http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AmgWdG3jhJl4h3zqHuKmTDS8vLYF?slug=ap-sixthmanaward Well deserved in my opinion, no surprise either. Good job to Jamal, the leader of succesful 4 points plays.
Its fair. Its the "who scores the most points" award, while the MIP is the "who improved the most points award". If Brooks got the benefit of it then so should Crawford.
That makes sense though. The definition of sixth man is the first guy off the bench, not the guy that plays the sixth most minutes on the team. And usually the job of the sixth man is to provide scoring, so the most successful guy at doing so should get the award.
I'm still shocked that he couldn't fit in Nellie's system. A guy stright from thee YMCA can fit in Nellie's system. Maybe it was the behind the scene stuff we don't know about.
He didn't play the whole season off the bench therefore disqualifying him from contention. It was a shame that he had to go to the Kings and start but sometimes you have to trade talent to get talent.
stop hating on you boy jamal crawford, the dude plays hard every night that is why the hawks improved much more this year to 50 wins from last year's 47 wins
You can still win the award even if you started some games. The only condition is you must come off the bench more games than you start. What really torpedoed is chances is getting shipped to the Tyreke Evans offense. You'd think that with a finisher of his caliber Tyreke would feed him every single possession....but oh well...
you can be starter for some games, to qualify to the award the only condition is: you must come off the bench more games than you start. And is nice to see Lowry gettting a vote
No he wouldn't have. He would have finished second if we had not traded him. Jamal Crawford would still have gotten more votes for scoring slightly more and playing on a playoff team that gets more attention.
