The finalists for the major NBA year-end awards will be announced at 6:30pm ET on TNT.

MVP
DPOY
ROY
COY
MIP
6th man
Clutch player

(The voting has already been done. The "finalists" announced tonight are the top 3 vote getters in each category.)

Figured I'd give everyone a heads up and make a thread where y'all can discuss the awards and finalists if you'd like. And or make predictions. Cheers.

The awards are pretty poorly kept secrets these days. With the internet as it is, they should announce faster.

Enough tallied here to get an idea who is winning what. Only a couple close calls that can’t be fully determined from this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1KMzwRcilLDej0BWl7eYE_OYC9Tx9olI_Ptn-nHjKfpQ/htmlview

Monk has a strong case for 6th man.

Tatum getting snubbed for 1st team would be wild.

These look pretty accurate to me based on what I've seen this year. I give the NBA credit with the 65 game rule. It definitely makes it easier to delineate who is the best "all" season.

The whole Award Finalists thing is so pointless. Most of the time we already know who's winning each award, and if we don't it's pretty much always down to two players. There's always at least one player in the Final 3 who everyone knows isn't winning.

I get they did it to generate engagement, like with most things, but I doubt it's even doing that.

If Doc started the season with Milwaukee and went 17-19 just as he has, then Griffin took over and went 31-13, just as he did, with all other circumstances remaining the same except for timing, Griffin might be the frontrunner for Coach of the Year.

We expecting anyone to steal a ROY from Wemby? Or is everyone scared to vote against the grain now that it’s all published?

All I care about is whether Brunson gets all nba first team or not.

I know Jokic already won MVP.

Any vote that is not Wemby for ROY would be a travesty.

Chet had a case when Wemby struggled a bit early but Wemby turned things around and now its not close.

Agree, I’m sharpening my pitchfork just in case

Spoiler:
So it looks like MIP will be close between White and Maxey, and 6th man should be close for Reid and Monk

The all-NBA teams look like this:

1st team
Jokic
Doncic
Shai
Giannis
Brunson/Tatum

2nd team
Brunson/Tatum
Anthony Davis
Ant
Kawhi
Durant

3rd team
Lebron
Curry

And then the last 3 spots will come down to Haliburton, Sabonis, Booker, Brown and Paul George.

I'd like to see Sabonis make the all-NBA team after being snubbed from the all-star game.

Yeah, just another example of Silver drawing things out for the sake of drawing them out to manufacture some fake interest/hype. Just like him extending the draft out to two days.

How is Mazzulla not even a finalist?

Probably because the perception is that all he has to do is roll the balls out, and let his team play.

Now that I think about it SGA should be MVP.

I don't think anybody predicted the Thunder to be a top 3 team in the West. I had them as a play in team before the season. For a team that young to be the #2 seed in a tough Western conference is impressive.

SGA is my MVP.

No one on the Celtics is getting credit for anything and we just have to like it, apparently.
