[eliooo93]

The regular season is almost over. Here are some of my predictions concerning MVP, MIP and other awards.
MVP: Prince James (CLE)
MIP: He was great last season but even better this season: K.Durant, hopefully next year's MVP (OKC)
ROY: T.Evans (SAC)
Defensive player of the Year: D.Howard (ORL)/G.Wallace (CHA)
6th man of the year: J.Crawford (ATL)
Coach of the Year: S.Brooks (OKC)
General manager of the Year: D.Ferry (CLE)

[LordOfLeyte]

COY: Scott Brooks

ROY: Tyreke Evans

MVP: LeBron James

Most Improved: Landry (Its too late for Blatche to win it?)

[mvblair]

MVP: LeBron James. Kobe and Dirk deserve consideration.
Rookie of the Year: Brandon Jennings. Tyreke Evans is fantastic, but Jennings is running the point for a solid play-off team
Defensive Player of the Year: Dwight Howard. He's just a big dude.
Coach of the Year: Scott Skiles of Milwaukee. Maybe Lionel of Memphis.
Sixth Man: Jamal Crawford. Great player on a good play-off team. Maybe Manu. Yeah, maybe Manu.
Most Improved Player: Aaron Brooks of Houston. I didn't think much of him when the season started, but he's been pretty good.

• MVP: at the end of the day is going to be LeBron James BUT I'd give it to Nash just 'cause he is more vaulable for he's team athn Lebron and does not need 3 super star around him to make his team better, Lebron gives you lots of stats that's all.
  
  
  Rookie of the Year: Tyreke Evans, had I been asked who was going to be the ROY before the all Star break, I would have said Brandon Jennings easily but, the boy is just playing plain horrible as of late. I think Ste
  
  
  Defensive Player of the Year: Gerald Wallace, a guy his has averagingg 12 rebounds per game , REALLY!!!!!!!!!!; REALY, REALY !!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALY !!!!!!!!!!!.
  
  
  Coach of the Year: this one is easy

The Rockets players who are hustling, defending and playing great ball because of Rick Adelmen

I mean, c'mon just give 'im the FREAKING award already and let get this over with. We all know he robbed when he coached the Queens, I mean, Kings that went to the western finals in 2002, even last year went The rockets made the palyoff without Yao and TMac, playing a bunch of The Benchwarmers

Adelmen has taken players off the bench and giving them lot of valuable minutes when it matters, and that's the reason so many Rockets are having career Years like Aaron Brooks, Ariza, Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola and Lowry.

• Sixth Man: Jamal Crawford.
  
  
  Most Improved Player: this gotta be the toughtest one to choose, there are just way too many underrated players sensational years, so is going to be one of these:

"Trevor Ariza, Al Horford, Josh smith, Channing Frye, Gerald Wallace, Westbrook, Mark Gasol, Rondo, Joakim Noah, Rasual Butler and about anybody who plays for Golden State, C.J. Watson anyone?."

Noah, Ariza and Mark Gasol have missed a lot of o games and have being really inconsistent, so I think is a save bet to say they won't get this award.

if there were any justice should've Westbrook the All-star team. He is without a doubt a top 5 point guard in the league IN THIS SEASON.

Horford is having a 15 ppg and 10 rpg, and what's more impresive is that he's done it ina a really good team (unlike Andrew Bogut) and the fact tha he is the last option on offense in his team (unlike Andrew Bogut), amkes it even more incredible.

Liekwise, Josh Smith is having the best year of his career by far, and funny enough all it took was to stop shooting those freaking three pointers , Smith is also a candidate for the defensive player of the year, and what even best, he is passing the ball and making plays for his teammates (about 3 assit per game)

Channing Frye is doing the opposite of what Josh Smith is doing, and apparently it's working out. Though, I doubt he's production has anything to do with him being a better player rather and him playing alongside Steve Nash, it's actually pretty obvious, because ever since he started comming off the bench his production has been sinking becaouse he is playing with the second unite, which means he plays less time with Nash and more with Goran Dragić running the point.

Gerald Wallace is well, and established All-star player now, nuff said.

and Rondo is...........mn. well he is ............. (see Westbrook and Wallace above)

Rasual Butler on the other hand, wasn't used properly according to his skills in New Orleans a needed a chance o scenario to showcase what he is capable of doing

and C.J. Watson, Reggie Williams, Anthony Tolliver, Devean George, Stephen Curry, Monta Ellis and Morrow happen to be playing for Golden State.


if I had to put my money on someone though, that'd be Gerald Wallace or Westbrook.

MVP-LBJ23

ROY-Tyreke Evans

MIP-Trevor Ariza

COY-Larry Brown

i also add anderson varejao for MIP

[Lewis]

i also add anderson varejao for MIP

why

Varejao's numbers this season are almost identical to those he got last season. He has gotten worst (even not significantly) in certain stats.

a better choice would be Chris Kaman, 12 points per game last season, over 18 this season.

[rikhardur]

Tyreke Evans rookie of the year.

[LordOfLeyte]

My personal choice for Quote of the Year would be that of Tracy McGrady's quote after being traded by Houston to New York.

"Rockets Mistreated Me".

Fans of the Year:

...., Nets CEO Brett Yormark got into a heated confrontation with a fan wearing a bag over his head who was sitting in the second row across from the Nets’ bench. The fan claimed that Yormark asked him why he was wearing the bag and that when he sarcastically answered, “Because the Nets are so good,” Yormark snapped at him. A Yormark spokesperson said he did not have any comment.

Mascot of the Year:

See how he limps off the court

[LordOfLeyte]

I remember those fans wearing paper-sacks having a word to the Nets CEO. I heard they were banned for next season on the Nets games.

I remember those fans wearing paper-sacks having a word to the Nets CEO. I heard they were banned for next season on the Nets games.

Actually I remember reading the opposite . I read somewhere that the Nets CEO had a descent chat with them and he promised them gifts

Ah yes here it is : "Any fan who put a paper bag on his head would be offered a nylon Nets’ bag containing a poster, a pack of player trading cards and a printed note from Yormark that said:

“Thanks for letting us see your face. We hope to see it more often at Nets’ games.”

No Celtic?

[rikhardur]

No Celtic?

The Celtics are a very balanced team. No player stands out significantly more than the others.
