We’re about 20% of the way through the season now with most teams having played ~16 games. Do you have any hot takes so far on the season?

    My take that Kidd would win coach of the year got me laughed out of /r/mavericks, but it’s reasonable at this point. I don’t think he wins it over Ime or Mosley, but he’s in the conversation.

      Ime is totally the frontrunner. COTY is the most narrative driven award. Going from bottom feeder with Silas to one of the better teams on all measures when everyone expected them to be near the bottom is the narrative that the voters love

        I think if we’re a top 6 seed, Ime should be a lock for COTY. If we’re in the play-in, maybe not a lock but it’ll be a tight race between Ime and Mosley, and given how the Celtics are looking, if Mazzulla can get those guys to over 60 wins, that’ll be hard to take the award away from him.
