    Lillard has been really, really bad on defense. Even Blazers fans don't try to defend Lillard on defense.

    The Blazers relied heavily on Wesley Matthews to cover for Lillard on that end, which is why it was not surprising to see them crumble the moment he went down.

    As a reference, Kyrie Irving "won" the No-DPOTY award in 2014, although Harden was a very close second. Kevin Martin won in 2013, Melo in 2012, Nash in 2008, etc.

    This is hysterical! :D :D :D

    Previous winners: Kevin Martin 2x No-DPOY champ, Al Jefferson, Turkeyglue in 2010, Nash, Carmelo, and Kyrie... That's a great list.

    He said Kobe would have won it this season hands down if he'd played enough games... Ouch! :D

    I did not know this was out there... Kinda like "The Razzies" award in the acting profession. They should have a First and Second Team selections...then a Most Regressed nomination too.

    The Award should be named after Steve Nash.

    Nah...that would be the Defenseless Career Achievement Award doled out to retired players after a five year window.
