...aka the awards presented after the Finals and Draft, when everyone has forgotten about the regular season because the champion has been crowned and we're looking ahead to next season. Seriously though, while the idea of an award ceremony is fine, it should be held in between the regular season and Playoffs. It takes some of the shine off the regular season awards when they're presented this late, and there was something special about awarding them during the Playoffs in front of a home crowd.
