My predictions: MVP: James MIP: Durant (if Brooks wins this award, I will be happy too.) 6th man:Crawford RoY:Evans CoY: Skiles (Bucks coach) DPoY: Howard
here's mine: MVP: James MIP: Brooks 6th man:Crawford RoY:Evans CoY: Brooks (Thunder coach) DPoY: Howard
All your picks are shoe ins to win except for Durant winning MIP. The Most Improved Player is for overachievers, ppl who weren't expected to be as good as they were. Durant is an MVP candidate, already avged 25 pts last year, and won ROY as a freshman. A rookie of the year will never win the MIP. So I'll go with Brooks for MIP. And for COY, if the Bucks get sweeped in the playoffs, I highly doubt Skiles will win. I'll pick Alvin Gentry for COY as the Suns have defied expectation all season; a strong playoff performance will clinch it for him.
I could see it going down like this MVP-Lebron MIP- Durant 6th- crawford ROY- evens DPOY- lebron nba loves their stars
As daeyeth pointed out, a guy who averaged 25 ppg last year isn't going to win the MIP award. And as hyped as Lebron is, nobody is more overhyped on the defensive side of the ball than DH, so he will win the DPOY. I agree with your other picks, though. I would like to see Scott Brooks win Coach of the Year.
MVP= Lebron MIP= Durant (more popular than Brooks) 6th= Crawford ROY= Evans (Has the better overall numbers which will give him the title) DPOY= Gerald Wallece (best defensive player, on best defensive team)
MVP-LeBron MIP-Brooks 6th man-Landry ( If he doesn't qualify, then Crawford) ROY-Jennings DPOY-Hayes ( Yes, I'm a homer)
Does Landry still qualify for the 6th man award? I think he started less games than he was on the bench. I dunno, but he played more games with the Rockets than the Kings.
I agree with everyone that says Crawford is the best sixth man ... ... in fact, Joey Crawford has been the best Lakers sixth man for years!
MVP: James MIP: Brooks DPOY: Howard or James (should probably be Howard) ROY: Evans or Curry COY: Skiles Tho if it were my way: MVP: Yao (who is more valuable than him?) MIP: Brooks DPOY: Battier ROY: Hill COY: Adelman
MVP - LeBron James COY - Scott Skiles ROY - Tyreke Evans 6th Man - Jamal Crawford MIP - Russell Westbrook DPOY - Dwight Howard
MVP - LeBron James COY - LeBron James ROY - Tyreke Evans 6th Man - Jamal Crawford MIP - Kevin Durant DPOY - LeBron James
