It's been a strange year for NBA awards. Incumbent winners from Golden State, however, feel oddly removed from the whole process, yet notably verbal. The Warriors once again have the NBA's best record, but voter fatigue, a rash of deserved candidates and the team's own 2016 postseason disappointments have Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry's respective 2016 Coach of the Year and MVP awards looking somewhat distant in scope in comparison to what James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Erik Spoelstra or Gregg Popovich could grab this season in corresponding categories.
