    Man the Knicks pulled a Reggie Miller of their own. And the nuggets rallying with a Jamal buzzer beater for game was insane.

  4. @kgonthenba

    Taking my chance, MVP: Jokic ROTY: Wemby 6MOY: Malik Monk
    MIP: Tyrese Maxey DPOY: Gobert CPOY: Curry COTY: Mark Daignealt

    The breakdowns are too good for covering the entire playoff pool at a national level. Well done guys.

  9. @gdevitta

    I love Steve’s energy, he just makes the world a great place to be, even ir you are a sixers fan

  10. @ssjj005

    Thank you!!!!! Milwaukee Bucks-Indiana Pacers analysis was very fun to lestining to!

  11. @MillzTheAthlete

    I love watching the Knicks play. They are scrappy af. Mitch, when healthy, is a dpoy level rim protector. And if Josh and the others are gonna start hitting 3s, Knicks will get to the conference final.

    Like the wolves game plan of letting kd cook while slowing down the others . Kd getting his regardless so best to put your best defenders on guys you can slow down instead of wasting them on a guy who will score no matter how good of defense you play . Sun's will likely bounce back but if wolves continue to play elite defense while getting contributions from your bench like they did game 1 & they have a great chance to go up 2-0

    The only gripe I have in the awards is Joe not being in the top 3 COTY, winning 64 games ahead of everybody and not even in the consideration lmao

  21. @dariusdina8561

    It sucks because you can tell with Haliburton it’s almost completely mental. He had the same coverage from Beverly a couple times this season and he destroyed him. Now he hasn’t been aggressive and even his decision making has been off. I’m hoping he learns how to become “the guy” during this playoff run and figures out whatever has been holding him down 55:54

  24. @ThunderPhant

  26. @koyanagi___

    MIP: Tyrese Maxey

    6-man: Naz Reid

    Clutch: Demar Derozan

    Coach: (i WANT chris finch but im expecting–) Mark Daigneault

  27. @lolalucky89

    The reason for the days in between for Celtics/Miami is because of the Bruins. Since the Bruins are a one-seed and are hosting as well it's also based on the NHL playoffs and their schedule since they have to share the Garden

  29. @crazyphero

    Most Improved – Maxey
    6th Man – Naz Reid
    Clutch – shai
    Coach – Jamaal Mosely
    Rookie – Wemby
    Defensive – Wemby
    MVP – Jokic

  30. @nflinabnit

    let me give this a shot

    MVP – Jokic
    ROTY – Wemby
    DPOY – Rudy
    6MAN – Naz
    MIP – Maxey
    CPOTY – Curry
    COTY – Daigneault

  32. @rudimerm7686

    JJ, pay attention to what Jamal Murray did on his last 2 clutch shots. He went full speed right and pulled up on the second to last shot. He went full speed right into baseline fadeaway. On both shots, Murray square in mid air. These moves and movements were standard in MJs game. This is why Lebron is not the GOAT; he choked; he flops; his movement does not compare to MJ; he has no bag.

  33. @nathansharpe6065

    If I had a ballot I'd vote: Jokic for MVP, Gobert for DPOY, Wemby ROTY, Coby White for most improved, Daigneault for COTY, Malik Monk for 6th man, and Steph for clutch player

  38. @rolitshindane5742

    KD. Greatest scorer ever but… people will obviously disagree, he's not enough of a modern scorer. Doesn't shoot enough threes and doesn't get enough free throws for today's NBA. 31 points on 15 shots is amazing but is it as impactful as the 30 points u get from Ant fro example, when most of it comes from threes? Idk

  39. @knownasbd

    MVP – Jokic
    DPOY – Gobert
    MIP – Maxey
    CPOTY – Curry
    6MOTY – Malik Monk
    COTY – Daigneault
    ROTY – Wemby
