    Pelicans are too low in that list, imo. Also, the Spurs should be right at the top (I’m guessing the maker of this list didn’t look at most-recent performances).

    My hope for the Cs is just that they get something out of this playoff experience. That’s it’s not a humiliating blowout with nothing learned. But I wouldn’t bet on that. ATL would have been a much, much better choice.

    Hahahahahaha Doc Rivers with the 1st round exit. Funny that he quit on us for greener pastures, only to be eliminated in the same exact round as us a year later. (Not that Doc would have ever been able to coach THIS TEAM to the playoffs)
