Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 If Bud doesn't get this, the NBA hates us...like they always have hated us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebert Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 However, both Bud and Kerr will have a lot of years to win this award. They are two GREAT coaches, both deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Records from the previous should be considered. We were not even a legitimate playoff team last year. Edited April 15, 2015 by GameTime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Kerr can keep it...Bud will get the LOB trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) It's funny how some were talking about the Hawks getting into the playoffs last year with a losing record and rarely made mention of all the injuries particularly Al, but now as it relates to Bud and COTY the losses were only because we didn't have Al or the record would have been better, smh.

JETSET Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Kerr can keep it...Bud will get the LOB trophy. Not so fast JB. The Coach of the Year trophy is muy importante this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 @jaybirdhawk: they're not going to beat the spurs or warriors without thebo. Hawks depend on team play and defense to win the big ones, and bazemore isn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wretch Posted April 15, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Saw that today... I think you gotta look at where we were vs. where we are....with what we have. We're a talented team, but there is absolutely no way we are this good without Bud. He has done a phenomenal job and is the rightful COTY. Funny thing is, you know Bud doesn't give a flying frog about it. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's also funny is how Boston getting in with a worse record is widely considered proof that Brad Stevens invented the game of basketball. If the Celtics win a game they might rename the LOB trophy the Brad Stevens Trophy. I mean, dude has done a really good job but let's pump the breaks a little bit. That's still the absolute worst division in basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLHawks3 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I definently think that a guy who took an 8th seed team from last year into a 1st seed team this year without any major acquisitions that offseason definently should win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spursfanpeacemaker Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Coach Kerr did a great job with the warriors. But i think Coach bud still deserves it because Coach Kerr's team is more talented.. They have Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, they can score 20-30 points every night.. Coach Bud didn't have any superstars or go to guy like Thompson , and Curry. He shaped Hawks in a " Team Basketball mentality culture" and focus on player growth development. Hawks is having a lot of success because of it.. Hawks are now number 1 seed now, Last year they were in the 8th seed. That's a big improvement, and they will keep improving in the next following years. Also, i think Coach Casey of Raptors should also be a candidate for Coach of the year, He did an unbelievable job with the Raptors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Also dont forget that while the Hawks have somewhat slipped and G.S. has the better record, a large part of that is Bud sat people to rest. While you can argue whether or not thats good for the team you cant argue the fact that it proves Bud only cares about the long term sucess of the team. He couldnt give a flying fuk less about some individual award. Edited April 15, 2015 by NJHAWK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I don't think the Hawks had a good enough second half for Bud to get it... I had him winning it at the all star break though. I had it like this at the all star breaK: Bud Kidd Kerr Two of those teams fell off.

bumpyphish1 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Had Bud wanted or needed to win 65+ games, we easily could have. We COASTED down the stretch, only remotely trying against BKN twice. Essentially, it should be judged as they both won a lot of games. Kerr won the West. Bud took a team with a losing record and ran away with the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakin Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) How can you have an MVP candidate and coach of the year on the same team? Isn't that some kind of oxymoron? No matter what happens this post season, I'll take Bud over Kerr all day. Edited April 16, 2015 by Dakin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have a hard time believing anyone else getting this team to 60 wins other than Pop. Did anyone have the Warriors winning 40-43 games before the season started? I'm not going to discredit what Kerr has done but if Bud had Kerr's team, he would've been resting guys in January... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks were tabbed as an 8 seed and in some cases not even making the playoffs. They picked the Knicks, Hornets and Pistons ahead of us in some cases.

JonKoncak Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I think Brad Stevens deserves some credit. Look at the team he has coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankWhite Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Kerr deserves a ton of credit. They've been a historically great team through the regular season... Buuuuuut I don't think if you switch coaches, you'd get the same results. Bud could coach the Warriors to the top seed in the West, but does anyone have Kerr getting us to 60 wins?
