What are your toughts on these Power Rankings and Award Races.

hollinger fails. epic fail. dallas 13th? tells you how bad his dumb-ass stats are.

mvp race looks good. maybe move deron williams up a little.

defensive player ron artest? epic fail. he's averaging 1.3 steals and .3 blocks, and isn't up to his usual defensive prowess. dpoy should go to howard or josh smith.

as for most improved, statistically it's definitely aaron brooks, but josh smith, while his numbers are approximately what they've been for his career, has become such a better player for the hawks this season. better passer, smarter player overall, and has started doing more than jumping and running around. corey brewer would also be a nice choice. he struggles horrifically in his first two seasons, and has finally gotten going.

brooks or skiles for coach of the year no doubt. skiles gets it for me, because nobody expected the bucks to do anything this season, while the thunder were expected to showcase at least some talent.

Those are the daily power rankings. Not the weekly power rankings

Im pretty much okay w/ award watch. I'd probably take Josh Smith over Brooks in regards to MIP

yeah I was gonna say... I saw the weekly PR and the Mavs were in the top 5.

but still... 13th for the mavs?

lol. On the ROY watch on NBA and ESPN, Curry has taken over the number one spot

Hah...

I like the ratings....but not the team one.

I disagree for the Mavs,they desurve to be in top 3.And for ROY.Tyreke Evans desurves that award.Dwyane wade is in MVP candidates,that's cool.

Steph Curry is the best now...

Things change

And i like Brewer's name on the MIP list

He's having excellent games

He did well,21 points,5 rebounds and held Smith on 6-15 shooting...

Man,I disagree.Tyreke is playing amazing so far and Plus he had a triple double yesterday wich is amazing for a Rookie

Steph Curry also had a triple double as well this year and he's playing on a better level then Tyreke

OK.That's your tought.But in my opinion Tyreke is better

Tyreke is better than Curry...He's averaging better numbers, and if you take Tyreke off of the Kings, they probably won't win a game for the rest of the year. It'll make a big impact if you take Curry off of the Warriors, but it won't cause something like what would happen if Tyreke left. Tyreke also shoots a higher percentage...

Yes, Brewer has greatly improved and has a great shot at MIP, but holding JR to 6-15 isn't really a big deal. 6-15 is 40% shooting. JR averages 41...

Anyway, the power rankings are GARBAGE! Once again, Utah is above us, even though we STILL are leading the division over them. Suns at 5, wtf???? DALLAS IS 13?!?!?! I rest my case.

Why is Andersen Varejao anywhere visible on the Defensive Player of the Year Award???? Other than that, the award races look good

Andy is still severly underrated this season. Im fine w/ him at 5.

Hollinger is a stat freak so with all due respect he fails in power rankings....

Award watch looks pretty good
