Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has repeatedly talked about not wanting to change things up too much from the regular season to the playoffs. This includes keeping the same demeanor he’s had throughout the season.

Kenny Atkinson received one of the most prestigious honors from coaches around the NBA for the Cavs' success in his first season in Cleveland.

Atkinson was selected as the Coach of the Year, which isn’t surprising considering the vast improvements Cleveland has made on both sides of the ball. The former NBA champion has done a tremendous job unlocking the Cavs offensively by having All-Star Evan Mobley shoot more threes to open up the paint.
