most of these awards are dumb but COY seems the dumbest behind MIP

My defense of a lebron vote would be solely that he is still great and it would be a make up award for some previous years

I wouldn’t actually vote for him though with harden existing this year

Having to completely remake lebrons custom built team around him midstream is also a serious strike against any real mvp candidacy too as lowe goes into extensively

he was prob the worst defender in the league this year

Aw cmon that’s not true

He was the worst defender in the league for like six weeks tops

i understand conserving yr energy but i feel like he cldve balanced it a lil better between offense and defense

he def wasn't the worst, he's about average over 82 games a this point probably tho def very good when he dials it in

dialed it in for prob 10mins this season the rest he took off he was really exceptionally bad, its not a coincidence the cavs were also insanely bad

yeah we are in general agreement that his defense is not great overall

In a vote of his peers, Dwane Casey of the Toronto Raptors has been selected as the National Basketball Coaches Association’s coach of the year for the 2017-18 season — while Brad Stevens of the Boston Celtics stunningly failed to win a single vote from fellow coaches.

Perfect timing

lol i knew it

oh wait thats the peer award still i think the real one will have the same outcome

very weird

huh, dipo?

heard rumblings of his defense being amazing this year. covington over draymond seems a little suspect to me. but fair enough, he deserves a lot of credit and dray was cruising at 80% all year.

almost surprised roberson didn't make it even tho he only played 35 games or so

dejounte!!!

al shdve been first team

ALL NBA
