[peternorth]

good effort.

agree with the offensive and glamourous all NBA teams. Defensive ones may need more time on my behalf, but surely Jamison gets a go?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Where's Jimmy White for MIP?

 

[mdc]

Looks good, although as per the other thread, I think Gasol -> 2nd team is a no-brainer. He's been the best player on the best team in the West this year.

Also, Manu has had a better season than J-Crawf in less minutes, but because he started 20/74 games, might miss out on 6th man.

 

[WALL-e]

Whos guernsey does Gas take in the 2nd team?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Whos guernsey does Gas take in the 2nd team?

Melo's?

He started like a house on fire, but dropped off. Luckily Chauncey was there.

Bogut. Though that month-and-a-half was as good as anything Gasizzle has done, over the whole season the Spaniard has it comfortably.

 

[WALL-e]

Probably, I may have Bogut homer in me saying no. And Lakers hate saying GasLOL. But you're probably right.

 

[peternorth]

mdc is right

 

[Spriteftw3]

Melo's?

He started like a house on fire, but dropped off. Luckily Chauncey was there.

lol wut at that whole statement. Clearly Melo has been our best player all year. Chauncey has been absolute trash for the past month+

January: 24.2 ppg, 6.9 apg, 47.6% FG, 47.8% 3P FG

Februrary: 23.4 ppg, 6.0 apg, 46.2% FG, 46.7% 3P FG

March: 17.9 ppg, 4.6 apg, 38.2% FG, 27.3% 3P FG

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I think Howard will finish runner-up in the MVP and probably fair enough.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Although that said, if Durant scores at least 19 at home to the Grizz, he'll finish his third season averaging 30 a game on 48/36/90 shooting. At 21. Just freakish.

Have you got Melo's stats for comparison or is he still lying in the lane?

January 28.2 ppg, 3.2 apg, 43.4 FG%, 38% 3P FG, 7 rpg

February 24.5 ppg, 3.8 apg, 42.2 FG%, 28% 3P FG, 5 rpg

March 27.8 ppg, 3.2 apg, 46 FG%, 21% 3P FG, 8.1 rpg

Actually i think he is trying to take his team to the NBA finals despite the injuries/missing head coach they have had to put up with.

 

[Dez!]

I find it a bit poor that Bogut didn't even get a mention by the TNT team in their choice for "Defensive Player of the Year" or "Most Improved Player". Didn't need to win either of them necessarily but definitely deserved a mention.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Dwight Howard wins defensive player of the year

2nd: Josh Smith
3rd: Gerald Wallace
4th: LeBron James
5th Rajon Rondo

 

[SaintsPremiers08]

lol what...no Afflalo?

 

[WALL-e]

No Jamison DPOY?

 

[hong_kong_bond]

Dwight Howard wins defensive player of the year

2nd: Josh Smith
3rd: Gerald Wallace
4th: LeBron James
5th Rajon Rondo

Bogut 7th with 1 1st place, 2 2nd place and 12 3rd place votes (23 points in total)

 

[PHX]

Bogut should have been higher.






Thunder’s Brooks named NBA coach of the year

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks has been named the NBA’s coach of the year after engineering the league’s best turnaround.

The Thunder won 27 more games this season than they did a year ago, going 50-32 and earning the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs with the NBA’s youngest roster.

The improvement came without a significant free agent signing. Instead, the team is primarily the same group of players as last season plus rookies James Harden(notes), Serge Ibaka(notes) and Eric Maynor(notes).

Stan Calls the 2 people that didn't have Dwight in the top 3 'idiots'

 

[PHX]

Sources with knowledge of the situation have confirmed to 11 Sports that Aaron Brooks will be named the NBA’s Most Improved Player on Thursday.

Brooks’ averages increased in every major statistical category with the exception of free throw shooting percentage in 2009-2010.




Bogut much?
