    A lot of Blazer love from probably the best writer of the NBA.

    I've been listening and reading around and Ed Davis is going to get some serious consideration for 6MOTY. He's not going to win of course, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him finish top 5. Good stuff.

    Great stuff; at least one of our players/staff/front office should be top 3-5 in voting for dang near every award category. CJ for MIP, Dame for All-NBA, Ed for 6MOY, Stotts for COY, Neil for EOY.

    I get why Kerr is going to get it.... but man he doesn't deserve it. He only coached half the year.

    NBA narrative > actual coaching.

    I love seeing Lillard on his 3rd team all-league pick. Where's LMA? And also love seeing Ed Davis on the 6th man list!

    Come on, Stotts deserves coach of the year, just because of how much this team exceeded expectations. Sometimes it seems like he's doing weird things with his defense and personell choices, but this team was a couple of freak plays away from a 50 win season. Doubling what national pundits predicted.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He was still around the team a lot during his official coaching absence, when they weren't on the road. And it's not like it was Luke Walton's system. Kerr probably should have won it last year, so giving him credit for this year's team seems fine to me.
