As I said, Frank Vogel is gutter trash and no better than Darvin Ham.

Agree, but the only reason I would give him a tiny edge over Ham is because he didn't manage to screw it up in the 2020 playoffs. I know Lebron and Rondo's IQ along with Jason Kidd's basketball acumen on the bench is what really propelled that team to a championship, at least Vogel didn't find a way to mess up what they had going in that playoff run.

Suns losing - check
Clippers losing - check
Bucks losing - check
Only reason I care a tiny bit about the Bucks losing is because Doc Rivers is coaching them and Lillard was a clown for acting loyal to Portland for way too long if he truly wanted to win in this league. Now just need the Celtics to lose at some point and that's really all I'll care much about for these playoffs when Lakers aren't involved.

Give Ham a 4 year younger Lebron and AD + Rondo and Dwight’s last good year and he’d have won too imo. |

I think Denver can take Boston but I’m not sure anyone out east can. |

The only team that had a chance this season to beat Boston was the Bucks, but that changed when they hired Doc Rivers. A couple key injuries and Boston has a free ride to the finals. |

I don't think the Bucks were going to beat Boston whether they had Doc or not. When they got Jrue Holiday that changed the game. |

I thought they had a shot if everything went right. they were pretty close in the standings when Doc got there. |

Suns get swept despite Devin Booker shooting more FTs in one game than Lebron has in 4

Not sure what is the bigger dumpster fire, the Bucks, the Suns, or the Lakers.
I would have put the Clips in this group but they did pull off the win today.
The Bucks have Doc (still flabbergasted the Bucks went in this direction), Suns have Vogel, and we have Ham.

How soon until KD demands another trade? OKC is right there, at the right time, one of the best teams in the NBA with cap space and every draft pick under the sun. He could do the funniest thing ever

Maybe the Pacers can take the Cs out. I don't trust their defense but they've been a good scoring team. Knicks probably next best chance but I'm not sure I trust their offense.

Minnesota has arrived. They are a legit contender now and I think good enough to take Denver.

This may be the year of the Celtics. Ugh.
I don't know if Denver has it in them to go back to back. The big dude is more interested usually in kicking off his summer vacation.

it's actually wild that there was a Vogel hit piece already published by Shams within an hour of Phoenix getting swept last night.

He’s a shitty coach riding on the coattails of Lebron and ADs 2020 greatness. Suns never played any kind of elite inspiring basketball all season and then spectacularly went up in flames in the 1st round despite have their “big 3.” If there weren’t hit pieces about him it would be a failure of sports journalism. The man cannot coach in this league at the highest level. |

Brotha 2b eatin this up...... The same way I'll be when the Flippers find a way to lose to Dallas Vogel did the same thing to us what Ham is doing now, it’s just that fans seemingly overlooked it because of 2020. I’d go so far as to say that Frank is the worst coach to win a championship in the past 50 years. And if another team trying to win a championship hires Darvin next I’ll  on them too. |
