George Karl named COY

Thibs at 8 is a joke

 

McHale and Pop got snubbed.

 

Seems about right if you look at the regular season which this award is based on.

 

They're probably relieved. COYs, those guys get fired not too long after.

 

Almost everybody projected the Rockets to not make the playoffs this year after a roster overhaul (and I think even after signing harden), yet Coach McHale coached the Rockets to a No. 8 seed.

He should have won. Incredible.

 

This is tarnished after their sorry playoff performance. Kinda of like when Dirk won MVP.

 

Harden/Asik should've gotten MIP, McHale should've gotten COY, let's wait for EOY

 

well so far i've gotten every reward right except DPOY, still think Lebron should have won it.

 

Man, I thought Tom Thibodeau won by a landslide.

 

What a joke. This dude is just another Adelman.

 

lol Spo over thibs, pops, vogel

the guys has LeGod

 

No kidding, expected him to at least be 2 or 3 in the voting.

 

Not saying McHale should have won cause I think he has poor coaching rotations but he did get the team into playoffs on a complete roster overhaul. Top 3 at least...Top 8 is just dumb.

1. Pop
2. Spo
3. McHale

 

Erik Spoelstra? LOL at #2

 

They lost Brewer (who did start the majority of the games last season), Korver, Asik (who we see how much of an impact he is) oh and not to mention the only person to win MVP other than Lebron since 2008. Still finished 5th and is now 1 and 1 with the Heat. He (Tom) is solid, tough, smart and makes his team better.

 

I would've thought Pop would win COY

 

Exactly what I thought. I don't really care about all these awards. You can't judge a coach's work by a single season just like you can't judge a player by a month's play. A lot of MIP didn't do very well afterward. And DPOY is mostly voted by reputation. MVP is like "Who's turn is it this year?"

 

I think Karl is a good choice. Has been a good coach for many years, and he had his team clicking mid-to-late-season without any real franchise player. Thib has a similar argument, and I would have been good with that too. Spo's got the superfriends, but they did some special stuff this season, including that ridiculous winning streak. I don't have a problem with him getting some credit for that.

 

pop had a strong case. He got so many injuries through the year and yet he managed to get the second seed on the west and 3rd overall best record, with an aging core. Spoelstra is a good coach, but its easy when u have lebron, dwade, bosh, allen , etc etc. Too much talent.
