He was good. 2.6 blocks per game (4th behind Ibaka, Sanders, Duncan) on arguably the best defensive team in the league. If not def top 5. I think that is more what gave Marc the award honestly is that since it was a toss up they gave it to him because Memphis could be regarded as the better all around defense team/better recordWas Hibbert that good defensively this year? I'm not questioning you, but I really don't know....Thought for sure DPOY was going to Ibaka or Hibbert. But congrats to Marc. Dont watch many Grizz games. He hasnt impressed me much against the Clippers in that series. But he musta been doing something good out there this season.
And before anyone comes back at me. I know hes a great player. But I havent seen anything overwhelming on the defensive end that series to make me think he should have got it over the other 2. At the same time. No1 really stood out. So it was pretty much a toss up for the award this year.
Honestly, thats kind of what DPOY has come to many years. If you block shots and make players coming into the paint adjust your shot just because you are in the vicinity you are regarded as one of the best Defensive players in the league.Why would ibaka get dpoy isn't he just a shot blocker
It was between Gasol and Noah pretty much all year. Then Noah got hurt and that sealed it for Marc. Still well-deserved though.
I dont disagree with that at all.It was between Gasol and Noah pretty much all year. Then Noah got hurt and that sealed it for Marc. Still well-deserved though.
if noah didnt miss 20 games (while that happened we didnt slip in the standings) he wouldve won....
Harrison Barnes has caught the most bodies this season right?
All of this.It was between Gasol and Noah pretty much all year. Then Noah got hurt and that sealed it for Marc. Still well-deserved though.
How is that an L?Ohio can't avoid Ls.
Mike Brown is now back in Cleveland lol.
MVP, All NBA/Defensive Teams still to be determinedSo how many awards are still left to be announced?
The award was Joakim's before he got hurt imo
Noah was definitely in contention.if noah didnt miss 20 games (while that happened we didnt slip in the standings) he wouldve won....It was between Gasol and Noah pretty much all year. Then Noah got hurt and that sealed it for Marc. Still well-deserved though.
I'm not even sure why they would hire Mike Brown if the ultimate goal is bringing Lebron back, considering they fired him before to keep Lebron happy.Screw the Cavaliers for making a move that will surely lead to another one of those unbearable stories (with absolutely no credibility/sanity) that ESPN will shove down our collective throats for too long of a time.
First it was the Melodrama, then it was the Dwightmare, now? LeBron to Cleveland in the Summer of 2014.
Quick Timeline Check: The Melodrama and the Dwightmare only lasted for about 6 months. The Summer of 2014 is 1 year and 3 months away...

But.....I don't have an infatuation with God's accident of a city.
What else ya got?
Ill wait.
Because LeBron is completely owning this era. He'll have a hard time surpassing him if this year is any indication.
"God's accident of a city"now I know exactly which NTer you are; hiding behind this Victor Page moniker.
