OKC looks really good, but they're trying to win championships. Do they have enough to get by Memphis (probably), Clippers, and Warriors in the playoffs?

Warriors ? Easily

You gotta be drunk.

Somewhere Mike Brown is laughing at Mike Antoni and the Lakers for firing him.

So why did Mike Black get fired for not reaching expectations but Mike D'Antoni is below .500 with a larger sample size and allowed to continue?

it's obviously because Mike Brown is black.

Because even the Lakers can't afford to continue firing coaches and paying the rest of their salary while paying a new one to actually do the job.

OKC have not shown me they can get by the Grizzlies or Clippers yet. Neither team just looks that much better than each other when they matchup. If the top of the West move to the 2nd round, that's going to be one of the best 2nd rounds in I don't know how long. Two great series. I'll prefer a Grizz/Spurs and OKC/LAC matchups.

Cos they can't fire two coaches in one season. They would look even more stupid

 

[vrai1]

@DatZNasty: Because it would require Jim & Jerry Buss to swallow their pride & hire the soon to be in-law - & pay very dearly for snubbing him the first time.

I think whichever team OKC has to face will have an incredible series. OKC and the Clips would be fun as hell to watch. Grizzlies might **** up though when they move Rudy...I doubt the compensation puts them over the top.


And I'm late as hell....Lillard from Oakland though

MB had a lot against him from last year as well.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Mike Brown to Mike D'Antoni was like going from the worst choice to a bad choice.

 

[bhzmafia14]

 

[pmatic]

It became clear the players, management and ownership didn't trust Brown in big spots.

Maybe D'Antoni gets to that point himself, but not definitely not now.
