Race to MVP (Most Valuable Player) 2008-2009

There are 4 top teams in the league. The Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers. Each has its own MVP. But who are the ones that stand out the best start off with the team with the best record in the league the Lakers Led by:

Kobe Bryant:
27.6 PPG
5.4 RPG
5.1 APG
1.3 SPG
0.4 BPG
.477 FG%
.866 FT%

Then the Orlando Magic led by the Big Fella DWIGHT HOWARD:

PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% FT%
21.1 14.2 1.2 1.0 3.0 .572 .601

The Cavs who are led by Lebron James
PPG 28.3
RPG 7.2
APG 7.1
SPG 1.8
BPG 1.2
FG% .489
FT% .773

And the Celtics but no one really stands out and I don't like them so I’m not giving them the chance for an MVP.
But there is one guy who isn’t really mentioned in this how bout that guy down in south beach yea the 2006 finals MVP Dwayne Wade the guy who leads the league in scoring and its taken his team to 31-27 record 16 more wins than last season!!! Amazing what a little effort can do right? Well yea he’s doing well but can his team really be competing in the east. I mean they acquired Jermaine O’Neal for crying out loud. Man what more can they ask for they haven’t beaten the C's but they have beaten the Cavs! but that’s about it they have a really easy schedule and there doing ok but honestly wade if you really want to be an MVP take your team to a bigger win streak than4 than lets see where you stand but truth be told I say the team with the best record that guy who spends hours in the gym working out and trying so hard that person should get that trophy because its a tough race everybody wants home-court during the playoffs and a potential game 7 in their own home court. It’s going to be a tough race but here are my votes.

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Dwayne Wade
3. Lebron James
4. Dwight Howard
5. Yao Ming---LOL

Former New York Knick G Stephan Marbury was released tuesday. he was bought and waived off for about 2 million dollars. now the celtics were pursuing stephan for a really long time. if they wanna sign any player now they have to do it. they also sogned veteran F Mikki Moore tuesday. But they dont really need STARBURY. If they do want him active for a playoff roster they need to do it before March 1st 2009 so he can be an active player for them theres 4 days left. Will they come upon an agreement?

Fact of The Day: The Celtics Last Season were the Best team in the NBA record Wise Today. 45-12 and they are the same today. Today the Lakers Break that and are 46-10! best record in the NBA! and are rolling to try to get home court advantage in the playoffs.

The Celtics were playing the Jazz when F Paul Pierve Through an alley-oop pass to F Kevin Garnett and he landed akwardly on his leg and got injured. Right knee strain was the final word and Garnett will miss 2-3 Weeks and the C's will try to find someone to fill in his defensive presence in the post.

Tracy McGrady has decided to have microfracture surgery and is going to be out for the season. the rockets are currently 35-21 and they havent ever had a healthy line-up this season and now this. and with ron Artest coming in this season houston fans were excited having there own big 3 Tracy. Yao, And Artest. Now they have a Big 2. can they survive with out the Veteran? Will see.

Last Night The Heat Visited Orlando and well they got blown out. 122-99 was the final score but the highlight of the game was not the Big man DWIGHT HOWARD. but he did have this shot

a 75 foot shot. WOW amazing but even thought the Miami Heat Lost. Dwyane Wade Dropped 50 points and 5rebs and 5 assits. Great game for the all star out of Marquette. His First Ever Carrer 50 point game . and of all the big names now of the people that came out of the 2003 draft Dwayne Wade Was the only Superstar that was left to have a 50 point game. Chris Bosh lebron james Carmelo Anthony have had them already. Dwayne Wade was the only one left. Good Game for him and bad game for his teammates he out scored them by 1 point Wade had 50 his team 49! Good Weekend. Lets see what this one has in store.

The NBA Trade Deadline is approaching and it is February 19, 3:00pm. There have been a lot of trades like Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups, the Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon trade. And the Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown for Vladimir Radmonovic. And the Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox for Tyson Chandler. Those are just some trades that have impacted the NBA.


Biggest Trades
Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks for Jermaine O’Neal and Jamario Moon
I think this trade most definitely benefits the heat because the Miami Heat was desperately looking for a big man and now they got the PF from Toronto. This Helps the Heat get that inside presence that they needed to really make them contenders in a very tough and competitive Eastern Conference. Can They Walk along side the Elite Boston Celtics, Cleavland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic??????? Well have to wait and see.


Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson
This Trade was the worst decision the Detroit Pistons Organization has ever made. They traded away the QB of the tem when Chauncey Billups went to Denver Where he first began his NBA career they have been on a roll. They are 3rd in the western Conference and 1st in their division on the other side it has brought the pistons Down So Bad tough if only they hadn’t made that trade but it’s been a while and it hasn’t shown to the Pistons Benefits.

Lakers go 6-0 on Road Trip,And Make Trade. Who's The Best of the Best? Celtics lose to Spurs.

I just finished watching the Lakers vs. Cavs game and it was a really good game. Laker F Lamar Odom had a monster game while G Kobe Bryant wasn’t exactly feeling well. He had flu like symptoms and felt vey cold during the game. He finished with 19pts and 3rebs 2 assist. But. Lamar Odom had 28pts 17rebs which were a season high and gave out 2 dimes. Great Game the Lakers go 6-0 on a road trip they Beat Boston 110-109 last time they went there they were embarrassed they lost by 39 points in the finals. Now they got payback and they sweep the Celtics (2-0. Go Lakers. Now they finally go Home to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday Night. But Over the Story is the Lakers Snapped a 23 home game win streak for the Cavs on Sunday night. So the questions Begin to arise can the Lakers be champions? They swept the Celtics and beat the Cavs twice already? Are they finally up there? Well see...

Lakers Trade F Vladimir Radmanovic to Charlotte for F Adam Morrison and G Shannon Brown. Will this Trade benefit the Lakers? Or Bobcats? this trade was unexpected and came out of the nowhere Vladimir hadn’t had much playing time since Luke Walton made the staring role in L.A. then Trevor Ariza Made the 6th man. So He was like a 3rd option or maybe 4th. Now he'll go to charlotte where he'll get more playing time. Adam Morrison known for his outside shot and Shannon brown a good solid guard will try to learn the triangular offense now that He's a Laker. We will hate to see how this will play along. As Morrison, who cut his trademark hair short before this season, will get a chance to crack the Lakers’ rotation and become an outside scoring threat. Morrison, who averaged a national-best 28.1 points for Gonzaga in 2005-06, missed all of last season after tearing a knee ligament in a preseason game.

When the Word Best is mentioned people thing the overall great. Who is the best team in the NBA?
The Lakers at 41-9
The Cavs at 39-10
The Celtics at 42-11
The Magic at 37-12
And the Spurs at 34-15
Record wise the Lakers are the best. They have great scoring potential they snapped a 19 game winning streak on Christmas day on the Celtics. They Snapped a 12 game winning streak to the Celtics again, and the Lakers snapped a 23 game win streak at Cleveland on Sunday. Are They The Best? This Conversation can go on forever. But the Celtics and magic have the same flaw on their teams. The Bench Scoring isn’t the greatest and the Cavs don’t do well if Lebron James isn’t doing well they can’t win with out him. The spurs are probably the only team in the west who can challenge the Lakers in the west. And just wait and see how the Celtics, Magic Grind it out for the rest of the season. So once again who is the best team in the NBA? Vote on the poll on your right of the screen.

The Celtics Lost at home to the Spurs. It was an exciting game to watch and once again G Roger Mason was CLUTCH... He made a 3 to put the spurs up by 2 with 20 ticks left and in the inbound pass Ginobli makes a steal and they hit there free throws and the spurs Shock the Celtics and win 105-99.
