The CHGO Bulls crew discuss whether Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has a strong enough case to be considered for the NBA's Coach of the Year award. Obviously, the frontrunners are Kenny Atkinson and Mark Daigneault, whose teams are leading the East and West, respectively. JB Bickerstaff will likely also garner several votes for the immense turnaround for his playoff-bound Pistons. Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb take a closer look at what Donovan has accomplished with the Bulls, given all the challenges and obstacles his team faced. Plus, the guys review a fun “What If” trade scenario had the Mavericks fielded other offers for Luka Doncic. And Tim Legler joins to talk Coby White, Matas Buzelis and more!
Well, we might be a little prejudice toward some players and a coach from Northern California, but it's a good question that makes for some great discussion.
This week's 5 takeaways from the NBA are: - Nuggets/Celtics may have been a legit Finals preview - Jacque Vaughn is my NBA Coach Of The Year front runner right now. - My apologies to Donovan Mitchell - Zion Williamson out a few weeks MIGHT hurt the Pelicans in terms of the standings. - Teams that might be selling before the trading deadline Follow EJ on Twitter @EJChristian7 & follow the show on Twitter @HuddleUpPodcast Subscribe to the show on ALL podcast platforms & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@HuddleUpPodcast) You can get your Huddle Up Podcast merch on TeePublic at https://www.teepublic.com/user/huddle-up-podcast --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/huddle-up-podcast/support
The NBA season tipped off this week but it's not too late to look ahead at the big awards — MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, etc. — and not just make a prediction on who will win, but talk about how to bet them. And bet those NBA futures wisely. When thinking MVP, it's not just the player but is the team winning enough? With Rookie of the Year, it's about volume. Can another guard get the Defensive Player of the Year award? Drew Dinsick of NBC Sports Edge joins Kurt Helin and Corey Robinson of NBC Sports to talk title and award predictions, what the archetype is for players who win that award, and who everyone is picking. There's a lot of Joel Embiid love for MVP, and Jordan Poole is a Sixth Man favorite.

Who was the MVP for the first half of the NBA season: Joel Embiid? LeBron James? Nikola Jokic? Is LaMelo Ball running away with Rookie of the Year? What about Coach of the Year, should it be Quin Snyder with the Jazz? Tom Thibodeau with the Knicks? Don't sleep on the job that Gregg Popovich is doing with the Spurs.

The NBA has no chill — we were talking MVP race the first week of the season. Which is way too early. However, now teams are more than halfway through the season and we have seen enough games, we have enough data to start discussing who is the frontrunner for the NBA's end-of-season awards. Is it James Harden or Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? Can anyone challenge Luka Doncic for Rookie of the Year? It's a deep field for Coach of the Year, but is Mike Budenholzer the front runner and can Doc Rivers, Dave Joerger or someone else catch him? Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports talk about their picks at this point of the season and who is in the running long term.
James Harden or LeBron James for NBA MVP? Donovan Mitchell or Ben Simmons for NBA Rookie of the Year? Out of a crowded field who should be the NBA Coach of the Year? It's a fascinating field and debate, and while the NBA will not announce the official winners until late June, Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports give you their picks and get into all of the NBA's postseason awards in this podcast. The tough debates include who is on the second and third team All-NBA, as well as second team Rookie of the Year. Kurt and Dan get into them in detail.
Drew, Justin, and CJ discuss the positive moments and memories for the Memphis Grizzlies 2015-2016 regular season. Then the group is joined by Keith from the FastBreak Podcas to discuss NBA Coach of the Year, the chances that Dave Joerger is the head coach in Minnesota Next season, and more.
When you think about it, when you really think about it, the only thing of any value in the NBA that is in any way associated with New England is Brett Brown. And he's all ours. We were lucky enough to have the 2014-15 NBA Coach Of The Year on the Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast. He was as charming as you'd imagine. As an aside, we will have ALL Lottery Party details, as well as t-shirts sales up and running this week. The shirts are bananas, and the party will be bananas. May 19th at Buffalo Wild Wings at 9701 Roosevelt Blvd in the Northeast.
