Nice.

I'm proud of those 3 Renaldo Balkman votes (all from P&T).

I wonder if that super model will take a rain check...

The crazy thing...

Is that Rajon Rondo got a first place vote. I mean guys who get DNPs while healthy really should not get that kind of vote. Did I count it? Absolutely.

Celtics '08 or bust. Are you on the bandwagon?

Walter Hermann

Got 4 votes?

It's rookie of the year, not rookie of the last month.

Very True

I also think it's funny that almost everyone, myself included, seems to ignore the fact that Roy missed 25 games this season. That's a big chunk of games.
