You are being warned now, only read this if you actually care about my opinions of the NBA. If not, don't read. Don't complain to me later either, that what this warning is for.
Well, the NBA season wrapped up last night. Playoffs are set. I'll predict a little later. My award picks:
Rookie of the Year: Chris Paul, PG, NO/OKC -If you think anyone else deserves it, you haven't watched basketball all year. And you are a moron.
Most Improved Player: Boris Diaw, UTIL, PHX- Well, I guess technically, this should just go to Steve Nash. No way is this guy that good without him. Went from being a random dude on the Hawks to random dude who got a triple double. Weird. By the way, I refuse to give this award to good players (ala Tony Parker, Lebron James, or someone who is already really really good). The simple fact is that good players are supposed to be good and get better. Giving them an award for doing that doesn't make sense. Giving the award to a guy who goes from being a random guy on the team to a solid contributor is what this award is all about. Congrats Boris!
Coach of the Year: Flip Saunders, Det- I hate saying this because I hate
Sixth Man of the Year: Alonzo Morning, Mia-The idea behind the award is someone who comes off the bench and changes the game for his team. No one, I mean no one did that more than 'Zo did this year. There was many a time when the Heat played better (because of their D) with Zo in the game than they did with Shaq in the game. Mike Miller probably ends up getting the real award however.
Defensive Player of the Year: Andrei Kirilenko
Most Valuable Player:

I thank you for your thoughts and for posting
Blessings be upon you, your children, and your childrens children to the third and fourth generation.
(I almost typed out a truly Mosaic blessing but decided that a basketball post - although worthy- was not worthy enough. I hope that doesn't offend you.)
I'll give you your picks for awards. I think Nash should get it but it is wide open. Dirk should also get a lot of consideration because Lamar Odom is much better than Josh Howard. I'll give you Kobe though. But I'm just not feeling Indy over Jersey. Indy has worse chemistry than Adam Sandler and Adolf Hitler if they co-starred in a comedy about Auschwitz.
Oh yeah, I totally agree about Boris... He's a strong, um, point guard?
