4. Steve Kerr vs David Blatt
No NBA experience, no problem for both Kerr and Blatt who are both in their rookie coaching years in the league and have made it look relatively easy.
Kerr has certainly made it look easier, but the way in which Blatt has silenced the critics and proven that he is more than capable of taking control of this team and leading them forward is admirable.
The pair will be reunited after Kerr had initially tried to bring the former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach on board as one of his assistants, but fate works in funny ways and now they cross paths again looking to mastermind a championship-winning team.
Both have faced adversity, Blatt more so, and their adjustments in-game and between encounters will be key as to who takes control of the series and can build momentum.
