This postseason has not been kind to Billy Donovan. After last season’s masterpiece the second-year coach has hit the proverbial sophomore wall – that is he’s played the likes of Kyle Singler and Domantas Sabonis in meaningful fourth quarter minutes this postseason.
Donovan’s two years in Oklahoma City has been the quintessential Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato sandwich on rye. The first regular season you were iffy, just like that feeling of choosing rye bread. But when that first postseason came around, Billy plopped on the bacon and you realized the rye/bacon flavor combo actually works perfect together.
