Doc the GM is the problem.

Clippers bench is absolutely awful.

DeAndre is basically only good for put-backs, Barnes isnt that good, Redick has developed good but isnt a #3 option on a title team.

Spurs are looking good.
 
Have to give it to Wittman. I complained about lack of Porter use and not player Pierce at the 4 all year long. He just wanted to wait till the playoffs to unleash them. Brilliant.
 
Haven't seen much of that series, but the little bit I have Washington has looked pretty good.

Gonna be a good quarterfinals series between them and the Hawks.

Should go 7 games and hopefully the Wizards can give Cleveland a run for their money in the ECF.

I wouldnt sleep on the Bulls vs Cle, thats gonna be a war, those teams hate each other.
 
Kinda like Scott Brooks situation. I think there are far better coaches around though it's not "easy" to find a better coach. His biggest problems are sticking with Butler and Webster over Otto and geriatric offensive sets (and reliance on mid range jumpers). He's done better in the playoffs, but they are also facing a terrible defensive team.

I'd like an upgrade at coach, but I will take winning playoff games with Wittman over losing them with a new coach.

I definitely agree with that last paragraph. At least it means your roster has talent which is far more important than what coach you have.

But man that guy is atrocious. It makes me sad to see young Wall being put to waste with the vanillahood offense.

Part of problem is they don't really have any dynamic offensive players except Wall. Beal can shot but isn't great in transition. Otto is good in structure. Pierce is a catch and shoot guy. Gortat/Nene are fairly skilled. But while ok offensive players, not like you can get out in transition and do much

I would wager to say that they have as much offensive talent as Atlanta and San Antonio, and more than teams like Boston, Utah, Phoenix,etc. Except, some how some way, those teams have a higher offensive efficiency rating.

If the Wizards can find a legitimate coach (like you said, it's not hard), it would fix a lot of the fatal flaws that they have. Alvin Gentry is a guy that would make a lot of sense.

And I would be angered if Wittman gets the chance to coach the Durant/Wall/Beal era. Durant deserves a creative coach.
 
This is why nobody respects or expects the Hawks to do well. Offense is all predicated on jump shots. When you shoot around 30% you aren't gonna win. Perhaps the weakest one seed of all time.

I dont see how they have as talented an offense as Atlanta. Its really just John Wall. Gortat is skilled but limited bc hes just slow. Nene takes too many bad shots. Beal is pretty limited at this point.

Bc they lost on the road in the playoffs?

No. They have struggled all series long. Couldn't put away a Nets team in game one or two. The same Nets team that are only in the playoffs because Orlando flopped the last game of the season. The same Nets team who has a losing record.

Winning = putting teams away
 
Bucks hanging tough tonight. At least this series has been sort of competitive. Mukwaukee is gonna be a good team moving forward.
 
Whoever this announcer is (Jon Berry?) is echoing my statements on Draymond Green. Good supporting player
