Which of these guys is getting CoY ? I'm guessing Bud because Kerr's a rookie and has Steph Curry.

You can argue that these two things balance out. Being a rookie coach is no easy task. The real difference is, being No. 1 in the West is totally different than in the East where you have two losing team holding down the 7th and 8th seed.

While this is true, the Hawks actually have a better winning percentage than the Warriors when it comes to vs. West teams. Hawks are fo' real.

Hawks - 13-3
Warriors - 23-7

It might be a higher winning percentage, but you have to keep in mind the Warriors have played the West more.
