Doc Rivers Absolutely Should Have Won Coach of the Year

Last night during the NBA Awards, Mike Budenholzer of the Milwaukee Bucks won the 2019 Coach of the Year. This award should have belonged to the LA Clippers Doc Rivers.

Look, Budenholzer is very much deserving. He took the Bucks from a middling playoff team to having the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Some of his stats? Last season, Milwaukee ranked 25th in three point attempts. This year? They moved all the way up to second. This increase in attempts helped them to become the top scoring team in the league. They also became the number one ranked team in defensive efficiency.
