For Sunday night's Mavericks/Blazers pregame show, our young producer Cody Winstead assigned Bill Jones and I a task: pick our NBA MVP, Mavs MVP, 6th Man of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and our Finals prediction.
Bill and I didn't discuss our picks at all but they were almost identical, except for one. So without further ado, here you go:
NBA MVP
Bill: Derrick Rose
Gina: Derrick Rose
Mavs MVP
Bill: Dirk Nowitzki
Gina: Dirk Nowitzki
6th Man of the Year
Bill: Lamar Odom
Gina: Lamar Odom
Rookie of the Year
Bill: Blake Griffin
Gina: Blake Griffin
(this vote should be unanimous, league-wide, IMO)
Coach of the Year
Bill: Doug Collins
Gina: Tom Thibodeau
Bill liked the turnaround Collins has done with a 27-win team (currently 40 wins) that doesn't have real superstar players. I liked what Thibodeau has done with a young 41-win team (currently 56 wins) that dealt with injuries well and is playing good defense.
Finals Prediction
Bill: Lakers over Bulls in 6
Gina: Lakers over Bulls in 5
Bill just couldn't pick the Heat. I kind of agree with him.
What do you think? Agree/disagree? Who's getting your postseason hardware?
