At this point the question probably shouldn't be whether Stevens is the best coach in the league but by how many magnitudes.

For comparison.....Popovich.....loses Duncan. Loses Kawhi.....can't win a thing.

Stevens loses an all star. Loses another all star. Loses Smart for most of a series. Loses Theis. Loses Jaylen for game one.....and he's just like "Hold my beer."

Pops couldn't coach his way out of a bag next to Stevens.

Brad Stevens obviously should win COTY, but NBA will find a way to give it to Brett Brown who got blown out in Game 1 of the East Semis tonight after practically getting a week off.

They can't give it to Stevens because he'd take the trophy and be like "Kinda a participation trophy isn't it? I mean you did give one of these to Doc didn't you?"

And then it'll be on eBay like 5 minutes later.

the week off probably hurt them, especially their shooting rythym. Hence 5 of 26

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

Probably shouldn't base the award on 1 game, either.

It’s an abomination that Snyder has only been mentioned 2 or 3 times on this thread IMO.

Outside of Brad or Pop Who does more with less than Snyder? He replaced Hayward with a rookie and they are doing better this year.  Guy is definitely up there.

Brad
Pop
Snyder

Kerr

yeah.. . US!

:D



jokes aside, I think you're right about Atkinson. He's got a good system and has shown the ability to get a lot out of his players.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier
