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

Shai went 4-13 and his team still won by 50, not my mvp it is what it is

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...

It's from 2023 and named after Jerry West

Honest question: why JB over Atkinson, who solved JB's problems in Cleveland?

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.
