edit:that was almost a week ago, odds mighta changed now

edit2: nice save by Gasol. In close games like this at the end I am more scared of Durant than any other player in this series so Memphis has to play tough.

edit3:Durant should have gone TO there...

This is why you don't play Perkins. Grizz are just going to ignore him.

He did it because he knew if he went for the layup he might have missed.

I would be surprised. Maybe if they win next game? But even then I doubt it.

It's like a team from the early 2000's, except instead of shooting 40% Durant shoots 50+.

durants also too well mannered

yeah what's up with perkins forreal? I really don't see much value in him as a player.

So slow and bulky, offers nothing really on the offensive end. The argument I "used" to hear from a lot of people was that he plays really good D. I still don't see anything spectacular on that end either.

Bench him!

It seemed like perkins has devolved. Or maybe he just doesn't fit in as well in OKC. I remember when the Celtics traded him, I thought it was a mistake to get rid of him but keep Glen Davis, because his defense seemed so good at Boston. But my god are his hands awful.

Also, George Karl won coach of the year. They talked a bit about him on the last bill simmons podcast, saying he seems to be great at developing a system over the course of a season, but doesn't seem able to make per-game adjustments that become necessary in a bo7 series.

"The warrior" is that a real nickname?

And if it is it isn't very apt for a player who has more physical gifts than any player in NBA history. More like "The Hulk"

That is tiger woods. Seriously, he never has made a Sunday comeback in a major.

Lol, Karl ended up winning CotY, pretty ironic. He was looking good during the season, but he was bad in the playoffs. Thib deserved it way more taking his group of paraplegics into the second round.

Probably, but then you have to consider that his minutes allocation might have led to some of the injuries, plus he didn't change up much this year, his system is the same but continues to be effective. Karl did some very good things this year. I think his playoff run did hurt him a bit but then again I would argue Gallinari is probably the most important player in his rotation, plus Lawson/Faried being injured didn't help either. I would be concerned however with the lack of improvement among several members of his team, considering that a lot of them are young so development is important. Javale continues to be retarded on D, for example.

Still, CoTY is a regular season award so I wouldn't say that him being selected is wrong. I'd also go with Woodson/Popp/Thibs.
Saw Spo got 2nd. Wouldn't have been my choice but not a bad one either.
