Oddsmakers have it wrong. Celtics Malcolm Brogdon for 6th-Man-of-the-Year

 The oddsmakers have it wrong. Most show the Knicks Immanuel Quickley having the best shot at being named NBA 6th-Man-of-the-Year over the Celtics Malcolm Brogdon.


Quickly's rise over the last month has a lot to do with his scoring and the fact New York defeated Boston (per HardwoodHoudini's Eric Fritts):

 "Malcolm Brogdon was and still is among those with high odds but the favorite has shifted to New York Knick Immanuel Quickley, whose odds went from +175 before defeating Boston to -130 after, per MGM Sportsbook."

Here are the comparative stats for both over the regular season:

Brogdon:

14.9 PPG-.484 FG-.444 3s-.870 FT-4.2 RPG-3.7 APG

Quickley: 

12.2 PPG-.435 FG-.352 3s-.803 FT-3.7 RPG-2.9 APG

The Sixth-Man-of-the-Year award is determined (or should be) by a sub's contribution to a team's (hopefully) winning record over 82 games - not simply what occurs in the last month. Even looking at the numbers over the last 15 games, Brogdon gets the nod on almost every statistical category. 

The oddsmakers need to eat their numbers. Malcolm Brogdon has been a lifesaver for the Celtics since coming to Beantown. He has proved to be invaluable in the role that he so-graciously accepted.

I close my case!

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...

He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
