6man like lou will

such bullshit


Isaiah was better, and the only argument there is to make is Toronto has a better record than Boston

The Celtics win% with Isaiah is greater than Toronto's win%, with and without Lou. Thomas puts up better numbers, at better percentages

Thomas deserved that award

 

[elcheato]

It's a stupid award anyway. It's always bench players who should be starters

 

[snipezo]

chucker off the bench of the year award.

Sweet Lou is making history.

Toronto Raptors guard Lou Williams has been named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, which is awarded to the league's best reserve player. With this honor, Williams becomes the first ever Raptors player to earn the Sixth Man award.

Williams, in his 10th season as a pro and his first with Toronto, earned 78 first-place votes and 502 points, while Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas finished second with 324 points and 33 first-place votes, and Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Jamal Crawford earned third with 131 points and eight first-place votes.

The guard has been a stunner and made the difference for his team all season. Williams made all 80 of his game appearances fresh off the bench, averaging 25.2 minutes and 15.5 points per game this season and helping the Raptors to earn a franchise-record 49 games to make it to the postseason. The 28-year-old put his team on his back in the fourth quarter in the March 4 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and posted 21 points to set a Raptors record. He also led Toronto in free-throw percentage, sinking 86.1 percent of his shots at the line.

It is easy to see why Williams was bestowed the Sixth Man honor. He led or tied on his team in scoring 18 times which, according to the NBA's press release, is the second most in the league for a reserve.

Stay sweet.

Why do you always fail to acknowledge the large number of games this season that Thomas played in a Phoenix suns uniform? Not saying Thomas should or shouldn't have won but you can't base your argument off 20 games

When's the last time a player won any award after switching teams midseason? Serious question I can't think of any off the top of my head

his stats with Phoenix is slightly better than Lou's, but fairly equal. Then he goes to Boston, and his stats go a lot higher

Plus, it's not like Phoenix stayed just as competitive after losing IT. while they did lose Gragic too, they plummeted after the Deadline, and took themselves out of playoff contention in the process

I just don't see a logical argument for saying Lou deserved it more. You can see Isaiah's impact, both on the court, in the stat book, and the standings.

I was just pointing out that you bring up Isaiah's stats in Boston as though it was a full body of work when in reality it's about a third of his total games

The Sixth Man of the Year award, which goes to some good scorer every single year. Doesn't matter what else they do.

Drake paid the league off so his song made more sense.
