No. I’m honestly not sure the Rockets have ever had this good of a coach. As much love as I have for Rudy, he had a prime Hakeem. He didn’t have to build from the worst team in the league 3 years running. He’s the COY right now.
It is amazing that the whole mishandling of coaching in the rebuild by hiring and not firing Silas on time, combined with what ime did in Boston landed us the best coach we could dream of.
He might win coach of the year award if we make playoffs because this team has no business being in the playoffs without him.
He normally would win but okc is amazing too. I would still give it to ime for building a team that wins with its defense, quite against the current.
OKC wasn’t bad last year, especially in the second half if I recall. They were supposed to be pretty good this year, especially with the addition of Holgrem. IMO it’s between Ime or Mosley (Magic)
