    NBA awards finalists (give us your predictions!)

    MVP Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets

    Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers

    Coach of the Year Kenny Atkinson, Cleveland Cavaliers

    Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs

    Most Improved Player can’t say between Daniels and Zubac

    Sixth Man of the Year

    • Ty Jerome, Cleveland Cavaliers

    Clutch Player of the Year actually none of three

    Those are actually the names I’d love to see but I fear SGA will be mvp just for vote fatigue, Mobley will be left out and Pritchard will win because of his point prowess, that’s just one of the perks of Jerome

    When was the Clutch player of the year introduced? Am I getting senile? Maybe this has been around a long time and I just thought it was an informal title, not an actual award…

        mainly because i’m a pistons fan lmao. 30 wins above last season is nothing to scoff at either. i honestly think it’s a toss up though.
