I'm looking at Nuggets Clippers in the WF, barring injuries. There were years that George and Kawhi were injured but now I see Harden and Westbrook as good contributors. These 2 are good in assists and that's valuable to help the younger players.
Bucks had a shocking loss to the Jazz who are now in the final place for the Play In. 1-3 now for Doc.

So the former bucks coach when fired. at mid season had 12 losses with 31 wins and Doc is now 1-3 and coach of the EC ASG
That's another shock. The pressure is really on for Doc. Mike Breen was joking that Doc could not stand the stress of broadcasting and went back in coaching.So the former bucks coach when fired. at mid season had 12 losses with 31 wins and Doc is now 1-3 and coach of the EC ASG
I suddenly thought that we may be lucky that it is Doris and not Ramona as Breen's sidekick.
I have a wild hunch that Perk may have been interviewed to replace Doc on the ABC broadcasts. The guy is a certified clown, and could fit well in the whole scheme of Adam's vision.

well at half time I knew the Lakers were going to beat Charlotte as they had a large led however by the 4th period I wasn't really certain. Had the game gone a minute longe the Hornets could have tied or won the game. They just ran out of clock
However the new look Lakers beat the Hornets 124 -118

Watch the last few minutes and I'm surprised that the only name in the Hornets' starting 5 that I'm familiar with is Miles Bridges . Just not too long ago they were in the process of rebuilding and got LaMelo , Hayward (both injured now) and Rozier (traded ). I understand Jordan is still a minority owner but not sure if he still calls the shots on top but they are now relegated to the lottery once again. They gave Hayward $30m for 4 years basically for very little payback. I just learned Kupchak is the GM.

so many good teams in the EC that I can't predict the top 4 except to say Boston will finish 1st. But tonight the Cavs are the hot team as they are now in 2nd ahead of the Bucks and the Knicks are alone in 4th place and believe it, but the Sixers are in 5th place. Such a flurry of great teams that anything is possible
Cavaliers look really good. Young team. Twin towers and twin guards. Somebody may jump in to feed on this greener pasture.

Sad end to Embiid's bid for a repeat MVP and certainly the Sixers have felt his absence as they are now in 5th place

Lakers finally got Jared VanDerbilt healthy and back on the court until he injured his foot. He plays strong defense and will be missed
Vanderbilt suffered the injury on Feb. 1 during Los Angeles’ 114-105 victory in Boston. He scored 10 points with seven rebounds and three steals in 16 minutes before he was ruled out for the remainder of the matchup.
Vanderbilt’s defensive prowess has been key for the Lakers, though injuries have sidelined him throughout the first half of the season. Vanderbilt is averaging 5.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29 games.
The setback to Vanderbilt adds to a growing list of injury woes for the Lakers who are also without Cam Reddish (ankle sprain) and Gabe Vincent (knee surgery recovery).

I've learned over many years that if something ain't broken, it doesn't need fixing. Case in point was the Milwaukee Bucks who were doing really well and challenging the Celtics for the number one in the EC, But then along comes Doc Rivers who IMO was as good as a lump of coal sitting next to Doris and Mike doing the commentary for ESPN. Milwaukee management gets this brain wave to fire their first year coach who has done so well and hire Doc Rivers to win the championship. Along the way he quickly became the coach of the EC AST but this little thing called hubris got in the way as Doc now has a record of 1-4 with the Bucks who were doing just fine until the coach was fired.
Looking at Docs final years in Boston and where he coached next I always found his coaching style to be the same. he could never adapt to the times and IMO he has been underwhelming these last few years. He was even terrible as a commentator for ESPN. I have always said he would do better in upper management and front office rather than behind the bench. We just never know what dumb ideas will pervade the minds of these multibillionaire owners who will do anything for a ring. So far Doc has yet to convince me he is the answer

My son alerted me into this Giannis walk out. Fuels the rumor mill. Agree, Steve, the Bucks shouldn't have fired a winning coach. But I'd go further and say they should not not fired Bud last season.
