Played pretty much the same level defense all year. If KD and Kyrie stayed put, he probably would get the nod.
What a fuckin snub man.
Whatever happened to that whole fishy scenario with JJJ and the Memphis home scorekeeper giving him phony blocks and steals?
Next year
AD and Giannis didn’t make it either.
Dillon Brooks making a team must mean that pissing off opponents is a factor they consider now. And Caruso 1st team? What?
All I cared about with the awards was Clax getting his much deserved all-defense
What a fucking joke, he was easily the second best defensive center in the regular season this year
Bummer. Brook and JJJ are very deserving but I feel like Clax was better than Adebayo defensively this year. Both are exceptional at switching onto the perimeter but Clax is a better rim protector.
Nets really are on league and media punishment for KD and Kyrie leaving smdh
He deserved it but our defensive rating wasnāt good enough and thereās only two center spots.
All more of a reason for Clax to go even harder next year.
Since KD and Kyrie are left the media stop caring about us, not much more to say
