Once more the Curse of the COTY award will get a coach fired soon after receiving it.
[QUOTE=Clutch]"Coach of the year" coached his team out of the playoffs once again and there's no Melo and J.R. to blame them for that anymore.[/QUOTE]
It's a regular season award though.
57 wins, 3rd seed in the west with no stars or a go to guy. No brainer.
[COLOR="White"][B]Bernie Bickerstaff was robbed for Coach of the Year.[/B][/COLOR]
It's not based on the regular season and first round. Nuggets were great in the reg season, franchise high 57 wins
So he took his non-all-star team to the third seed in the west, I don't see how that's a horrible choice. Remember it's an award for the regular season, so the playoffs disappointment isn't really a factor there
in the last 14 years he missed the playoffs 1 time and was eliminated 11 times in the first round. ow, and with players like ray allen, glen robinson, sam cassell, michael redd, kenyon martin, carmelo anthony.
hope he enjoys his award he is used to having free time in early may.
:biggums:
career achievement award
Thibs won that shit. What a robbery.
The fact that Thibodeau was eighth in the voting is simply laughable.
Anyway, I'm surprised. I thought it would be Mark Jackson.
Lionel Hollins had a midseason trade that brought in 3 new rotation players while trading ther leading scorer. People say Memphis was fhrough. Some experts had Denver as a top 4 seed anyway so its not ike he exceeded expectations.
It's a regular season award and Denver overachieved during the regular season. I'm ok with it.
[QUOTE=macmac]Sam Mitchell and mike brown got the boot shortly after[/QUOTE]
Mike Brown was still there for another season before he got fired though. I don't of any coach who fired the same summer they won it.
Thibs is the coach of the year, finishing 8th is a joke. This guy has players dropping like flies... Luol Deng is clinging to life.
horrible coach. he sucks and always chokes in the playoffs. can never outcoach anyone
