Baseball's been doing this too.  Why are there finalists?  Finalists are dumb.  What's the point?  Just announce your award winner and call it a day.

It gives some well-deserved attention to the guys who end up coming in 2nd and 3rd imo.

Once the winner is announced, he gets all the attention

Yeah. Okay. It all seems pretty pointless to me.

ROTY will go to Simmons, though I think Mitchell deserves it to be honest.

COTY *should* go to Brad Stevens... BUT watch them give it to freakin' Casey...  >:(

Snyder definitely deserves to be a finalist though. No complaints at all there.

Dinwiddie a finalist for MIP. He was huge in getting Brooklyn to 8th instead of what easily could have been bottom 3.  :D

Probably something to do with that dumb awards show they do
