I don't understand, maybe I'm missing something. Mark Jackson is a good coach and his players absolutely love him. not his fault Bogut was hurt and they were just minutes away from forcing an upset in the first round over the LA Clippers. If we fired a coach every time we didn't make it to the 2nd round ... oh yeah.

There are bigger problems in the GSW front office than any of us know. That's the only explanation for this.

Really surprised that the GSW actually did fire him. There must be some real serious issues behind the scenes. Would love for Curry to wind up in Charlotte. Would love it.

Of course but I've learned over the last two years not to get my hopes up in wishing the Heat lose. But it's always a warm feeling when they do. Lol

I don't hate either team with a burning passion like I do the Lakers, but god damn both teams do rub me the wrong way fairly often. Is there a way we can make both teams lose?

It would be the sweetest joy for me to see the Heat lose. I work with one of their biggest bandwagoners and he throw their success in my face at every chance.

The Heat are beatable if you have wings that can shoot to take advantage of their over aggressive defense.

I don't think they're beatable unless you've got a star or two to rival them.

The Pacers almost beat them without a superstar. You don't need a superstar to beat them but you need players that are good enough to take advantage of the opportunities when the ball is swung.

True, but Roy Hibbert played out of his mind that series. Not sure where that Roy Hibbert went.

Id laugh if Curry demanded a trade. Be nice to have him here.

That's a example of a player taking advantage of opportunites when the ball is swung to him. Miami's interior defense is weak not just because they play small ball but also because they play aggressive on the perimeter. They aren't like most teams that pack the paint. They play passing lanes.

It's not as painful when you accept the inevitable. They are just too good. Lebron paired up with Wade is unfair. That's the reason why I can only give Lebron but so much credit to his legacy each championship he's won in the Big 3 era. You could throw Durant or Melo between Wade and Bosh and they'd win the championship too.
