I’m not talking about you or anyone here so why does it matter, sir? Lol

Kinda surprised Ime Udoka didn’t receive any coach of the year votes and Willie Green did. Wonder if a sub 40 win coach has ever revived votes for coach of the year.

Congrats to Monty Williams, thought any of he, Jenkins, Udoka, and maybe Lue given their injuries had a shot at winning.

Boban tends to dominate PER, it's weird

Smart has won the award. https://twitter.com/blaetcherreport/...sprB0IcAA&s=19

He's been playing amazing defense for a minute.

Smart has been a problem on that end for a minute now, but there is a reason guards don't typically win. Bigs effect everything on the court, control most of the defensive boards, are the last line of defense for their team defense, add to that a guy like Giannis who does that but also switches most positions.. It's hard for me to pick anybody over him or Gobert this season. Look at Utah's defense in those games Gobert missed.. I'm happy Smart is getting recognition he definitely deserves, he should be the guard on the defensive first team, but Robert Williams was their probably their biggest defensive weapon most of this season.

Jeebs got bamboozled as usual.

Yea I'd say Smart is a good choice if he does get it. Been a minute since a guard has won anyway, maybe this will quiet down the "DPOY is just best rim protector" crowd that's been yelling for what seems to be the last 10 years

Rudy and especially Dray didn't play enough games, I probably would've leaned Giannis this year but I get it

It's a fake account (and, ya know, obviously...the awards aren't officially being handed out for another couple months right?)

But it does look like Smart will likely win based on the votes that have been reported so far. He has nearly twice as many votes as Mikal Bridges, who is the #2 guy.
