How can Blake win the MVP this season?

[LoneyROY7]

Would 27/10/5 with a number 1 seed in the West get the job done?

So basically prime Shaq numbers (less rebounds more assists)

Yes.

3 more points and 1 more assist a game than last season...not that unreasonable.

1. Be better than CP3
2. Improve his back to the basket game (he made major strides but can take it up one more notch IMO)
3. Improve that fadeaway/jumper
4. Top 3 seed at least

So basically prime Shaq numbers (less rebounds more assists)

Last year Blake put up 24/9.5/4.
Blake is a better passer than Shaq so it isn't out of the question for him to drop say, 25 or 26/10/4.5. I doubt he goes up one full assist, but damn it is impressive how close Blake's numbers are to Prime Shaq.

I love me some Ba-lack-ay, but last season was his peak.

27 points is actually a pretty big jump. I dont think he makes it.

Top 3 stats, outplay CP3 and get #1 in the west.

Clips gotta be a top 2 seed. San Antonio and OKC have been the top dogs for a while now..if he wants to be (consistently) taken seriously as an MVP candidate, he and the Clippers have to surpass one of those two teams, at least in the regular seasons standings. He also has to be the clear-cut best player on his team, has to be the #1 to CP3's #2.

There's just so many candidates this year too..KD and Lebron are probably the frontrunners, then you have Rose with his Bulls lurking, Blake, his teammate CP3, Steph Curry if the Warriors take the next step, maybe Lillard and Aldridge again, etc. Blake's got some serious competition, he has to have the numbers. Something like 26/11/4/1/1 on 50%+ shooting along with a top 2 seed (something like 59-62+ wins) would get it done imo. Unless one of those guys mentioned earlier goes plays out of their mind next year.

Score 3-4 more points, rebound the ball better, become a better defender, hope Pau drops off, get the top seed.

I expect further improvements from Blake this season (more consistent jumper, more refined post game). Couple that with CP's growing willingness to defer to Blake as the number 1 option and I don't see it being an unrealistic possibility.

If he played like 04 K.g.

[qrich]

With Jordan en route to another 12+ rebound per game season, Blake's absolute peak for rebounds will most likely be 10-10.5.

I can see him adding another bucket a game as well as dropping his turnovers.

What'll help push him over the edge is if he can be more consistent throughout the whole season, and make more impact in the clutch.

27/10/5 is insane. i doubt he could put those numbers up
