

Warriors had the 8th best record in the Regular Season, but were forced to play the Lakers and then the Grizzlies to keep that spot. Kareem won an MVP and missed the Playoffs BTW.

yeah but kareem won it when there was only like 12 teams. Things are different now, no way you should be a top 3 MVP if you can't lead your team to the playoffs under the play in format that gives you two chances.

This season isn't like others. Covid-19, play in, and a 72 game season. GS was the 8th seed (which would have made the playoffs) and Steph had his team on a 48 win pace. All of that has to be factored in.

18 teams, but the premise still holds. Bran stans want to diminish from what Steph did this season because Steph is a rival of LeBron. They don't even check the history that they so proudly claim.

Steph's leadership was called into question. LeBron was brought in to mentor Kuzma, Ball, and Ingram. He missed the playoffs that year and shipped out 2/3 guys, yet Bran stans never questioned his leadership with Ingram putting up 25 PPG next to him when he was out and when he returned.

Without an All-Star teammate

Westbrook: Playoffs + MVP
Harden: Multiple playoff appearances
LeBron: led team to Finals
Curry: misses playoffs 2nd straight year


Media hype and millions of Casual followers really help the MVP narrative.

Yes, James missed the playoffs in 2019 but context says, Ingram, Rondo, Ball and Hart missed 120+gms w/o counting James' 25+

Ridiculous. Steph played 5 games last year. He missed almost the entire season. :lol

[Spurs m8]

Watching these bron stans make so many Curry threads.

Curry d1cked these guys for years and had them in literal tears....I see you're all having having trouble letting go lol

Warriors had two games to get in.

Right because Oubre, Draymond, Steph, Wiseman, etc didn't miss any playing time. :lol

Yeah no shit :lol

I'm talking about their direct matchups. The dubs would have got in with 1 win vs LA too. Point is they already had the 8th seed locked up, so this play-in "tourney" is nonsense.

It’s very unfair. Makes no sense. Just a cash grab.

Its wack bro. An all-time great season by Curry and it was reduced to 2 games :oldlol: Because of Silver's cryptKeeper looking ass, we can't even watch dude cook in the playoffs.

Steph missed 25+ also?? Green missed the last 19 like Ingram?

Context says take the L, chico

Curry is constantly plagued by the bad karma he builds up every time he does his cringey shimmies.

[Axe]

For once i agree with you op.
