Who's going to win Coach of the Year? (alien.top)

I think Ime Udoka and Nick Nurse are the front-runners. Rocket's been exceeding expectations and might actually get into playoffs. 76ers are also performing better after they dropped Harden.

What do you guys think?

It's like 40 games too early to even begin to discuss this topic. This award really ends up being about final records vs expectations, and hot starts mean nothing. Rockets could very easily finish with 38 wins and Udoka's name wouldn't even come up in the conversation.

Sixers have been a 68%, 62%, and 66% WL% over the last 3 years - Nurse pretty much has to blow that mark away to win the award. Which seems highly unlikely. Harden may be more addition by subtraction than anything Nurse is doing.
