With the Lovin' Spoonful's lyrics reverberating through my head, it's time to finally decide this season's award winners.

MVP: You can't go wrong with Kevin Garnett (providing the balloting doesn't go a second round) or Tim Duncan, who makes the Spurs a certified championship contender regardless of his supporting cast.
