We have NBA coaches under the most pressure to win this NBA season. Number five, Kenny Atkinson, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach. He took over the team this year over from JB bigger staff. JB bigger staff is obviously doing a great job down there in Detroit.
But Kenny Atkinson under number five, most pressure to win because he has a ready now team. Dr. Dimitio faces a lot of questions as to can he be a leader? Is that back court too small?
But we see that they're winning 80% of the game, so he is under pressure this year to win. And number four, JJ Redick. The LA Lakers job always comes with a lot of pressure. They started off hot, hit a low, made a trade, got Luca Legend, shot off to Chris Bussard, giving him that nickname.
And they had one or they come back down to Earth a little bit, but they've had a stretch where they were one of the best defenses in the league. We see that all the questions that I had in terms of LeBron and Luca coexisting, it's a thing, they can and they are scary. So he is definitely under pressure to win. Number three, Ty Lou with the LA Clippers, right?
He has two future Hall of Famers on Esquadd and Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Obviously they have had a tumultuous season in terms of the longevity of Ty Lou being there and previous to Ty Lou, Doc Rivers. It has never panned out the way that he needs to, but Ty Lou is definitely under pressure to win this season. And number two, we just talked about him, Doc Rivers.
Now this was made before the Damian Lillard injury with the blood clot. However, taking over a coach that has won 70% of his games, you coming in and barely over 500 with arguably the best player in the NBA, Doc Rivers is under pressure to win. And at number one, Nick's favorite. All right, I know he's going, how?
There it goes. Wow. How's it's insane. That's insane.
It's not insane. Tom Thibidot is under pressure to win for multiple two of reasons. Number one, they have been knocking on the door. They finally made the trade.
However, his players, not only from the New York to the Eastwood, the Chicago Bulls and every other place that he's been, have always complained about the amount of time that they get on the court. And we see that it affects injuries. If Tom Thibidot can't get to the Eastern Conference Finals, that man is on there. And that is your top five power rankings of coaches under most pressure.
You can switch three in one, because Ty Lou is under most pressure. Okay. Uh, Fifo, do you know who the head coach's name is for the OKC? That's why he make the list because you don't know his name.
Now he's not under pressure. He ain't on pressure. No, no. That's insane.
That's insane. You have to have to have the MVP on your roster to have number one seat in the West and to be heavily favored to get to the finals. It's not. And if they don't even, so you tell me that the OKC Thunder don't make it to the West Conference final that that's not surprising.
He'll be under pressure next year, but not this season. This is when now today or you're gone. These five guys, even though, Kenny, I said this is his first year in Cleveland, but he took over a ready-made team right now. So I was going to say like, how you going to put Kenny Akas in there?
Not the dude from OKC when he won 50-something games last year because OKC is a home-grown project. The Cleveland Cavs have been growing and they've taken a jump with Kenny Akas in under the helm. He has they have to make it to the Eastern Conference final. And we're looking at Tyloo to win anything.
What do you mean? They should be. Yes. Tyloo going to win he out.
You're making all these moves to bring these back. That's cool. That's cool. That's really good.
Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah, that's really cool. I do a great. I thought you didn't want it.
You should be number one. That's what I'm trying to say. You know, I mean, you don't think your team is on the first of the win games. You know, I can't.
We got Jayden Brunson two of the best players that we've had in a long time. I didn't say I did say you shouldn't be on the list. I didn't say you shouldn't be on the list. I don't think you should be on the list.
I think that head coach, OKC should be number one. I'm cool with time number two. No, I don't know where. No, I don't know where.
No, I don't know where. Okay, so you don't have to. Okay, so you don't have to. Okay, so you don't have to write for you.
You're not looking disappointing. They don't win at young. And like people say, they're on the right trajectory. You got young players.
You got a coach they believe in. Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau has to win now. He has to win the Ross that he has.
First of all, who starts that job? We should have known that he wasn't going to win shit. Well, and losing game is going to really, I mean, it's the first round. And now that it's.
