Were they losing because they suited up women? Becky Hammon(Spurs assistant coach) at the PG?

Memphis vs Indiana

Memphis wins...
GSW - New Orleans
Portland - Memphis
Houston - Dallas
LAC - San Antonio

Atlanta - Brooklyn
Toronto - Washington
Cleveland - Boston
Chicago - Milwaukee

Indiana wins...
GSW - New Orleans
Portland - San Antonio
Houston - Dallas
LAC - Memphis

Atlanta - Indiana
Toronto - Washington
Cleveland - Boston
Chicago - Milwaukee

Atlanta vs Indiana would be a rematch of last seasons 1st round matchup, only with this season the seeds have flipped. This was mentioned on Mike and Mike this morning by Tim Legler and he thinks this could be the first time this has ever happened with the #1 and #8 seeds.

PG literally carried off the court by teammates. The Pacers playoff chances diminishing...

All 5 teams in the Southwest division make the playoffs. Has that ever happened before?

This is epic. Dolan's brother (Tribe owner) would never do anything like this....

Its too bad the Thunder didn't make the playoffs. Would have been entertaining to see what Russ would do vs the Warriors. Props to Davis and the Pelicans for beating the Spurs last night though. Hopefully they give Golden St all they can handle.

Hear they are looking to fire Brooks. Not sure I'd agree with it.

I'd fire him because he is a sub par coach. Not because they missed the playoffs

Looking at the list, I gave my rankings and I think Spoelstra is definitely top half and arguably fringe top 10. You could make an argument for him anywhere from 10-15ish so we're not that far off, I just don't think he's definitely bottom 15 because I can't find 15 coaches that I find unequivocally better.
In a vacuum spoelstra is top 5

Certainly a top 2 player all time but I'd still take Lebron James over him any day of the week.

It must be tough digging that shit out of your ears from the constant cranial enema you give LBJ.

Not sure why everyone just auto assumes that MJ is the best and will always be the best. Lebron is better; sorry!
