Your post-season awards

Who I think should win:
MVP: Paul
ROY: Horford
COY: Cheeks
DPOY: Battier
6th Man: David Lee
MIP: Hedo Turkoglu

 

MVP: Chris Paul
ROY: I really think Luis deserves it but I will be happy if it goes to Durant.
COY: Hopefully Aldeman but knowing the NBA it will go to Byron Scott
MIP: Hedo Turkogulu
6th Man: Manu Ginoboli
DPOY: Shane Battier

 

Most Valuable Player: Kobe Bryant (I think he's the best player in the game, his team is #1 in the West, and he didn't miss a single game)

Coach of the Year: Rick Adelman (I think winning with major injuries takes a great coach, and winning 22 in a row with major injuries --and 3 rookies-- takes the best coach)

Defensive Player of the Year: Kevin Garnett (he is the most versatile defender in the game, and he's brought an intensity to the Boston Celtics that vaulted them to #1 in defense)

Rookie of the Year: Kevin Durant (he has work to do, but no other rookie was given the keys to the bus like he was. I would argue Scola if he had started from the get go)

Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobili (this is a no-brainer to me)

Most Improved Player: Chris Paul (aside from his rebounding, every single stat is better this year AND he's taken a huge step in truly becoming the leader of a top tier Western Conference team. He went from "a really good second year PG" to possibly the best PG in the game)

 

MVP: Chris Paul (LeBron second, Garnett third)

COY: Rick Adelman (Byron Scott close, really close second)

ROY: Kevin Durant (He won me over with his clutch win against Denver - Scola a close second)

MIP: Rajon Rondo (Turkeyglue a close second)

6th Man: Manu Ginoboli (it pains me, because he's a starter in a reserver role, but whatever)

DPOY: Shane Battier (Garnett second)

GM: Mitch Kupchak (again pains me but he stole Gasol, or was given Gasol.. whatever!)

i am quoting this post because reasoning was given.

to me -

mvp - kobe. see above. and cp3 is not worth it.

coy - this is a doomed award. i agree it should be adelman (see above reasoning). but since whoever wins the coy often gets tossed afterwards in recent history, i'd give this award to sloan. sloan probably should've won one some long time ago; and if he wins this year he might be tossed out of utah next year and that is awesome for us.

dpoy - kg. see above.

roy - scola. scola is not really a newbie, but he technically is a rookie in the nba. the other candidates just haven't helped their teams enough and not nearly as much as scola has. (i could be wrong, but durant to me is nothing special. too early to have gotten out of ut imo.)

6th man - manu. no brainer. it might not be fair, but a no brainer nonetheless.

mip - i don't care. anyone is fine. d. howard? hedo?

 

These are my picks top to bottom as well. Thanks for saving me from having to type them myself!

 

Most Valuable Player: Kobe Bryant - 1st in the Western Conference, considered by many the best player and the best all-around player.. he has great statistics, had to deal with a lot of injuries to himself[still managed to play all 82games] and his teammates, and separated himself from Chris Paul by winning not only against them but also destroying the Spurs on his home floor.[while Chris Paul lost back to back against the Lakers and a Kings team with no Kevin Martin/Brad Miller]
Coach of the Year: Byron Scott
Defensive Player of the Year: Kevin Garnett
Rookie of the Year: Kevin Durant
6th of the Year: Manu Ginobili
Most Improved Player: Chris Paul

 

MVP--Kobe Bryant
COY--Rick A
DPOY--Josh Smith
Most Improved--Mike Dunleavy Jr
Sixth Man--Manu--Which is stupid

 

Roy Durant--He wil be a superstar...He deserves it....

 

Most Valuable Player: Kobe Bryant
Defensive Player of the Year: Kevin Garnett
Rookie of the Year: Kevin Durant
Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobili
Most Improved Player: LaMarcus Aldridge
Coach of the Year: Rick Adelman

 

Most Valuable Player: Chris Paul
Coach of the Year: Rick Adelman
Defensive Player of the Year: Shane Battier
Co-Rookies of the Year: Al Horford (a beast, who is also in the playoffs)
Sixth Man of the Year: Kyle Korver
Most Improved Player: Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Even though I KNOW Ginobili is going to receive all the credit for Sixth Man of the Year, Kyle Korver was traded to the Jazz and relinquished a lot of the pressure on Williams and Boozer. Although you guys may hate on me for this, he made a humongous difference in the Jazz's chance at getting such a high seed in the playoffs.

 

MVP - Chris Paul...did more with less than anyone.
ROY - Durant...yes, Luis contributed to a winning team, but Durant was the best rookie by far
COY - Rick Adleman - not sure how it would be anyone else.
6th Man - Ginobili...kind of a big duh. I think they don't start him just so he can win the award. He's their leading scorer.
DPOY - Battier - Garnet? He was surrounded by very good defensive players. It's much easier when all you have to do is clog the middle. Battier had to guard the opposing team's best player every night.

 

Most Valuable Player: Chris Paul
Coach of the Year: Reggie Theus
Defensive Player of the Year: Battier, Battier guards the best player on the opposing team. KG brings the overall team defense up single handedly. Their intensity is nasty. But I attribute some of that to Tom Thibodeaux so I go with Battier.
Rookie of the Year: Al Horford
Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobli
Most Improved Player: Mike Dunleavy, I took Dunleavy for bench fodder. Guys like Hedo were already good, we knew that. Guys like Gay and Aldrige are supposed to get better, its the nature of getting past your rookie year.

 

MVP - Kobe Bryant
ROY - Kevin Durant
DPOY - Shane Battier
SMOY - Manu Ginobili
MIP - Hedu Turkoglu
COY - Rick Adelman
