These defensive team awards stay being a joke
How does the NBA DPOY get voted to the All NBA Defensive 2nd TEAM?
- Thread starter NYC Rebel
- Start date
WESTBROOK BEEN GETTING BY ON REP FOR YEARS,
BUT I HARDLY EVER SEE HIM LOCKING ANYBODY UP.
BRADLEY LOCKS UP JAMEER,
AND nikkaS GONNA ACT LIKE HE DID THAT shyt ALL SEASON.
he didn't just lock Jason Terry who was destroying harden for a entire series?
Eh, looking at the 1st and 2nd team, coaches weren't much better and while I agree NYC media exposure helps I don't think its some kind of outrage Chandler got DPOY, who did you have?
By the way Dallas' defense was actually better this year w/o Chandler while NY went from bottom of the pack to top 10 this year. Of course I imagine Shrump had a lot to do with that as well.

Here's the thing though, Lebron, who I thought should have won DPOY, got the most 1st place votes for the All defensive team.
Honestly, all pro teams are about as good as it gets in sports. I saw MLB David Harris of the Jets NOT get invited to the Pro Bowl but made All-Pro 2nd team.
I can only complain but so much.

Guarding 4 positions? That's an extremely misleading way of saying he plays a free safety style one man zone. If the Lakers want a guy locked up on the perimeter, they don't look Kobe's way.

Yeah, I would've gone with Lebron as well, don't really have a problem with Chandler getting it though. Generally the coaches do make better decisions.

It seemed like some sports writers/analysts didn't vote Dwight Defensive Player of the year because of his injury, yet they turn around and vote him over Tyson for NBA first team?......... Well, I'm assuming that most of the voters are the same for both the defensive teams and the award, but I'm not sure if that's the case actually.
this, look up what Howard and Bynum did against the Knicks this year and the Knicks rarely double teamed.
REMINDS ME OF THE TIMES ROSE USED TO TORCH RUSS IN THE 1ST QUARTER,
THEN THEYLL PUT THABO ON ROSE FOR THE REST OF THE GAME.
Well them times are over now
People wanna compare new yorks defense to last years but they ignore the difference in pace from this year to last year. Tyson was overrated
Thabo, afflalo and Shumpert need some recognition

player awards need to be decided like bcs championships
coaches poll
ap poll
bcs standings (you know actual stats/analysis/calculations of players play on the court)

The difference in pace was 2 less possessions/100 this year and that doesn't account for the drop in fg%.
