My predictions:

ROY - Mitchell. He’s the primary option on a playoff team in the west. Gives him a slight nod over Simmons. Also Simmons being in the league last year will he held against him by some voters.

6 Man - Lou Williams. Landslide in this one.

COY - early season favourite Stevens has faded. D’antoni is Like Belichick in the NFL in that you could give it to him every year. I’ll go with coach Casey in Toronto. Totally changed their offense with the same personnel and what he’s getting out of his young guys on the bench has been outstanding.

DPOY - Rude gobert. One of the best interior defenders ever and has played enough games at this point to win this one easily.

MIP - Oladipo. Capela would have a shot at this in any year but this one. Congrats Vic I know you worked your arse off after everyone was talking about you like you were garbage last season, well deserved.

MVP - hardwn. Should be close to unanimous. I’ll go dame 2nd, lebron 3rd, Westbrook 4th, derozan 5th.

I love kob but I saw a comparison earlier this year that his prime doesn’t compare favorably with what harden has done lately.

What was your cut off for this? Half of the season?

And I’m not touching that bait you set

trollololol

ROY: Mitchell. Love his game. Simmons will make it close.

6 Man: Sweet Lou

COY: *Stotts. If Blazers lose tomorrow, I’ll go with Casey.

DPOY: Gobert, maybe Embiid. KD should get some love.

MIP: Oladipo. He just needed to go back to the state of Indiana.

MVP: Boom

It depends on the competition really. If there’s worthy competition then the amount of games that you can miss decreases.

They have nothing in common, other than being coaches who set up systems for their players to have an easier time putting up stats.

They don’t have much common I’ll give you that other than they are the kinda coach that you could give the award to every year, the default option. His principles are responsible for 5 Of the top 15 offenses in league history. Oh and he has done it with 2 different squads. Basically every other year he has an offense that is 99+ percentile in the history of the league. Outstanding.

I feel like he’s been the best defensive player this season, but I don’t think he’ll get it with less than 60 games played. I don’t really know who else to give it to, though. I don’t really think that Draymond will win it again.

Embiid. Roberson was gonna be in the mix if not for injury.

It is not his fault he had ego driven players who were unwilling to be coached and play within his system. We see the results when he gets guys who are willing to buy in.

He’s got to have one of the best win % in league history if we toss out the years where he had knuckle head franchise players who were unwilling to buy in. Nba is a players league if you don’t have guys like James who are willing to work with the coach then the coach is SOL.

It's easier to buy in to a system when you know you could never take a team anywhere by yourself.
