Coach of the Year Finalist - Mike D'Antoni Houston Rockets, Eric Erik Spoelstra  Miami Heat, Gregg Popovich San Antonio Spurs Mike D'Antoni is my favorite to win this award. The main thing I look for in a Coach of the Year is the turnaround in team record. Last season the Rockets were 41-41 and turned it around to 55-27. Popovich is a mainstay as a  Coach of the Year finalist. The Spurs have been title contenders for as far back as I can remember. Surprised Eric Spoelstra a finalist. I like the job he's doing with Hassan Whiteside and that roster but the Heat missed the playoffs. Feel like Utah's Quin Snyder should've been a finalist. The Jazz missed the playoffs last season and had a losing record. This season Utah finished 5th in the west and knocked out the favorite L.A. Clippers.

 Yesterday's Game 1 one matchup couldn't have been going any better for the San Antonio Spurs in which they jumped out to a 14 point lead at the end of the first quarter and eventually adding to that going into half leading by 20 points and holding that high powered Warriors offense to only 42 points. Steph Curry came out cooking in the second half even before Kawhi went down in which he hosted 19 of his 40 in the 3rd but the obvious changing moment in the game was when Kawhi attempted a jump shot and ZaZa Pachulla who has a history of questionable plays closed out and Kawhi Leonard landed on his foot reinjuring that left ankle that kept him out of Game 6 vs the Houston Rockets. bing Was it a dirty play? In my opinion it was a basketball play that was committed by a dirty player so he really can't get the benefit of the doubt. It is a play we see happen multiple times over the course of a season, and in the game of basketball it is a surprise that it doesn't happen...
