Remember when all the NBA coaches and media said it was a big mistake to fire Lloyd Pierce?

27-12 without him this year

that'll be a fun first round series with the Heat if the current seeding holds

Hawks going to be a tough out this year, probably won't make it past the second round but hey the 6ers could always collapse

if there is one top tier team that I could see shitting the bed against a high-scoring opponent, it's Milwaukee

but Philly is right behind them

It was apparent after they fired him how much the players hated him.

Started this season 14-20, since then they are 25-11 that's a 69% win percentage. Or roughly 49 wins of a 72 game season

And they went 2-1 in games Pierce had to miss due to other stuff

Atlanta in the playoffs is never something worth getting excited over. It’s only going to lead to disappointment.

I literally read social media comments as well as everyone else acting like firing Pierce was racially motivated. I know you did too.

Unrelated to thread: B the Suns might be the first ever 2 seed not to be favored in their first round playoff series.

Capela is a damn good player, I think the Rockets abandoning him to go full small ball cost em a shot at the title.

The Blazers have won 9 of their last 10 games. In that span they are 1st in offensive rating and 11th in defensive rating.

Here comes dame and them.

If they stay in the 5, It sets up nice for us.

Beat DEN then UTA and stotts saves his job

Capela had a foot injury when he was traded. Would not have been available to play in the playoffs had they began in April (pre COVID)
