NBA Award Selections

On another blog, I gave my selections for the NBA MVP Award, and today it is time to take a look at some of the other awards.

Most Improved Player: Aaron Brooks, Houston Rockets
With Yao Ming out for the year, it was expected the Rockets would take a step back. They did, but not a huge one, as they still finished above .500. This was due in large part to Aaron Brooks... I'm not sure a ton was expected of him out of college, as he seemed to be a small point guard with shooting guard skills. He has become a very good starter, averaging almost 20 PPG and over 5 assists per game this year. The Rockets know their stuff.

6th Man of the Year: Jamal Crawford, Atlanta Hawks
He is the best bench scorer in the NBA, and seems to often have the ball in his hands late in the game. He still takes a lot of ill-advised shots, but he is a great sparkplug for Atlanta, and they will need him to come up big if they are going to have any chance in the postseason.

Coach of the Year: Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder
He took the youngest team in the NBA and has brought them to the playoffs (where they will take on the Lakers). He has done great work meshing in all of the young talent and getting them to play together.

Rookie of the Year: Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings
There are still legitimate concerns about whether or not Evans will be a great PG, but there are no doubts about his ability to be a big-time, impact player. He can get anywhere on the floor, and is great scorer, averaging over 20 per game as a rookie. Also, on a bad team he had almost 6 assists per game and over 5 rebounds. He is the complete package at the guard spot, and looks poised to be someone the Kings can build around.

What are your picks?

Good insights into NBA. I write a blog for my students and am encouraging them to both write and read other people's blogs about subjects that interest them. As an inner-city teacher in Chicago, basketball is huge. I like what you have say, and will pass your blog along to them.

I must say that I cannot argue with any of your selections. But,I must be a little bias and pick my boy Stephen Curry as rookie of the year. He torched at the end of the season. But Tyreke Evans was very consistent throughout. It's very obvious that you know exactly what you speak of. We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions over at our blog. Thanks! http://personal-petpeeves.blogspot.com/

Generally a Moncler Jackets for women is so comfortable because of the material that it is made of. Cotton is always good and gives a nice soft feeling. For something a little rougher, with a nice texture, there is silk. They feel good but don’t have as much give as other materials. They don’t look as good printed either because of the rough texture. Cotton mixed with bamboo will give a great fit as well as a nice feeling. This mix will hold an imprint very well and the texture can be compared to silk.
Usually, we should think about how to low down the cost to save money, and choose which is going on faddish. One simple solution over this is to choose some special Moncler men jackets that go well for any occasion. Down jacket and coat give the nice look in any occasion.


Personally, I prefer a Moncler shop online
that doesn’t advertise itself as such, largely because I prefer to engage with winter only theoretically. I love cold weather; I just dislike participating in activities that require cold weather. I am at no risk of getting caught underdressed in Gstaad, or on Hunter Mountain, or even in a steep bit of Riverside Park.
The Moncler Jackets for women , long the preserve of skiers (the company was founded in 1952), began appearing on fashionable hip-hop crowds a few years ago, widening the company’s reach beyond specialty shoppers. Moncler men jackets come in a slate of bold and sometimes disquieting colors, often shiny, and, for winter wear, are relatively slimming.

Gyllenhaal and Swift Omega Seamaster started the rumor mill churning with whispers of their romance back in Coach Outlet October, when they both showed up to support pal Emma Stone when she hosted "Saturday Night Live." After that, the lovebirds were spotted together in Brooklyn then laughing and getting power balance ice cream sundaes in Big Sur, California.
