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

  Memphis vs Indiana

  Houston - Dallas
  LAC - San Antonio
  
  Atlanta - Brooklyn
  Toronto - Washington

  Chicago - Milwaukee
  
  Indiana wins...

  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?
• BR1986FB

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

  Decent chance you will be done after the first round.
• gport_tennis

  Clippers/spurs winner makers the finals
• gport_tennis

  And I say that mostly because I think the spurs are going to win
• Pick6

  

  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.
• gport_tennis

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

  

  Yeah, he's meh and GS will win in 5.
• gport_tennis

  I'm glad the pelicans made it, better healthier team than the thunder

  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!
