HAHA funny thead.....
Looks like Chris Palmer didn't link correctly to Manu's picture.
lol some jackass hit the wrong button and picked barbosa
Because you're a racist?
Dood..is this for real? Man Manu deserves this award like he deserves these last few games off ;-)
I thought it was because he didn't play enough games off the bench he didn't qualify? Or that Barbosa played off the bench year round, while Ginobili alternated too much and that's why they didn't give it to him...
He qualified. They just hid under the lame argument that he's a fake sixth man since he would be a starter on most teams.
The only reason Manu is even a 6th man is because of Parker.
But seriously, Garnett for DPOY this year is expected, he isn't winning the MVP, so they have to give him something for that turnaround.
B/C you are racist.
Chris Palmer too.
Garnett for DPOY is a joke....
i dont get it. How can KG as DPOY be a joke? The Celtics were a joke and look at their defense now. You trying to tell me it was Ray Allen who made it alot better?
They are the best defensive team in the league.
People complain that Camby got it on one of the worst defensive teams and now they complain coz a guy on the best defensive team will probably get it.
Sometime the homer glasses need to be replaced with realism glasses. Bowen is great defensively and deserves it at some point, but not the same year that KG has turned Boston into a defensive powerhouse.
Manu is a shoe in for 6th man of the year.
Because he's not a Six man and hates the 6MOY prize?
The only reason Manu is a 6th man is because of Pop and a scoreless bench.

they only consider his numbers when he was comming from the bench or when he was starting too?
all this damn garnett love is past disgusting
He is technically the sixth man and he doesn't hate the 6MOY, he just doesn't care about it. Then again, Manu wouldn't care about winning MVP either. He's all about winning.
That doesn't mean you don't give him awards he rightfully earned. Manu should have won 6MOY last year and I still haven't met a Spurs fan who is as outraged as I am that he didn't. Leandro Barbosa over Manu when Manu was eligible for the award? Lunacy. Whether a player cares about the award shouldn't enter into the equation.
Agree. Manu should have won it last season.
In the playoffs last year he destroyed Barbosa
The 6MOY award is a stupid award anyways and I think they just need to get rid of it. It's not like it's an MVP award or one of those important awards. I hope Manu doesn't get it and he really doesn't deserve it because he's an all star caliber player and not just some bench player. Even he said he'd rather be known as an energy player off the bench and not a 6th man and that your either the best or not and that there should be no in between. I wish they would just not count him and just give it to someone else. Unfortunately it looks like he's going to win it.
You should apply to the job of CoM Seneschal
By the way, shouldn't you be writing some thoughts?
If you are more outraged than anyone else is, it's only because you were, no real disrespect intended, foolish to think the same people that wouldn't give Bowen DPOY would give Manu 6MOY if there was an excuse not to. The fact that there's still one dumbass that's trying to make a case for Barbosa should tell you all you need to know.
Frankly, being outraged at the disrespect shown to my team is too draining, simply because we could spend all our time discussing it. The only individual award I'm rooting for a Spur to win is finals MVP, and I don't give a which one of them wins it.
err... no comment.

I believe that voters did not choose Manu last year because they felt that it violated the spirit- if not the letter- of the existence of the award. Last year Manu started 36 games and came off the bench 39 games. While he technically qualified, he really was a Sixth Man less than half the season.
This year, he only started 23 games and is more in line with the intent of the award.
