I’m really happy he is doing so well. He was an assistant with the Thunder when his wife was killed in a car wreck, leaving him with 4 fairly young kids. He is a very good dude.
Gonna be hard not to give it to him with mid 60 wins but if Memphis wins in the high 50's or Cleveland gets in low 50's or gets a top seed they are also in contention. I guess they will have to value what is more impressive.
What if Miami finish 57-25?
It’s because of the way people have treated the coach of the year award in sports. Sometimes it goes to the coach of the best team and other times it’s based on perception. If you take that which others perceive to be ass and you turn it into average or above average there is a tendency to value or even overvalue that stuff. To me the coach of the year is always the coach who hoists the trophy. Isn’t that the point of all of this?
He said after the game “they weren’t doubling me so I figured I needed to attack”. A couple of missed FT’s from 30 in the 1st Q and eclipsing Dirk’s record in the McGrady game. He’s just fun as hell to watch as a Mavs fan.
Yeah but we'd probably have to add in Kuminga and a first
And to think that the Lakers organization traded him away for throw-up-a-brick Westbrook. The Lakers could have saved themselves a boatload of cash and had a potentially developing star they so desperately want to have all the time to go along with an aging James and can't-stay-healthy AD..
Definitely in the running. If it's between a 50-52 win Cavs team and 57 win Miami team...it should go to CLE. Not being a homer but 26 projected wins to 52 would be double and just something we haven't seen in a very long time. Even if that happens it will depend on Memphis and Phoenix. I mean if PHX wins 65 or 66....Monty likely gets it
Yeah but nothing they could do anyway in the 1st, he was draining 3's. He was just on. Yeah, 3 missed FT's and he 2 3's that went in and out. I don't think he could have challenged the 37 by Klay but maybe the 34 by Love.
He’s become a force. He looks and plays like he’d also be a decent TE in the NFL.
That's why if he gets by you he is basically unstoppable at the rim, you can't get around him. Wide body, big shoulders. He has underrated quickness
They have really bought into the defensive aspects of the game. Sean Sweeney deserves a ton of credit. I don’t know what he’s selling but the players are clearly buying it. Luka’s D is night and day improved from last season and he’s not alone. THAT’S the key to this thing that I see every game as a MFFL. Moving KP doesn’t help that but watching them without KP the last week, they will be fine.
