So if MVP voting is any indication of how the All-NBA teams will go, looks like Durant is gonna be on 2nd team
desearvedly so kawai had a much better year than kevin offensively and defensively...leaonard shot 50 percent from 3 for most of the season. what a beast and one of the best perimeter defenders in nba history

No

He did not have a "much better" year. KD had better offensive stats in several categories, and he did it while playing with a ball-dominant who took a massive amount of his production away.

If Kawhi is first team, great, but he did not have a "much better year".

I think the Warriors will take advantage of his poor defensive awareness. I think Draymond can negate Love's offense, unless they allow him to get a lot of open 3's. It would be interesting though, because the Warriors have defended the 3 pretty poorly in my opinion. Too many open looks, especially in the Portland series.

I'm watching this nikka play 2K and man...

Blazers had Roy, Aldridge, and Oden in 2010. If two of those 3 could've avoided getting hurt for 2 more years, they could've had 4 of the best at their positions in terms of talent. By now, the investment would've turned into godliness.

Unfortunate that didn't work out. This Blazers vs Warriors series would've been incredible

If Mozgov stopped being garbage and was something like he was last year, they'd be able to exploit Draymond's tendency to always foul down low.

I've read that the Blazers were a combined 50-12 during the 62 games they all played together. When Oden played his last game for the Blazers, he was 21, Aldridge 24 & Roy 25 plus a young Batum (21).

exactly, They would've all been somewhere around their relative primes or maybe a little just outside of that era by the time Lillard really became the beast he is now

They probably don't get Lillard if they all stayed healthy but then again that was the Nets pick
