Turned an 11-30 team and ended it 30-11 with one of the best records in the league in 2017. Tiebreakers killed us but Spo did a fantastic job and earned my faith.

Would have been tied for the 8th spot in the West

 

[an emissary from hell]

Both definitely deserve it, I think Scott Brooks did an excellent job in Washington as well

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Is this replacing the AP coach of the year award?

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Well deserved on both ends

NO.....atleast I don't think so as the award is voted by the Coaches.

Says a lot how other coaches feel about both guys.

What's funny is people disregard Kawhi's regular season record in the MVP race because he plays in the Spurs system but they don't give props to Pop when it's time to pick coach of the year even though he built that system.

 

[Dr. Hibbert's Revenge]

i see what you're trying to do, silver

trying to set a precedent for co-mvp between harden and westbrook

 

[ManBearPig]

I know Spo was going to be a good coach someday

 

[Jax]

This way he'll never leave.
