I think coach Thibs is a good choice too, but then I would say Dwane Casey isn't far behind either since both teams were supposed to throw their seasons away but have turned around their seasons completely.
I agree that the Thunder are getting snubbed big time, but I think Westbrook's health as a lot to do with it. But at the same time, that doesn't explain Miller's pick of the Clippers winning in the Finals. Perhaps it is bias there.
I definitely am interested now in the MIP selections if these 2 players turn out to be the front runners. Many have said that Stephenson and DeRozan are emerging players, I think who wins the award will boost their confidence even more. I don't think I've ever seen DeRozan get this type of recognition, outside of all-star support.
