Make Love the MVP for me. Can't argue with his numbers and I'm sure that if it had been Kevin who went out with injury instead of Ricardo our record wouldn't have been so much better. A huge reason why this team sucked so badly the last few weeks was mostly mental.

The rest of the list is pretty spot on, though. Nice job! Although I'm torn on the Most Unbelievable Play. I loved the play but I liked Ricardo's behind the back on that broken play against Houston a tad better as the Most Unbelievable Play. It was completely unexpected to me, or anyone else, most likely.

Pek probably doesn't need to be reprimanded by John Goodman either.

As for player awards, I agree with every selection Klomp made.
