I know theres another topic about it, but that one focuses on Coach Clifford

 

Personally, I feel it shouldve gone to Hornacek. Everybody knows what Pop has been able to do in San Antonio, but Hornacek took that suns team to a completely different level.  To end up only one game out of the 8th seed in the west, after that Phoenix team was awful last year is pretty spectacular.

 

Obviously Thib in Chicago did amazing work with his superstar being injured again.

 

My personal rankings would've been

1) Hornacek

2)Thib

Tie at 3) Pop and Cliff

 

Like I said, what Pop's been doing is no surprise to anyone.

No doubt he deserves it with his team record and coaching again. I feel it should have gone to Hornacek though... If Suns made playoffs I think it would have. This is the reason why it should only be players/coaches/management voting and not sportswriters for these awards.

I have no problem giving Pop all the props in the world. I think he's consistently one of the best NBA coaches that we've seen. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around giving a guy whose team was basically one shot away from being NBA Champs the COY award for getting them back there again. The Spurs are good and have played great this season. But really COY?  

 

I thought it should come down to Cliff and Hornacek. Both of those coaches have gotten their teams to overachieve. Of course I'm a Hornets homer, but taking the Bobcats to 43 wins while Big Al was out for 20 games (and it's become obvious how important he is to their success) is one hell of a coaching job.

Coach of the year is odd. Do you give it to the coach of the best team? Phil Jackson has 10 more championships than he does Coach of the Year awards. Do you give it to the most overachieving team? History shows it generally takes at least 50 wins to get it. Only once since 2000 has the winner had under 50 wins. A debate that is similar to that of MVP.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      As good as our Oline has been running the ball, pass protection has been average at best.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Last year, Bryce was attempting and completing balls around and past 20 yards.  I mean he had 2 TDs that were ~20 yards in weeks 16 and 17. He had And he had one of the highest intended air yards per pass attempt in 2024, at 8.6. This put him at the same as Herbert, Jackson, Love, and many others.  He was well above the league average of 7 something. His average depth of target was 9th best in the league.  After week 10 he basically was one of the best deep passers in the league and has only one game without multiple 20 yard completions. The issue is this year, his average intended air yards is down to six. He isn't going deep at all, and when he is, he's missing people. He doesn't look good this year.

      So, Is Bryce Playing this Week or Nah?

      AT did come back and looking at AT now at Minnesota he has 5 catches for 47 yards and 0 TDs on the season.  Not sure he is some game changer on offense but yeah Bryce had good chemistry with him due to lack of options.   They get overhyped not doubt.  Just looking at last year, I liked him in the Chiefs game, Tampa right after (over 300 total yards 2 TDs and 0 turnovers, Chuba's fumble cost us the game if I remember correctly), he was fine in Arizona but wasn't asked to do anything as the running game carried us, and the Falcons game obviously.  Dallas last year was horrible he had like 2 fumbles and 2 INTs and it was during his post benching little run.  This year I liked what I saw in the Arizona rally (first quarter sucked), Dolphins rally for the win (learning to finish), and the Cowboys (some clutch throws and a solid winning drive).  He still has a lot of work to do to get an extension IMO, I'm just saying people are looking at some of those Dalton games through rose colored glasses....
