With the final regular season games all wrapped up, it’s time for everyone to vote for the individual and team awards. These took me a while to make as I had to make some very tough decisions, but I wanted to take this as seriously as possible. The Coach of the Year and the All-Defensive teams were the toughest to fill out. I also had to begrudgingly give the Defensive Player of the Year award to a certain trash-talker. Furthermore, these are not my predictions, but rather who I would vote for if given the chance. Let me know what you agree/disagree with and what award(s) you’d vote differently for. My playoff predictions will be coming later this week after the play-in has concluded.
