Many of us are impressed with the Bulls' performance this season. Regarding DeRozan and LaVine, both have great stats. However, I agree with Yogee that they won't have a chance to compete with Curry and Durant for the MVP title of the regular season. Curry looks unstoppable, and I think he will be MVP this season imho.

It's a big surprise indeed. I mean, you cannot expect that much chemistry with a roster that has new players being injected. The same with the Wizards shockingly being on the top of the East last week.
About MVP run, this is kind of in the unpredictable discussions. Durant is doing great putting the Nets offense in his shoulders and there is still Jokic and Doncic that should be considered. One health and safety protocol could make the top players miss a lot of games and the others on the top 4 below could surpass them easily.
I can't decide who will win this but if injuries/covid are set aside, it could be Curry. He is in the zone.

Yes, if GSW will continue it's winning streak and Curry getting his second straight scoring title maybe we can see a unanimous votes for him as MVP. But as you have said, Doncic's magic is still there and we all know that in the beginning, he was the odds favorite to win the MVP. Last year we didn't see Jokic winning until after the All-Star Break if I'm not mistaken. So I guess it is still open but Curry by far is above the rest right now. Being the top seed though doesn't mean a thing in the MvP race.

I think it's early to conclude this discussion, especially we are not yet passing the NBA All-star week 2022. anything can happen next year but if Klay Thompson will further boost Curry's performance then you can say try again next time to the other candidate because they won't have a chance at all. Stephen Curry has once again become the all-time favorite this year as you can see there are lots of fans on the court when they play just to see him shoot those stunning threes.

Its a big surprise that the Bulls are right now at the top after not entering the playoffs last season.
Lavine and DeRozan played better this season compare to last season but I think that they have a low chance of winning the MVP this season.

We know who is the top pick for MVP right now and its Curry. Maybe if Curry gets injured (hope not) then these 2 have a shot of winning it but right now, my and some others' pick here is Curry. The Curry that we are seeing right now is almost the same as the Curry way back in 2014-2015 and the difference is that, he has more help from other players compare to that time. Still he is my pick right now but too early since we are nowhere the half of the season.

Judging on how Curry has been performing early this season, everyone can say that he's the top MVP candidate obviously.
He's unarguably the best shooter of all time, that alone can be enough to tell he's an MVP caliber player.
Though there were a bunch of good players in the NBA today especially the young guns, but as you said Curry has been great once again.
He had an early momentum most probably he will finish the way he started the season.

What Curry made more successful this season is because he is healthy, not only that, he also gets the support from his teammates, they are stepping up and they make the Warriors once again a tough team to beat, it's like the old Warriors who easily dominate their opponent, and take not, this team is still without Thompson, so expect a better team with Thompson but Curry would still lead the team as usual.

Damn true. The hardest part of all when you are playing a physical game, to keep yourself safe and at the same time be healthy to avoid injuries in practices or in game. That requires a lot of time in the gym and everyday stretches which others are lazy to do. Like me. 

I think Jokic will still have a fighting chance for the MVP race if ever someone will step up his game and be a legit shooter. With that, his assist per game could go high giving him an opportunity to be on top again. No update regarding Jamal Murray yet so thinking that could help is out of the question.

And I think it's more of his discipline, he is no longer the skinny kid with he first make it to the NBA. He has gain so much muscle that you can't just push him as compare to 3-5 years ago. So he can now dry more often score more basketball without getting the risk of injuries.


It boils down to his team though, and with MPJ out Jokic will have to take all the offensive load and it might cause him some problems down the line and he should remain consistent too just like last year.

They'll win this game, LA Clippers are a good team at home, they win 8 of their 12 matches at home, so against the Piston, I don't think they will give the Piston a chance to make it a close game. Per betting line, Clippers are -11.5 to win, that's a heavy favorite there, so the chance is very high for them to win as experts are less likely to make mistakes.

edit, 62-40 is the score now in favor of the Clips. This is easy!
