Here is the voting.
It’s weird, we just had Thibs pull out of a Coach of the Year Award despite not having the most first place votes (the first time that that has ever happened), we’ve had Julius Randle somehow be named to the All-NBA Second Team!, which is just remarkable and Derrick Rose even received a first place vote for MVP (a fan-vote, so perhaps it was a trolling thing, but still)…and then Immanuel Quickley…doesn’t even make the first team of the All-Rookie Team?
What in the what?
Don’t get me wrong, first team All-Rookie is fairly meaningless for future production, but how could anyone see Quickley’s rookie season and not say that he had one of the five best seasons by a rookie? How? It’s mind-boggling. It just doesn’t make any sense.
But whatever, congrats on making the second team, IQ! In just the last five years, that’s company shared with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Mitchell Robinson, John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Jamal Murray and Jaylen Brown. RJ Barrett infamously didn’t even make the All-Rookie team in his rookie season!
Here’s a trivia question – the 2015-16 NBA All-Rookie Second Team is the most recent All-Rookie team to have a player who is now out of the NBA based on no team wanting him (You’d have to go back to 2012-13 and Dion Waiters for the first first team All-Rookie player who is no longer in the NBA because no one wants him. Mirotic is out of the league, too, from 2014-15, but that’s his choice). Who is it?
Also, as part of our all-poll content…
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

I’m still outraged about this. It’s like the exact opposite rationale from the one that kept RJ off of last year’s teams altogether.
In other news, Jowles, I have seen Bo Burnham: Inside. Go.
I’d vote Quick ahead of Bey and Tate, but to be honest i almost didn’t watch Tate. I like Bey a lot, i had him on my list for the Knicks picks last year, but it’s not the same to shine on the 4th placed team or the last. It’s the old story of putting stats on losing teams. And the same for Tate, even though i don’t know his game well.

This troll that voted “None of them” it’s probably the same that voted “Hawks in 4″… i’m onto you, better watch your back! LOLOL
Yes. I’ve had several of the songs stuck in my head since.
okay, so bpm and vorp are our things:
Ball: 1.9 bpm, 1.4 vorp
Edwards: -2.6 bpm, -0.3 vorp
Haliburton: 1.1 bpm, 1.4 vorp
Bey: -0.8 bpm, 0.6 vorp
Tate: -1.2 bpm, 0.4 vorp
our man quik: 0.6 bpm, 0.8 vorp…so there it is…on top of that – the hornets, wolves, kings, pistons and rockets all had a sub .500 season…

Almost Got Me!
I had voted NYK in 4 and I’m not a troll!
Just a Recently-Quantum-Physics-informed NYK fan who sees and votes IQ as the rookie of the year in a parallel blue and orange universe! 😉
My wife was a fan before (I was largely indifferent), but she said she watched it and was like, “Oh, so this is real art by an artist.” And I have to agree. Good luck to any comedian trying to make a stand-up special about COVID in the wake of this one. Feels “big,” if that makes sense to say about a one-man show in a single room. And I loved the ending. Spoilers ahead:

Yeah!
Frank Ntilikina baby!
I really missed talking bout this guy!
;-}
Hey, cybersoze, it wasn’t me. Plus I like Queta too. Lol.
Ahead of Tate and Bey is the correct choice I think. For as much as the media writ large is accused of having an East coast bias, we’ve been weirdly denied some accolades we probably deserved on the merits lately. There’s this, Quickley being left off the Rising Stars roster, Mitch losing out to Marvin freakin’ Bagley for all-rookie first team, and RJ’s snub.
To be fair they were pretty damn close to the actual result…
Jowles, I think there are other ways that comedians could take on 2020 — particularly a female and/or BIPOC comedian — but this certainly felt like it could stand as the definitive one if nobody else wanted to try.
😛
+1000
Phew, sometimes i think about it and yeah it was really close, those times i even feel happy we managed to not be swept.
I think tonight Philly wins and forces a game 7. What do you guys think?
It depends on whether Thybulle plays like Frank or not.
#I think tonight Philly wins and forces a game 7. What do you guys think?#
I really wish for a Mil-Atl ECF but I’m ok with any result as long as its fair and Not Refmade.
Tonight it’s Atlanta’s Huge Chance and Philly’s Last Chance.
Philly looks better on paper but…we saw many papers during this season turn to toilet papers so… Let’s wait and enjoy this battle!
From ESPN:
It seems to be a typical story. You have a great game against some team and then they trade for you.
After Boston’s first playoff run with Kemba/Hayward it was obvious that these 2 albatrosses would fuck Celt’s future.
Getting rid of both players/contracts was the obvious move even from back then but i really think they missed precious time and assets before completing it.
So now Boston has one point guard (Marcus Smart) and five centers (Horford, Williams, Brown, Fall and Kornet). They clearly improved at center, but have some more moves they have to make.
https://www.sportsnet.ca/article/rj-barretts-experience-important-canada-finding-international-success/
RJ starting olympic qualifiers with Canada… they should at least advance to the championship game i think and then they’ll in all likelihood play a tough game against Turkey for the right to play in the olympics… Turkish team is pretty stacked and Alperen Sengun should be playing I think if you want to take a peak at the next great international big to come over… Canada is also no pushover and pretty nba stacked lineup for them and should be a good experience for RJ… i’m kind of rooting they don’t make it to the Olympics though…
Maybe we should trade [redacted] for Williams
i really hope they do but it’s all dependent on how good embiid feels in the 4th since philly literally implodes whenever embiid suffers on offense …
Rooting for Philly but the joker in me wants an Atlanta-Utah finals
I would be shocked if Philly lost. I was shocked when they lost each of the last two games.
Atlanta looks good
Trae looks ready to scorch them
I’m in for total chaos as long as the Nets don’t win.
It could be funny to watch how Philly, Clippers, Bucks and Jazz will react to a “premature” exit…
They need to stop whistling these stupid fouls, there’s almost no contact. The first Harris foul was outrageous.
Another mediocre start by The Hawks.
Agree 100%.
I hope next year this thing will change for good.
Thybulle D on Trae don’t impress till now
Either Nate McMillan has figured out a great defensive scheme to hide Trae Young or Rivers (and Thibs before him) is missing something obvious. No one puts Trae into the pick & roll.
Okongwu looks tough
Atlanta is sending the double at Embiid as soon as he dribbles. No one is cutting hard to give him an easy pass. Even with Simmons out, the lane is clogged.
This changed fast
I’m watching Maxey carve up the Hawks D and thinking that could have been IQ.
Maxey is Feeling it
Maxey and IQ have kind of opposite games. Quickley’s much better from distance, Maxey better at putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rack.
Trae is Unstoppable
Sent Maxey…back to Kentucky and made a 3 from the logo
He is BAAAAAD
the travis schlenk job security chart this year looks like amc
Here is my suggestion for the Philly offense in the second half.
1. Bench Simmons.
2. Play Maxey.
3. Run the Pick & Roll with Harris & Embiid.
4. Curry, Maxey & Korkmaz have to be ready to shoot from 3, if Atlanta sends a 3rd man to defend the pick & roll.
I did not see trae young becoming this dominant a player…he’s like allen iverson out there doing whatever he wants…
Good non whistle against Young…
3s will give the W
philly has a net rtg advantage of +5.1 in the series so they’ve mostly been waxing the floor with atl other than some untimely misses … probably due to embiid knee pain.. coinciding with godly hawk shooting…
Not only should that not be a foul on Embiid, it should be an offensive foul on Collins. It might even deserve to be a flagrant.
this nba season has not been so kind for john calipari’s reputation….
Dwight Howard is an evil genius,
this disallowed three can be huge…
I wonder if collins re-signs with atlanta, that okongku kid looks good, what a nice block…
oh yeah basketball purists – whatever, but i’m fouling simmons every time he touches the ball 🙂
This game is brutal to watch.
Ben Simmons with 4 points. I don’t care about all the other things he does, that’s just not acceptable from your #2 guy.
Still reeling from the revelation that so many Knicks fans are into quantum physics. Not a typical Venn diagram.
Simmons would really test my patience, although that block of Trae was awesome.
Perfectly fair snub, IMO. IQ only played ~1200 minutes. Tate and Bey were at ~2,000 and ~1,900, respectively.
Desmond Bane probably has more reason to feel snubbed.
not to be too wierd, but just wondering: do you believe in aliens owen?
it seems we’re only a few hundred years from figuring out how things work…not too hard to imagine something else getting there a few hundred thousand years before us…
who knows how long it’ll be before we start seeding other planets with rocks filled with dna gunk…
quality > quantity
Embiid is a lot bigger than Collins
Geo, I believe in aliens but not on Earth. Except for maybe Dwight Howard.
That Embiid arms spread wide “what’d I do?” bullshit is really hard to take
gallo…nar…reeeeere
It is bullshit but I was raised on a decade of Knicks doing it all the time. And I loved it. So I have some mixed emotions.
Wow Trae
ice trae
Fantastic basket by Trae, against a good defense.
this announcer is trying to make “Ice Trae” happen and I hope he stops.
I think ice trae was long before whomever is announcing this
Announcer handled the lights going out very well. “ Trae shot the lights out”
Very cool shot with the iPhone flashlights
Philly is literally attacking 4 vs 5, they’re doing everything to avoid giving the ball to Simmons…
Wow this time the Sixers made their free throws and won the game, what a surprising outcome, totally unexpected
