Analysis, Opinion and Stats All About The NBA

NBA Awards Watch #7 (December 10, 2012)

Posted by on Dec 10, 2012 | 0 comments

In last week’s Awards Watch, we had James Harden, Jamal Crawford, Tim Duncan, Damian Lillard and Kevin Durant winning awards. We’ve had a change coming into this edition as the Defensive Player of the Year could be going elsewhere.

We’re also going to add a player to watch for each category.

We’re here every Monday with a new edition of the NBA Awards Watch, so continue to check us out here at HoopsHabit.com for the newest editions.

Stats listed are current as of games completed on December 9th.

I wear many hats. I will become a father for the first time in July 2013. My work career started as an umpire, evolved to a blackjack dealer and has settled as a sportswriter. You could say I'm used to getting yelled at. I love me some Minnesota Timberwolves but currently call Phoenix home. I'm an eight handicap and a terrible leaper.
