Make or Miss Podcast #10: Team Scal
As we march towards the playoffs, Rob and I took on the Hot Topics of the week, first with a little bit about the last few playoff spots, including Portland and Atlanta's late season, injury-aided swoons, whether Dallas could hang on to make it or if the Suns could come out on top of that race. We then moved to a discussion of the rather bizarre intra-coaching staff feud in Golden State which saw Brian Scalabrine demoted to the D-League.
Naturally, as a couple of Boston homers, Rob and I are #TeamScal forever, in large part because of this:
But moving beyond that, we contrast Mark Jackson's coaching job with another former point guard with no coaching experience before his first NBA job in Jason Kidd. Spoiler: we both think Kidd is doing a better job.
Finally, we move on the discussing Wednesday's tense, physical and slightly nutty Pacers-Heat clash and what if anything it means for Evan Turner's Finals MVP chances as well as the playoff prospects for both teams.

Been a lighter week for me elsewhere:
- I updated my look at DeAndre Jordan's season long improvements as a rim protector over at Clipperblog. I may or may not have geeked out when I heard Kevin Arnovitz cite the initial analysis on Zach Lowe's podcast. (Who am I kidding, I TOTALLY geeked out...)
- Coach Nick and I have a bunch of stuff in the hopper, this week, we looked at the always divisive Russell Westbrook:
- Early next week, I'll have a post up on ClipperBlog about Chris Paul and Blake Griffin coexisting as Griffin continues to take on a larger role in the Clips' offense.
- I have a much longer article I've been working on since basically the All-Star break about the impact and growth in optical and visual tracking data and analysis, look for that at Hickory High in the very near future.
