Defensive Player of the Year

[Railgun]

honestly, i don't think dwight has given 100% effort defensively this season. he needs to pick it up in the playoffs.

Yeah that's one thing about him I hate. If he doesn't get the ball for a stretch he'll stop giving af on D.

no... i have watched around 40-50. imo they need him more defensively then offensively. he tends to pick it up in the 4th q and in games vs. other contenders though.

Nothing new. It goes to the big man in the great defensive team. Take Noah away and Bulls would still be one of the best defensive teams in the league. Put Howard or Marc Gasol or Jordan with the Bulls, they give to Howard/Gasol/Jordan. This award sucks.

BTW, Noah s DPOY campaign started after he started to play great offensively. He had those triple double games and boom, people were like: Lets reward him with DPOY! He cant win MVP, let s give him DPOY instead. ahahhahha.
Yeah joke.

Then who deserves DPOY ?

No, Lebron doesnt deserve it. He was average defensively this year.

If Bogut, Iguodala, or Leonard had played more games then I'd definitely have no problem with them winning the award.

Also, Noah started to get more attention for Defensive Player of the Year when offensive numbers started to pick up because the Bulls started winning. If Noah doesn't become more of a lynch pin to their offense, there's a good chance the Bulls might not even be in the playoffs right now. Even so, his defense didn't drop at all with increased offensive production.

Durant deserves it

Noah's Def RAPM numbers are mediocre for someone that's supposed to be DPOY. Hell, he's not even the best defender on his own team.

defensive stats are pretty much always at least partially wrong.

Nobody gives a **** about defense stats. Team defense is all that matters these days. Rotating, closeouts, double teams, etc. You can hide bad defenders and overshadow good ones.
