NBA: *** Official 2014 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

I don't know. If he is fired, it is likely an issue separate from his on the court coaching performance. Rumors have been circulating that the front office doesn't like him/they don't get along for whatever reason. He as a coach has improved the team's record every year, and this year they lost in a close series to a really good Clippers team. So if he is gone, I don't think it is because of his ability to coach, and therefore having Bogut and winning may not have helped.
I suppose, but losing in the first round every year probably doesn't sit too well with that organization either.
 
I'm not sure how mugging Lowry before he got the ball wasn't a foul. But good defense by Pierce.
 
Does anyone else have a tiny screen in the top left hand corner of their screen for the spurs game?
 
Second round starts tonight! My take on the matchups -
WAS/IND - Pacers in six
MIA/BKN - Heat in six
SAS/POR - Spurs in five
OKC/LAC - OKC in seven (probably the most enticing matchup of the group, although MIA/BKN will be right up there if you like hard fouls and trash talk)

I don't know what to think of the Pacers yet, they've played better the last two games, but the Wizards are much better than the Hawks and with the Wizards having two legit bigs the Pacers are going to need Hibbert to prove he's really out of his funk and that game seven wasn't a fluke. I'm looking forward to the inevitable West-Nene scuffle at some point.

As for Miami, it seems like the Heat have been off for about a month now. Even though the Nets swept them in the regular season, I think Miami wins this series fairly easily. It will be nice to watch LeBron knock out KG and Pierce one more time.

Both series in the West should be highly entertaining, OKC-LAC could go either way, but with Paul banged up I would give the edge to OKC. Portland-Spurs should be very fun to watch, both teams can put up points, however I don't think Portland will be able to get enough stops to win.
