At the midway point of the season, it's probably safe to say that given how the Cavs have played, J.B. Bickerstaff is in the conversation.
Where does Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff stand in the NBA Coach of the Year race?CLEVELAND, Ohio -- We’re about halfway through the 2021-22 NBA season, and its safe to say at this point that the Cavaliers have continued to defy expectations.
After losing three of their first four , the Suns went on a franchise-record 18-game winning streak. Even after that winning streak ended, they won seven of their next nine. After three down years for the Cavs post-LeBron James’ exit, maybe most importantly, Bickerstaff has gotten the whole team to buy into an underdog mentality. Players are focused on playing for each other and as a result, the Cavs already surpassed their win total from last season in about half the games.Billy Donovan, Bulls
