What I don't get is that almost every coach that's asked after they play the kings that would Evans be their ROY? And nearly all say yes. I think they should have the coaches vote for it. Why have writers and other idiots who either don't watch the west coast teams and are east coast biased or wether they just want curry to get it cause he has a baby face or some other weird nonsense. Evans is far above Jennings and curry. To even have a debate is ludicrous.
Tyreke Evans ROTY & 20/5/5 Watch
- Thread starter xrzn
- Start date
You're half right. Portland was team defense. Really, it was just Camby sitting in there. But to give him credit, Battier absolutely shut down Tyreke. He had 7 blocks that game, and I think most of them were on Tyreke. And these weren't "off the ball, cheating on defense" blocks. I'll be interested to see how things change next time they meet.
Yeah, that could never happen!

I hope your right. So when does all this madness end? Is it normally the first week of the playoffs that ROY is announced?
Also, i don't know if this has been posted anywhere else, but i heard on a radio podcast in the last couple of days, that it had been reported that Golden State's front office had called a few of the voters in the ROY award to push Curry. I personally hope that is not true, if so what does that say for the NBA's awards voting/procedures... I assume there are rules against this sort of thing.
I can't wait for this all to be over and Reke named the rightful 2010 ROY!
P.S. I also put money on him at the start of the year for ROY, which will be a bonus.

Stein gave his to Reke, although again note the tone -- almost apologetic. There is a sense of people giving Reke the award almost being sheepish about it and on the defensive. To which I just have to say WHAT?

Also note that as you can tell a lot of these votes are already in, so the success or failure of the 20-5-5 thing in the next couple of days really isn't going to matter to half of them.

I'll be waiting (maybe forever) or the first sports writer or assorted pundit to gush even slightest enthusiasm for picking Tyreke as ROY. I really think a lot of it boils down to anti-Sacramento, east coast bias, the grudging clear assessment for those voters who favor him, that on offensive and defensive end (but certainly combined) Evans deserves ROY.
A couple days ago Grant Napear interviewed Don Nelson on Jim Rome show about his recently getting most NBA coaching wins. They also talked about Curry but not directly race for ROY. Nellie went on how "surprisingly great" his little PG's defense was - quick hands, knack for steals, great rebounder for size, etc. The word "great" begins to lose meaning listening to "the great" coach Nellie. He bragged how in a recent game Curry came close to a quad-double. It was a totally positive, gaga assessment, with no mention that Curry leads the NBA in fouls for his position, has been a turnover machine, has not hit a winning shot or winning play on D all year, etc.
Hold your breath when ROY voting is announced and have a bottle of your favorite strong spirit next to you for a satisfied toast (hopefully) or chugging entire slug in despair

Looking around the web and listening to the radio I've been trying to get a feel of the voting*....
On ESPN: Marc Stien and Ric Bucher say they will vote for Tyreke, Chris Broussard says Jennings. Also, their rookie rankings have always had Reke #1, safe to assume another vote for Reke.

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/news/story?id=5063940
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/awards
NBA.com:
While Drew Packham has had Curry #1 in his rankings, he has said in podcasts and in interviews as late as last week he has Tyreke as the overall best rookie. Seoku Smith is voting for Curry. Scott Howard Cooper has maintained his vote will go to Evans.
New from today, David Aldridge has the vote for Tyreke--"by a hair"
http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/david_aldridge/04/12/morning.tip/index.html
Dennis Scott and Rick Kamla have Tyreke "all day long, all week long, all month long, all year long"

KHTK had two writers on, Chris Manix who has been mentioned before says Curry another one who's name escapes me says Tyreke
MSNBC.com: Another vote for Tyreke
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/36199619/ns/sports-nba/
Random beat writers on twitter and in broadcast:
Van Gundy - Curry. Marc Jackson -Reke
And then you have Grant Napear on his radio show always saying how almost all the beat writers and broadcasters he's talked to as the Kings have been on the road have said they are voting for Tyreke.
So....we'll see I guess.
*Don't know if all these guys have an actual vote

I have a feeling that all of the "drama" and "controversy" is only being stirred up by the National broadcasters and writers. The local ones don't really have any incentive to stir the pot, so I bet Grant is correct, and you'll see more of the local writers/broadcasters vote based on the merits of Tyreke.

Kobe Not Playing Against the Kings!

Probably won't make any difference to Tyreke's performance as RonRon will be the one guarding him regardless.

it does seem a bit strange that so few sports writer's have missed evans' YEAR-LONG two-way dominance. i really liked this bit in nba.com's power rankings today, though...
"A question for anyone who thinks Tyreke Evans is not the Rookie of the Year: What exactly did Evans do to lose the award he basically had locked up in January? His numbers since Feb. 1 (19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 46 percent shooting) are better than they were prior (20.5, 4.6, 5.0, 46 percent)."
http://www.nba.com/2010/news/powerrankings/04/12/week24/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1
it was kind of like a "FINALLY!!" moment for me. as in, finally, a sports writer with enough sensibility to recognize that stephen curry is playing UP to tyreke's numbers, and not the other way around. curry has, without a doubt, played phenomenally since january. however, he's only just reached a next-level of all-around offensive dominance that tyreke has displayed since november. forget about the defensive side of the ball. steph curry, in accordance with don nelson's system, takes chances on steals, and comes up with quite a few, but that hardly makes him the defensive equivalent of tyreke evans, who has proven to be a stopper on the wing many times this season...
