Every coach looks good when they're coaching superstars(and winning), but this guy has been coaching his ass off all playoffs. The in game and post game adjustments have got them past philly and mil, and he's been driving Kerr crazy mixing in Box + 1 defense, and forcing GS to play big whenever he feels like it.
Pop and his entire coaching tree getting obliterated in a one year run by Masai + Nurse

Also this Raptors team has to be the most mentally tough team I've seen in a while. Seems like they've only blown a lead once or twice these entire playoffs. Gotta give props to Nurse for keeping his team composed, as well
when kawahi is so damn calm and collective it helps a lot
Odds now on KL staying? I hope he does but think LAL is his dream
If he goes to LA it will be with the Clippers
Kawhi has been part of quite a few come from behind, playoff losses...(up 3-2 in 2013, lost game 6/7...up 3-2 2015 lost game 6/7...2nd overall seed series tied 2-2 2016, lost game 5/6)
Nick Nurse
Don’t forget about the backdoor sweep against OKC in 2012 tbh.
Pop brought the box and 1 on Curry first tbh
It was his dream until Lebron signed there. You can see Kawhi and his group's enthusiasm for the Lakers wane overnight after that signing. Suddenly, they were open to being traded to other teams like NY or Philly. I don't think it has anything to do with Lebron the player but more so Klutch and the surrounding circus that comes with that baggage. They want to build Kawhi as a brand and Lebron/Klutch suck all the air out of the room in LA. It's still possible he signs there but Lebron's going to have to be very up front about being the sidekick/beta in that duo. The last thing Kawhi wants is to do go down as another Pippen.
