Article:Stiles Household' end-of -season-concerto-de-suminitup-awards (NBA EDITION)

Normally, people would put an introductory paragraph here....I as well, felt compelled to qualify all that follows but let's just get to the point:

====

====

Rookie of the Year - it's gotta be Durant, how can you argue...well honorable mention to Al Horford, Luis Scola (though he is a "VETERAN" rookie), Al Thornton, and Juan Carlos Navarro.
==== Exectutive of the Year - Steve Kerr - "uh,  psst, Steve...(in a whisper) yer BALLS are showing" said Ron Wolfley. Not only did he make the riskiest trade in aquiring a 35-year-old Shaq for an All-star Marion...he brought in a refreshed Hill (and HEALTHY might I add) and replaced a weak 8-spot James Jones with a DEPENDABLE and hustling G Giricek. ====

==== Eighth Man - Never heard of it? Well, I introduce the catagory as Gordon Giricek CEARLY deserves the accolade - no team can depend on an 8th man hustling, diving, scoring as much or playing with the defensive intensity that G Squared brings to the Suns. ====

==== Best "LIVE" Stiles Household moment(s) of the season - the many interesting interactons with Suns announcer/legend Tom Chambers. Honorable mentions: seeing Shaq with the Heat, Suns three-fest vs. the Nuggets ====

Play-off predictions:
2nd round West - Lakers, Jazz, Suns and Mavericks

2nd round East - Celtics, Cavs, Magic, Pistons

West Finals - Suns vs Lakers...Suns win in 6

East Finals - Pistons vs Celtics...Pistons win in 5

NBA FINALS - Suns vs Pistons - Suns win in 7 - STAT Finals MVP
