The 2017 NBA awards if voting included the playoffs

The NBA's regular season ended two months ago, but we still have yet to find out the winners of the league's annual awards. The MVP, Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man and Most Improved Player remain a mystery until the NBA unveils the winners in a nationally-televised awards show on June 26.

The voting for the awards has been closed since the end of the regular season, but that seems like ages ago after we witnessed so many exciting playoff performances. What if the voting for the awards took place at the conclusion of the postseason instead?
