2022-23 - NBA Award Thread

If that is the case neither should Shai, 2 games difference.

And if Wins are important again then Jokic should be everyones MVP as he has played in the most wins of the main three.

And if Wins are important again then Jokic should be everyones MVP as he has played in the most wins of the main 3, by like half a dozen as well.

He won MVP last year as a 6th seed, if that is the case Luka can make an all NBA team.

 

[Richard Cranium]

That's not a thing though is it. They havent changed it back to one centre, two forwards and two guards. It's still three frontcourt and two backcourt.

So makes sense to have Embiid, Jokic and Giannis all in the 1st team.

Think it's just the all star voting that's 3/2.

 

[burge13]

Didnt Quickley start too many games for 6MOY? No idea where I read that though lol

Voters tend to vote new. Joker would get my vote for MVP but think Embiid wins

ROY - Paulo
DPOY - JJJ
6MOY - Brogdon
MIP - Lauri

Fox is the most clutch player in the league this season. Mitchell has also been superb for the Cavs. Both are top 4 seeds. I have them both ahead of Doncic, ditto SGA.

The thing is though if you switch the players, are SGA, Mitchell or Fox dragging the Mavericks into the playoffs? No. Luka did all he good, but the Mavericks stink.

SGA has a worse roster than what Luka has and they still made the play-in, so perhaps the answer is yes.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Who was the last guy to average 33/8/8?

I have no issue with winning being a part of it, but i think a guy who has put up historic numbers needs to be considered despite a bad record.

It’s a historic usage rate at 37.5% so factor that in also.

It’s a piece of the puzzle not a sole factor

I mean they had an almost identical record until the front office tried to tank, also the thunder roster is younger not sure it is worse.

I dont think the Thunder's roster is worse than the Mavericks at all.

Easy to say after the event.

No one pre-season had the Thunder finishing ahead of the Mavs. No one.

That is because of how good Luka is, not because of how good the rest of the roster is constructed. If you put Luka on the Thunder and SGA on the Mavs in the pre season everyone would be predicting the Thunder to finish ahead of the Mavs.

 

[fidstar]

Embiid 2nd and Jokic 3rd in mvp, yet Jokic in first all NBA and Embiid isn’t?

Hedging my bets!

Where are your picks?

 

[peternorth]

There is also The NBA Clutch Player of the Year Award

Named after Jerry West. It is Foxs.

I predict the MVO shall be shared between joker and embiid

Are they the clutch player of the world?

 

[jod23]

Half Curry hahah

 

[Elmer_Judd]

The first ever Jerry West most clutch player of the season winner simply has to be De'Aaron Fox, just look at how he cooked the Dubs in the final quarter in game 1.

 

[peternorth]

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I tipped this. Well deserved !

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Well deserved

Breakout season for Fox and The Kings

 

[Slysh]

Oh no, Jokic All NBA 1st team over Embiid. Here comes the rant….

Am i missing something lol?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Coach of the Year decided tonight (US time, so a few hours from now)

Fingers crossed for Joe Mazz (although Mike Brown will win)

Outside of Fox for CPOTY this might be the biggest slam dunk of all the awards. Brown had it wrapped up a month ago
