It's not deserved this year.  Purely reputational.

It's supposed to be based on stats, right?

This sounds like the type of award that would be given out for an elementary school rec league

How do they even determine who wins this award? By speed? How many times a guy falls to the floor to get the basketball?  :P

You're not too far off.  There are all sorts of "hustle stats" that are tracked.

D-White was more deserving than Smart for any defensive award this year.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

No, no, don't cut into the Marcus hate like that. If you're a real Celtics fan, you have to irrationally hate someone on your own team. Especially if they are a player who gives their whole heart and soul, like Marcus Smart or Isaiah Thomas. So if you're going to act all rational about this award like that, then tell us who you truly hate on this team. Joe and Luke don't count.
(This whole post is meant to be tongue in cheek.)

When they decide to name this after a player, hopefully they go with Cowens.

I am a big Marcus Smart fan.  I often defend him in threads.  This award is silly though.

So we traded a guy who finished 3rd in the hustle award and a late first rounder for the 6th man of the year.

Not bad, Bradly.
