ESPN guys agree.
"Sweeping"
Clearly he does not, since the accusations are more that the Warriors are the sexy pick or that his rationale for basing it on minutes played is stupid. All things being equal, you can look at minutes, but Leonard has been so much better than everyone else the last six weeks that it's ridiculous.
It's also pretty stupid of Lowe to act like he's doing anyone a favor by putting Green and Duncan on those teams. It's not fan voting. Did he have the option to leave either one off those teams? Doubtful.
And, great as Pop is, there's probably not a Spurs fan alive that thinks he deserves COY over Bud, Kidd or Kerr.

Did anyone expect anything different? They want Twitter followers, Facebook likes, etc. They're pandering to the casual fans.
Draymond isn't the worst DPOY pick, as long as it isn't DeAndre Jordan. Personally I'd have Kawhi and Gobert ahead of Draymond though.
Broussard released his ballot today.
Voted DPOY - 1.Draymond 2.DeAndre 3. Kawhi
Did have TD and Kawhi all NBA second team though.
Green isn't the worst pick, just the second best pick on his own team.
To choose, I'd prefer All NBA than DPOY
this award became some award for specialized dudes with limited arsenal: Noah, Chandler, Gasol a bit less but still more recognized for Def than O. Leonard is two way players not anymore a Defensive specialist to be compared with Green or Bogut or Gobert imo fwiw
yeah ALL-NBA is far more important.
Thankfully Kawhi is getting some 2nd team votes so that should at least get him a third ALL-NBA...
I'd love td to get an award but the important thing is Kawhi because TD has enough officiating respect.
DPOY though will give kawhi more room to be aggressive on the defensive end.
Lowe at least is consistent in valuing total minutes played as part of the equation. Bogut is more irreplacable as a defender, though.
agreed
plus the fact it's a confidence booster eventho kawhi does not seem to need some
Y'all really get bent over irrelevant stuff. Kiwi going after consecutive Finals MVP's which only the best of the best have done not even Tim has pulled it off. Let Green have that award it means little.
Lowe having to defend himself after giving spurs mad love is hilarious, tbh ...
People discussing things in a discussion forum! The nerve of some people!
Lowe can pretend he's not biased all he wants, but last time I checked, he's got connections with a lot of people in the league, just like the rest of the media. The difference between him and a lot of them, is his are more discreet and subtle.
Like anyone who knows the game, he obviously has an appreciation for the Spurs, but he's not a fan, like he is of the Thunder, Grizzlies (mostly because of his obsession with Gasol) and Warriors.
