Thibs has done an amazing job. He turned Ray Allen & Paul Pierce into decent defenders while in Boston so I figured he would do the same here with our easily coachable & hard working roster.

It's a bit early for COY talk but I would put him in the conversation. But as of right now, Popovich is COY by a large margin. The way he & his staff have retooled their offense to better fit their roster has been a revelation. If someone told me at the beginning of the season that Duncan would avg 14ppg in less than 30mpg & the Spurs would be the best team in the league, I would've recommended a psych evaluation.
