It’s been a crazy week in the NBA, and not just on the court.
Sure, the final 13.5 seconds of Monday’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder was a comedy of errors and the Cleveland Cavaliers sinking 21 threes on Friday was something to behold. Nevertheless, the real insanity is happening in the coaching ranks.
More than ever before, good coaches are being told to hit the road. Two of the league’s steadiest hands received their walking papers in the last handful of days alone with Frank Vogel crashing and burning in Indy, while Dave Joerger received The Revenant treatment from the Grizzlies.
