Stein's hardware store

[Mark in Austin]

My votes would be:

Rookie: Gordon
MIP: Simmons
6th: Gordon
Coach: Scott Skiles
DPOY: Bowen
MVP: Nash

There's one thing I agree with Hollinger on: D'Antoni should be COY.

I don't see how Stein can justify picking Nate, when Seattle's caving in here the last couple of weeks.

Seattle lost 3 starters and a key backup...that is why they are caving, not because of Nate.

Not one person in the world picked Seattle to even make playoffs, much less win division.

Jim, just because people were short-sighted in their Pacific division picks doesn't mean that what Seattle did is so amazing.

The Spurs didn't fall apart when starters went missing, why should Nate get leeway?

They have lost 50% of their scoring(Lewis, Radmanovic, AD, and Fortson) and 45% of their rebounding the last 10-15 games.

No team can overcome that.

Like Stein said, all of the whining and complaining this year should get Bowen DPOY.

Bowen (accepting his DPOY award): "First of all, I'd like to thank Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Michael Finley..."
