Here’s the question of the day: “How can Marc Gasol win Defensive Player of the Year, but not be on the All-Defensive First Team?” It’s a puzzling one, isn’t it? But thankfully, we have an answer. That is, the media votes for the player of the year awards, while coaches vote for the All-NBA teams [...]

Jordan Crawford didn’t play a single minute in the Celtics’ 92-86 game five victory over the Knicks last night, but he had no problem stirring up some controversy.
