Lakers Forum: 2014 NBA Playoffs Predictions

[DEEP3CL]

I know I picked the Clippers to take this round 1 series against the Warriors in 6 games, but I'm really hoping the Warriors advance.

Yeah I did too, but only because of all the stuff that had came out of the Warriors camp over the last few weeks. But watching that game and watching Mark Jackson coach it the way he did, I ask myself why in hell do the Warriors want to fire him ? Who the hell do they think they can get that's better for that team ?

That's what's wrong with today's NBA. Coaches aren't given too long to grow with their team. It's like every team expects immediate championships or bust. Not every team has the roster to accommodate the coach's game plans. Great coaches adjust their system to their roster (lol @ MDA), but even the adjustments can't fix bad players.
I mean, when a coach wins 50+ wins and gets fired, you know there's something wrong.
