Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of followers throughout the NBA. All year long we ask questions of essentially the most plugged-in Boston Celtics followers and followers throughout the nation. Enroll right here to take part within the weekly emailed surveys. Outcomes courtesy of FanDuel.

Followers had been polled on the NBA Awards and you will discover the outcomes under (together with my completely neutral, unbiased opinions).

Shai leads the league in factors and is the driving power behind the Thunder competing for the league’s greatest document. Jokic is, nicely, Jokic. And a few would argue that he deserves the MVP once more, however Shai is the brand new, shiny object of individuals’s affection so he’ll in all probability find yourself getting it.

I feel Tatum is correctly slotted at #3 despite the fact that I feel a few of what he does is undervalued (protection, playmaking, usually letting different gamers cook dinner when that results in profitable). He in all probability would have had a stronger case if the Celtics had been main the East.

I suppose he’ll simply must set his sights on the Finals MVP, if he can beat out his teammate for it this time.

The long run is brilliant in San Antonio, despite the fact that Wemby’s blood-clot problem is frightening.

This ballot was carried out earlier than information broke about Wemby’s situation. Now he received’t hit the minimal video games threshold, so I might think about this award goes to JJJ.

Luke Kornet was robbed.

Amen has had an incredible season and looks like an affordable contender for this award. That mentioned, I feel this has been Payton’s award because the first week of the season. Give that man his {hardware}.
