[The Q]

I’m here for fans of all teams getting in on the embiid hate

 

[Retroram52]

I am not quite sure what Nico is trying to do here but if it is CYA, he is doing a not-so-good job of it. What? Is that not a component of your job as GM to know the value and influence of each of your players? Somebody effed-up here and now somebody is trying to find a Mea Culpa somehwere, anywhere!

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison admits he didn't realize how important Luka Dončić was to fan base

The Mavericks' general manager acknowledged that an arena full of fans chanting for his firing was impossible to ignore.

Shaq's at that age where you can't trust a fart.

Not sure Jimmy and Embiid belong on the list.

I wonder if Embiid is about games missed? Because when he is healthy and playing, he doesn't seem overrated to me.

This is a hate list clearly lol

What’s my agenda?

It's the players...wait, it's the coaches....MJ does nothing wrong....Lebron does nothing right.

You can pick.

Game 1 is a little dangerous- Mitchell has not played in over 2 weeks - now CAvs do have the rest and Miami just played 2 games. Just hope the talent carries them. Id rather have played the Hawks tbh--- Herro's size is a little bit of a tough matchup- and Bam and Mobley kind of cancel eachother out. Garland needs to cook. Allen needs to show that his past soft playoff performances are behind him.

Overall I think the Cavs talent advantage is substantial in this series- and the Cavs bench depth is an advantage.

I am guessing Hunter comes off the bench...

having Hunter, Ty Jerome, Okoro, Wade, off the bench makes for maybe the best bench in the league or close to it.

Granted I'm in after game 1 but seems for Miami to have a shot Bam and Herro will need to go off (and they could) and likely get more performances like Miami Mitchell gave them from him or someone else.

Think allen already proved his one bad playoff performance (really just a few games) are behind him. He was best player on court in Orlando series until his freak injury.

surprised Jerome makes it in 6th MOY but not MIP.

Embiid is games related and Jimmy is regular season effort related. That and malcontent related.

How is Daigneault not on the coaches list at least? What a joke. Dort should be on DPOY list as well.

Because as good as his team has been went from 1 seed to...1 seed? the 3 finalist's teams showed big time improvement and not close to expected to finish where they did?

Not that Daigneault should not have been under consideration.

 

[dtgold88]

Lmao ok. 68 wins,multiple records, lead the league in every defensive hustle stat. There are like 8 of them. Anyone ever been able to get a team to do that? I mean like ever? No. Coach of the year even more than last year.

he went from the 1 seed....to the 1 seed. Won it last year when his team played well above expectations.

I understand those thoughts, but it was a historic season and leading the league in literally every defensive hustle category is pretty remarkable. These awards are nuts though, it is what it is.

 

[dtgold88]

I don’t think it’s biased at all honestly. Just stating facts.

did you wonder why Mazzulo did not win it last year over Daigneault?

 

[dtgold88]

Actually, it's prolly a tossup between those 2.

I'd say strong case could be made for any of the 3. Have a feeling Atkinson wins....but could also make a case he should be 3rd among them.

But by your "logic" wasn't Mazzulo as or more deserving last season than the winner?
