Basketball: N.B.A. Awards

Who do you guys think will get Coach of the Year?

I would vote for the Warriors� Eric Musselman. The Warriors will win about 22 more games this year than last year.

I cant argue there, that is quite a turnaround.

This is a great turnaround for this team. Even if they dont make the playoffs they had a great season, and this teams future looks bright if they can keep everybody during the off-season. But i think that the coach of they year should go to Don Nelson of the Mavs, they were a good team last year, but they got a lot better during the off-season they increased their defensive abilities, now this team can score alot and put points on the board, all they need to do now is beat the Kings and the Lakers.

Wow thats a great improvement by any standard. Hell the guy gets my vote.

I�m sorry, but I�m just not a believer in the Mavericks. I know Don Nelson�s done a great job but their defense to me is still suspect at best.

Greg Popovich of the Spurs gets my vote, silently they get #1 away from the Mavs.

Don Nelson no, his team is weak mentally and can't beat the big teams
Eric Musselmen I would give 2nd, although I doubt many of the Warriors will be there next year, a couple of them including Gilbert Arenas enter free agency soon.

Yeah and this was supposed to be a �rebuilding� year for the Spurs too and look where they are at now.

The Spurs end up somehow finding talents that nowbody else can find. Parker is having a great season. And Duncan is most likely going to be the MVP again, The Spurs have a great chance of winning the whole thing. Ginobili is playing outstanding and this team has experience and youth round up into one package.

Congratulations to Gilbert Arenas on winning the Most Improved Player Award yesterday.

And congratulations to Gregg Popovich for winning the Coach of the Year Award the other day.

I think both of them definately deserved to win those awards

I just heard on Sportscenter that Tim Duncan will reportedly be presented his MVP award later this week.

Congratulations to him, but just how much longer will Shaquille O'Neal continue to be ignored? Honestly, many would argue that 3 of the last 4 years he should have been MVP, even on a mediocre season.

Perhaps MVP voting should be held at the end of the conference finals, to give a chance for MVP candidates to actually prove that they can demonstrate their worth when it REALLY matters, during the playoffs? Or not, because it would be unfair to candidates who didnt have as many games to show how good they were? The last two years Tim Duncan has been annihlated by Shaq and the Lakers during the playoffs, and unless this year is different, I think the MVP is really a worthless award in my mind. It's supposed to go to the most valuable player correct? And bear in mind Tim Duncan has a much deeper team around him this time around.

What does everyone else think?

What do I think?

I think Shaq should get the M.V.P. Award every year.

And I think every N.B.A. awards' voting should be done after the postseason has finished.

I thought that KG should have won the award, he has done more work every night than Tim Duncan. Iam not trying to take any thing away from timmy. But KG does not get that much help like Timmy does. KG definatly should have won that award.

Peja Stojakovic with a career high 41 points tonight in a win over Memphis.

I think he should get MVP consideration with the season he's had so far.

given that who knows where the Kings would be thus far without him (and that the King's dont have Weber) I' d say yeah. But just consideration. Not actually winning it.

I wouldn't mind if he won it.

I wouldn't mind if he didn't win it. If Kevin Garnett or Tim Duncan won it instead.

What about Terry Porter??? He took a team that was suppose to win less than 25 games and has them at 22-17 with more than half the year to go. :tum:

so far wilkins has won his first game.....mvp so far is KG look at how well his team is playing right now and he finally has the supporting cast to help him out.

still hard to say Duncan looks great as always but other players have steped there game up[ big time

who is the N.B.A's mvp for the first half?

Tim Duncan
Kevin Garrnet
Peja Stojakovic
Jermaine O'Neal
