Let's jump into it, man. We will be starting out with our sixth man of the year. Yeah, we're going with the white boy. Hi.
The white boy. Have you met the game? That's the white boy you talking about? He paid and that way.
That way boy is playing on the most stacked team in the league. 50. He's the tripleton. Louis, is he is he is he even a top five player on the team?
He hit 50. He's a man. He's a six man. What did you do?
He got bad. That's why he's a six man. The six the six man is usually you could say he's arguably a could be a starter. Right?
He can argue. He's not even he can't argue. You start with him. If Drew Holliday wanted to retire, they wouldn't lose a beat with paying purchase.
Right. The fact that you say that he can't beat out Drew Holliday today to be a starter. Not many players can. All the more reasonable.
I say fuck him. You know what I'm saying? I'm making no sense. I'm not saying he trash.
I'm just saying he play on the most that team. He get the biggest openings to shoot and all that shit. Whatever. Give me a Malik Beasley.
You know what I'm saying? I'm saying for Detroit shout out to be a pieces. He's been balling this year. He held it down.
They had a lot of injuries earlier this season too. So I think he deserves his flowers for that. I'm showing more of Detroit than I should. This is the last thing you want him to say about Detroit.
That's not bad. I think that's a good one. I'm not mad at that. Peyton Prichard has been playing really really well.
He's having been good and I think the point was nice. I went with Tatarone. I thought that it was a fluke and went last. But I watched him man.
He'd be out there. He'd be contributing for real for real. So I went with him as my sixth man of the year. But as opposed to Peyton Prichard.
Not for similar reasons of Nick. But to a certain degree I get what Nick is saying. But that was the time Peyton Prichard could even get on the court. You know, when Bose was there.
I know and it shows he's put in a lot of work and he actually contributes. And they trust him a little bit more. But I feel like Tatarone made more of a difference for Cleveland and more of impact on Cleveland because there is no Jason Tatum Ward. I'm in the Brown.
In the Brown. Chris Apparently it is. Everybody went with Castle. Okay.
The one thing I'm worried about the Spurs again. We don't know what the status of pop is. And on top of that that has heavily to do with what could happen in the draft as far as you know, where Cooper could end up if he chooses to come out. I don't know what the Spurs team looks like.
Can't with a new head like maybe Mike, I'm like, but I'm like, well, maybe he'll, you know, step up for this team or if they need them. But I don't know. I'm worried about the Spurs before it's our leadership, but he bought out this year. He did his thing.
I know I'm not worried. He is right. Yeah. Yeah.
The reason why I'm not worried is because the foundation of the Spurs has been set. And even if pop is not in several part of that. RC Buford moving forward will be. And I think that they have a culture.
A lot like the heat of hard-nosed coaching basketball in front of this and somebody that just got let go that I think would be a perfect shoe in there. Mike Malone, you bring him in there, you know, saying like those players and that culture is already used to a guy talking some stuff to get the best out of you. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not worried about the coaching because I think that there are guys that if they do replace pop that you can get something very similar.
But again, you know, prayers out to pop in to be recovered. Yeah. Okay. So that's the rookie of the year.
Moving on to the defensive player of the year. Let me show you I got that right in my lineup. That is next. All right.
Interesting. Interesting. Two three months. What do you got people?
What was that? Isaiah Joe from OKC, the best defender on the best defensive team. He has the best individual defensive rating in the NBA. Okay.
I got Evan Moly. He's just. He's the favorite. He is a good.
He's a good. He's a good. He's a good. Shut the night like he that you.
He's the right. He's the right. He's a good. He's a good.
He's a good. He's a good. He just he just was the best defender on the team that looked outstanding most of the year. That's what I saw from him.
That Cleveland team we talk about defense. We talk about them. So that's why I picked him. He's not the favorite though.
He is. No, I'm saying betting wise. He's betting wise. I think it's a good.
That's what I'm saying. It's a good. I thought I thought betting wise Moly had to leave. Yeah.
I went with the man. I mean I can never say his name the Thompson bro twin. I like him. He he's kind of that blue guy people used to talk about man, but you know, he really fits into his role, you know, with steals and just kind of a bit of an anchor on the team.
And yeah, man. So I went with him. I went with him. Amen.
Is it amen? You really say like amen? I mean, I mean, okay. Draymond is the leader as odds now.
Yeah, he taught himself incident. Just like he said, he said he's a great man. They want to serve you. He's on favorites.
Is that what they mean though? He's negative 450 and then he's a mobus. 350. Yes.
That means Draymond is leading catch. Warriors on the 18 to five run. That's our defensive of the player of the year picks. Move on to coach of the year.
Here's the see this. Okay. All right. Not bad.
Not bad. I'm not mad at email at all. What he's been able to do with that young core. It's what he may does.
It's again a staple of what the byproduct of what the San Antonio Spurs have done and what he the legacy left in Boston and now he's bringing out that whole coaching style over there in Houston. So now I like it. I respect it. But I agree with Shelton.
Obviously JB Bicker staff, man. You tripled your wins and that's never been done in the history of the NBA. That has to be coach here. You keep saying that like they had like shitty records.
But that's the thing. I think both these teams, this was really tough for me because I see both sides of it. Like I said, what JB did with this team? Nobody expected me even thinking about the playoffs.
You think about them scraping the bottom of the barrel. But here we are talking about them as a force beating the Knicks in the first round. So you got to give it to him. Yeah.
I was talking about it. I'm going to give it to email just because he over to cheat. This is probably the greatest or one of the best years for like coaching your nominations because you can be okay for a lot of guys. But I'm going to email to lock up the number two C with Houston when a few years ago we were thinking about this as a most irrelevant team in the league just because they just after the hard and era they just were just a lottery pick team and we didn't give a fuck about him.
But yeah, he's made them very relevant. I hope they get KD in the summertime to make a win a title next season. That should be coach. That'd be coach.
Yeah, there's no wrong choice between those two. Yeah. Well, let's move on, man. We are now at the most valuable player of the year.
Who do we got? Did we do most improve? Nope. Everybody do it right now.
And that's why I can't move on because he ain't turn this in. Oh, shit. I just see it on the list. I'm not even.
I want to see it. No, I see. Since man of the year, I'm looking at the outline of the show in the notion and I just see coach of the year. I mean, most improve.
I just see most improve. Yeah. So, who's going to do with yoga? Mine should have been on the one that said it.
I've been on the one that said it. Who got it. Okay. I got a quitting.
What the fuck is that? Grims. Yeah, he's the beat for the Knicks. But he's been straight around a few times, but he seems like he found home in Philly, because he's been balling with Philly, at least as far as improving from last season and basically since this rookie season.
So now I'd hopefully keep some. And I heard about your guy, people earlier today as far as he has asked for being the best defensive player of the year to. Dyson Daniels? As a defensive player?
Yeah. He was. He's an odds. Yeah.
He's an odds. He's an odds. He's an odds. He's an odds.
He's an odds. He's an odds. He's an odds. He's an odds.
He's not gonna give more soldiers offensive sets. I think his rookie year, which was last year, he averaged like four or five points in this year. He's all the way up to almost 15 points a game. So that's that's a huge increase in NBA from your one year, too.
And then his efficiency as well. So now he's a really good all-around player in skies delivered but I don't know if his timeline aligns with Tray Young and Hawks, but that's a hold of the conversation. But Dyson Daniels is my pitcher most of proof. I got Zubok because he's average at 17 and 12.
That's that's crazy for him coming from where he came from in Nevada back up to a team that's in the playoffs. I got K because I think he made the step up too. Like, is he, well, people knew he was good. He made the step up from good to consistently good, consistently being an all-star.
I think it's a big leap for him to season. He's gone ahead of his on his back for a long time, as far as like leading that franchise to wins and playoff victories and playoff runs. Yeah, he ain't gonna have in this season, but I hear you. I got no one.
So, I'm sure you're pretty move on, and I see where I messed up, but I messed up overall all around this week. But anyway, so there you have it. So now we're finally there. MVP.
Show them. I turned mine in, I did. You must say it's not ridiculous. You gotta beat.
You gotta beat. Nice, Joker. It's shotgun to win at this year. I see there's been a late push for Joker.
I don't win. He's a new story. Like, yup, the media learn to tell the new stories. Like, he's gonna win it.
Okay, see, number one. Joker's story meant to hold before. I'm not gonna give it to him. The only thing is, the only reason I said he's gonna give it to Joker now is because he's the first center to average a triple double.
For him to get that mark, hit that mark, that's gonna mean something for him. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, he wasn't the center. I know he wasn't the center, but he did like the triple double average for a season thing.
Shay did something different this year. A brand new team, brand new faces, a brand new story to tell going into the playoffs. He's just because of how the media works. He's gonna win.
Not saying he didn't deserve it, he did, but they want a new story to him. Yeah, I definitely agree with the media narrative of Shay getting it because they love telling new stories. But I agree with Kenyon Martin when he said that, you know, when we looked 10, 15 years from now, we look at the numbers that Joker put up, are we really messing with the history of the NBA? By not giving it to somebody that has done things that have never been done before.
You know what I'm saying? So that's the main reason why for me, I'm not Kenyon swinging me at all or anything like that, but just the numbers that Joker put up, I've come on this program and talked about it. Like what Joker is doing, we've never seen done before. You know what I'm saying?
By a player at his position. And again, I take anything away from Shay is great, but what Joker is doing, we're not gonna see another guy do that. You know what I'm saying? So to me, you can't mess with the history of the game.
You gotta give it to Joker. Joker's been the better player to share my opinion. Okay. Or Memphis can't even buy a bucket right now.
Play out Jimmy going crazy, Ken. Has there issue Nick? I'm proud of the team. That's Memphis issue.
If Jaa and scoring, because Jaren Jackson is a, he's a recipient score, right? Like he's not getting his own bucket. The life's been being guy, he's a recipient score. He's not a get your bucket score.
Jaa's the only one. And that's the issue. When it comes to the playoffs, you need guys that can go get buckets. And they don't have enough of them.
Man, I agree with you people. This won't bang. Like they ain't gotta be a better scorer on his own. And like he's just a spot up dude.
If I'm paying you this much money, bro, I need you to get buckets right now. Like when Jaa's on the bench, and they going on the run and he can't, he can't like I've been watching him, he didn't shit. So he's shipping for I was gonna say, um, yeah, JJ Triple J ain't got no post game. Like, he's an elite defensive player.
I wouldn't put the blame on him. Bane is like, bro, catch the shoe making that much money? Like, no, bro, you gotta put the bottle on the floor. It makes something happen.
It's still early though. It's on the first quarter. But like it's getting ugly right now. I'm not saying this particular player, but this type of player is what they need.
They need to call George type player. Six, eight, prototypical NBA size can get his own bucket, can play off the ball when Jaa's on the court and give them the ball and go get buckets, can guard multiple. That's what they're missing. They get a guy like that.
Memphis is a title contender, but they don't have it. So go to state wins. They'll face Houston. Whoever wins this game face Houston.
That's the best route to doing anything. It's a little bit. All right, well, they can knock that out by, hey, shit, you already know Ken, I'll move for email all the way. That's good.
All right, well, that is, that doesn't, man. Those are our individuals.
