favored and didn't fall off like others did. I also credit Spo with getting his team to play way over their heads in the bubble. Just not as much. In some ways its easier to come in as the 5 or 6 seed upstart when nobody is gunning for than when you are the favorite.

without 3 HOF'ers on his team?
and Nick Nurse had so much fall into his lap from Kawhi, to Lebron going west, to KD's achilles, now he's a certified genius and his assistants are getting jobs they don't deserve.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

young guys like Herro and Robinson, also Jimmy having 40 point triple doubles in the Finals something he has never done at any point in his career.
So yes, last year's playoff was a unique circumstance on many levels, outside of that 1 bubble postseason what has he done without 3 HOF'ers on his team? That same team is currently 2 games under .500 this season. Should we look at him as a bubble coach?
