    Yep. That's what you do with good coaches.

    Imagine how many of these he'd win if he didn't suck like a lot of people think he does

    There should be no resurrection of the "Fire Stotts" thread this week.

    This is more of a list of coaches who I think are doing well and their team is out performing their talent.
    Nurse (but thats probably taken out by the caveats above).
    McMillan is doing a good job.

    Im going to take a ton of heat for these two, but Clifford and Spoelstra I think are doing well too considering I think the talent they have is pretty bad.
    Kenny Atkinson too.

    I dont even think Stotts is doing a bad job right now, but his lack of situational awareness and lack of ability to adjust is still prevalent right now, and those things tend to hurt the team in the playoffs.

    Malone is doing a great job working with the players he has. Of course he has bad nights like all coaches do. But Malone has made some good moves. Even while missing the playoffs for three years straight. One decision he made was to choose Jokic. That move alone was a great move. Then he tweaked his team to work around a player that is becoming one of if not the most dominant Big in the game. He is a players coach to no end. Much like Stotts.

    Though id also like to see even more looks with all the options we have, it seems he has been opening it up a little bit more and a little bit more over the last month or so. Sticking with collins over meyers in the second half of toronto is just one example. The key to me will be when turner is back. Will laymans minutes see a dip? They better not.

    Jokic is a definite all star but not yet Super Star status.

    My bet is he will be. Very durable and he is getting better. He has the type of game and body that will last. I watched some of the passes and moves he is making and he is totally unstoppable at times.

    I think he’s superstar status if he plays just about anywhere else... Could you believe they hype if he was in California or the north east???

    Probably true. What if he was in LA on the Clippers?

    What's funny is I feel like Malone was thought of as a bad coach around the league until this year.

    Jokics biggest setback to becoming a superstar is location and personality. Both are frowned upon by the national media that creates superstars. Location is not a big media market and he isnt a very flammatory personality.
