I'm glad Lou won 6th man this year. Well deserved.

It would've been kind of dumb if the award was given to the guy who was the Celtics starting PG post trade deadline.

i kinda dislike any success he has.. kind of affirms his chucking ways and he sticks to it.. i really hate his shake, dribble to the left and shoot.. if he makes it, it affirms him that it's a good shot when it really isnt.. i think that shot is a really low percentage shot.. i dont mind him driving to the basket but if only he'd do that more often... but good to see the raptors having players winning some individual awards nonetheless...

Except for the fact that Thomas comes off the bench in Boston as well.

IT started 1 game all season, 0 with the Celtics.

Other than that you make an compelling argument....

This is a terrible mistake. I thought when The Starters picked him, that was just their Canada pride at the forefront of their opinions, apparently I was wrong.

I know NBA media is crap and never give good players credit, but I don't remember seeing or hearing Lou do anything off bench. I don't care for Warriors but Iggy deserved it more. I mean 49 wins is nice, they are a top 4 seed in East. I don't really care. Good Job.

I changed my mind, I care. I am gonna LAUGH MY BUTT OFF, when Raptors go out in 1, and Iggy or Jamal Crawford hit big shots to get their teams into the 2nd round.

It is same thing with MVP, you gonna vote for someone going out in Round 1?

Lou's been an underrated scorer for years. Well deserved.

Don't remember Lou doing anything?

He dropped 36 pts in a W against the Cavs, and had a ton of clutch shot including some game winners. In games which he lead the raps in scoring, we went like 15-3 or something.

Are you mentally ill?? MVP and 6 man are regular season awards, not playoffs dumazz. And raps are going to beat the Wiz book it.

Enjoy the lottery for your Jazz, though.

Best part of this for Lou? He gets to celebrate with not 1, but 2 girlfriends

You mad? Jazz can't get their sht together, you must be mad. Been in the league since 1974 and haven't got a single title.. Must suck being a Jazz fan. Frustrating, I'd imagine.

Andre Iguodala's numbers have dropped since joining GSW. He's averaging even lower numbers this season. How do you figure him to be 6th man of the year? I understand why you mentioned Jamal Crawford, although he's been injured for most of the season.

Since you really care so much for how the Raptors do in the playoffs. That must mean, you're really pissed off that the Jazz couldn't make it in the postseason.

i dont know what games you were watching.. yes, when he leads the raps in scoring, raps have a good percentage. but when he doesnt hit his shots, he doesnt do other things to make him effective.. he still shoots them.. yes i acknowledge, a shooter's gonna shoot.. but honestly, when you're building a house on the court, need to move the ball around a little bit.. i cringe every time he does a pull up 3... i m ok with him taking an open 3 from a catch and shoot.. but really hate his stupid fading left move.. there was another article about end of quarter/end of game shots following that stupid shot at the end of that pistons game.. lou shoots 80% of the end of game/quarter shots but makes only 28% of them.. that's why him hitting those shots give him a bad perception that it's a good shot when it really isnt.. please dont fall in love with lou as a raptors fan.. i question his decision making skills. he may have cost us more games with poor possessions than his "clutch" shots

The Award should have gone to the entire Warriors Bench.

But for real, I'm happy for Lou. To come back from injury and play at his level is fantastic!
