Mike Woodson, who may be the worst coach in the NBA but has been able to save his job because of the performance the Hawks have put on, is irate about Kevin Durant winning the award of Hawks rookie Al Horford.

“It’s a travesty and it’s not right,” Woodson said Wednesday night before Atlanta’s Game 5 loss to Boston, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “He should have shared it, if not gotten it outright. And I don’t want to hear about us not being on TV or anything like that. It doesn’t matter. It’s what this kid has done for this team.

“We haven’t had a power forward/center come in our league and do what he’s done [average a double-double] in I don’t know how many years,” Woodson said. “I mean, come on, man.”

Granted, this is coming from Mike Woodson, but the guy does pose a point: When was the last time a power forward/center came into the league and averaged a double-double? Beyond that, the Hawks are in the playoffs, and much of their success can be attributed to Horford’s good play, leadership, and fighting-back-at-Paul-Pierce-ness. The Hawks play game 6 tonight (yes, I’m going), and the way I see it, forget the ROY award — just win the damn first round.
