I agree with a lot of the criticism directed at Mark Jackson, but I don't think he deserves to get fired. Or, another way, there are few upgrades out there.

Unpopular Opinion Puffin: Elgin Baylor and Baron Davis notwithstanding, most of the Clippers players and Doc Rivers probably didn't suffer much if at all at the hands of Donald Sterling. I don't feel compelled to feel sorry for a team of douches that their checks were signed by a racist.

That said, go kick OKC's butt.

Come back to the NBA! The 2000's turned a lot of people off, but the league's been in a really good place for a couple years now. Offenses have gotten more sophisticated to counteract the Celtics/Bulls defenses of the late 2000's, and you can find beautiful ball movement/execution in just about every series (besides OKC vs. Memphis.)

Yupyup watching these playoffs has had me really impressed since I am used to only watching college ball (along with my own play) the past couple years. My mind is constantly blown.

Mark Jackson did pretty well considering no bogut. Hardly worth firing unless you've got a Memphis mentality.

I don't know the situation with that, but I know that is definitely a factor to consider. See Marty Schottenheimer with the Chargers.

I cant believe Blatche has played this many minutes in this series. That + Jermaine O'Neals injury being important in another series is just sad.

Blatche is an offensive force, when BK were slumping he was their most reliable scorer despite coming off the bench.

Because this is prime time for Sunday, as far as I can tell.

Same exact play, Raps got shafted on the no charge call on the Nets offensive possession. But the Raptors really need to rebound the ball, otherwise they won't get back into this game.
