nope. Hornacek is taking it
Is anyone else even close?

Didn't say he will, said he "could". JH is overrated, Suns aren't even currently in the playoffs.
even though Pop shat the bed in the Finals, he deserves CotY again for this season. Spurs suffering through a terrible hangover and tons of injuries, yet somehow atop a very compe ive West....pretty amazing imo.
??
Pop may have the 2nd best talented team in the league, behind Miami and/or Indiana.
when have you ever seen a coach in the 8th or 9th spot win coach of the year?
With the way the Spurs are still on top and they haven't even had the whole roster, the ol' sport should get coach of the year again
always goes to that team with no expectations and barely makes play offs
i say give it to brown if he can get that philly team to win 1 more game this season
This season's Spurs haven't had a Top 10 player nor a healthy squad for a majority of the season and they have the best record in the league tbh.
One thing about Pop. He must have ice water in his veins. He put the end of the bench into the game and watched them boot the ball around until the 27 point lead melted away. This game could have been lost at the end, but he didn't panic and didn't put any of the stars back in to seal the win.
I bet every Spurs Talk fan was getting nervous and ready to tear into Pop if we lost.
Im not sure about that but Im happy with our current record.
If the Suns miss the playoffs like I think they will then Pop absolutely deserves CotY and it's not even close tbh.
Post hoc ergo proper hoc. These guys outside of Pop are not world shakers.
You can also add Pop is an integral decision maker in putting this team together.... we can all complain about Errors, but there's a lot of solid pickups too...
The injuries that allowed the bench guys to play big minutes and get big results made a huge difference in how the team will develop for the rest of the season. The 2nd unit is a monster relative to other benches in the league. I think the 2nd unit could be in the playoffs on their own tbh.
Pop badly outcoached Philibeaner in the Finals, and pulled a 37 year-old Duncan with no footspeed, not a 27 year-old prime Duncan. Miami getting the most improbable of improbable wins doesn't equate to Pop ting the bed.
You have the 1st unit, the 2nd unit and the emergency "break glass" unit. Jeff is part of the 3rd option. You cannot expect viable players in that region.
If Jeff is on the "emergency break glass unit" then there better be a gun behind it tbh.
The Spurs were underdogs, despite the "But Pop imbalances the otherwise..." . Spurs did more than they were expected to do. They did better against a more seasoned Heat team than the Thunder did against a less seasoned team. Spurs have no reason to hang their heads. They've played outside of their collective abilities for a couple years now.... you cannot about a WCF appearance followed by a Finals appearance for a team on the sunset of it's days. This is as good as it gets for fans... soak it in. There'll never be another franchise like this in our lifetimes.
That unit is only called upon when there are no other options. Jeff is a piece of , no doubt, but he has 6 fouls to give and can rebound on a D-league level. That's better than nothing. You won't get a guy his size on the end of the bench with more ability, no way.
Could you imagine the outcome if the Spurs and Heat traded coaches? Pop would have made Danny Green start putting the ball on the floor in Game 2 and the Heat win in 5. I can't believe Spoelstra didn't make such an obvious adjustment until an elimination game. I mean Pop got beat by LeBron James. Spoelstra came 28 seconds from getting beat by Danny Green.
Exactly. Given the talent level and the conference they play in, the Spurs have overachieved...there's maybe one more year after this one where this team will remain a contender...just gotta soak it in before the ship sinks imo
This is how almost every other fan in the league think about the Spurs.
"Bulls getting walloped by the best team in the NBA tonight.
The Spurs play the game the way it was meant to be played: solid fundamental team defense, with an offense that flows like water.
Having skilled players makes the game look so beautiful. I wish the Bulls could be more like that instead of having to grind out ugly wins all the time." - Chicago Bulls fan 03/11/2014
