I'd have Thibs, Casey, and Stevens in the top 3 for CoY. Minnesota is gaining momentum in the west, Spo is an excellent coach but I doubt being a mid-tier EC team gets that award.

Minnesota is stacked. Way more impressive imo for spoelstra to have a nearly identical record. Big 4 of Karl anthony towns, jimmy Butler, Wiggins and Teague vs Josh Richardson, dragic, waiters and tyler johnson.

No one has him on their list yet - so I guess I'll go ahead.
Pop is Coach of the Year and it's not particularly close for me. He's taken a team where Kawhi Leonard has barely played, who's depending on a guy in LaMarcus Aldridge to be their primary scorer when Spurs fans were attempting to run him out of town. And beyond that who has the Spurs second best player been? A 95 year old Pau Gasol? Rudy Gay?
This team is currently 28-15. That is incredible.
My top 3 for COY:
1. Pop
2. Stevens
3. D'Antoni
Casey might be 4 or 5.That is a normal collar. Move on, find a new slant.Comment

Pop is like lebron. Could and should win every yearOther Scott wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

Oh yeah, forgot about Pop. It's at the point where we just take him for granted. He's basically rolling with a poor man's Portland Blazers (Nate McMillan era), minus Brandon Roy and a past-prime LaMarcus Aldridge.Other Scott wrote: View PostComment

Lot of stupid stuff from that single sentence. Everyone "has" 50 something games.. actually more like 82. If he means wins, then sure, but COY has nothing to do with playoffs. That's a regular season award just like the MVP is or the MIP is or the DPOY is.
And the last time they lost in the first round was 3 seasons ago.Comment

Remember when he and a teammate had a disagreement over a game of cards so they tried to turn their professional sports locker room into the OK corral?3inthekeon wrote: View Post

That teammate was a young player named Javaris Crittenton, who went on to become a convicted murderer and drug trafficker. Just a wonderful job of mentoring by the veteran, Gilbert Arenas. Tool.KeonClark wrote: View PostComment

To be fair to arenas, I don't think his momentary lapse of leadership caused the innocent kid to be a murderer. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the future murderer was part of the reason guns were drawn in the first placegolden wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

Also, he's kinda right that COY generally gets awarded to a coach that blows expectations out of the water. Expectations weren't out of this world for Casey's youth-dependent squad, but they weren't that low either. (unnecessary and inaccurate comment about getting knocked out in the first round notwithstanding)Comment

I’m pretty sure everyone was predicting we would be a 4-8 seed fighting for 45 wins instead of a potential 1 seed reaching for 60 wins.SkywalkerAC wrote: View PostComment

Who's everyone? I thought consensus was 3rd or 4th with Washington (some had Boston in our 2-4 tier), high 40s low 50sMaury wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment
