SixStringAxis · Post #8 » by **SixStringAxis** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:35 am

Who will win MVP? Lebron

COY? Nate Mcmillan

ROY? Beasley

Exec of Year? The guy for the 76ers?

DPOY? It honestly could be Lebron. The guy had the highest 4th quarter scoring average in like 15 years and I would honestly say for atleast half the year he was just as good in the clutch defensively, every other night he was winning the game with plays on both ends of the floor. If the Cavs are healthy he should have the energy to do it all season and all game. I like Dwight Howard also.

6th man? Ginobli

Which team will surprise the most? Knicks, that doesnt mean they will have a great seed though

Which team will regress the most? Atlanta

West Seeds:

1 - Lakers
2 - Spurs
3 - Suns

2 - Cavs
3 - 76ers
4 - Orlando
5 - Detroit
6 - Wizards
7 - Toronto
8- Knicks

Who will win the West? Suns

East? Cavs

Finals Winner? Finals MVP? Cavs, Lebron

^^

Your west bracket is awful and can't be possible, the Jazz and Portland can't be the 7th and 8th seed if Denvers not in the playoffs.

The winner of the divison is an auto-atleast 4th seed

Why the hell do people keep putting Oden as ROY ya'll do understand that stands for ROOKIE of the year right. Last time I checked Oden is only a rookie when it comes to playing time he's been in the league for a year already.

He didn't play 1 second in the NBA regular season last year.

He's still a rookie.

He can't be considered for rookie of the year. He has been on an NBA roster for one full calender year. He is no longer a rookie. In playing time he is, but he's no eligble for that award so theres no point in putting his name on there.

They've talked about on ESPN, he's eligible.
