Don't you think the Toronto coach should be Coach of the Year. Van Gundy team should be winning even with the injuries.

I narrowed my choices to Van Gundy, Sam Mitchell, and Jerry Sloan.
I was set to pick Sloan until the Jazz hit the skids this month.
Then, I thought about choosing Sam when the Rockets started losing.
In the end, I picked JVG because the Rockets clinched the 4th spot in the West.
I have no qualms with anyone who votes for Coach Mitchell.
This season had a lot of good choices for COY.

Do you feel better now?
Just so you know, I picked the Rockets to win 52 games on the radio -- in October.
I believe they finished 52 and 30.
Thanks for your post -- as 'Anonymous'. You're so bad.

one more thing, as soon as 'street cred' starts paying my bills is when I begin caring about it.
