The end of season awards are such a joke.

Steve Clifford improved the Magic by 17 wins (most in the league) and took a team predicted to be bottom 3 to the playoffs. No mention amongst CotY awards. He should have been in that 2nd-4th cluster behind Budenholzer imo.

Terrance Ross scored 200+ 3's off the bench which has never been done before by a player who didn't start a single game. No mention amongst 6th man of the year. He should have been on the back end of the top 3. Like 3-5.

The Magic hovered between 1st and 2nd best defense in the league post all star break and had the 3rd best record post all star break. They was entirely off the back of the defense. Not a single Magic player got even a vote in the NBA Defense teams (James Harden, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving amongst others are people who got votes). Gordon should have been on the fringes of the 2nd team. Isaac should have picked up some token votes at least.

Like I didn't expect a Magic player to win any of the awards but to not even get a mention whatsoever is an absolute joke.

They really need the voting to be done by Players/Coaches and not by the media who blatantly do not watch teams who aren't on national TV like the Magic.
