I think this is the year the Heat go down. The West is so much better. Although beating LeBron four times will be quite the task.

**Anyong Bluth** · 05-04-2014, 12:15 AM

Golden State underachieved this year?

That's news to, well, basically the world.

West was no gimme, and they're not better than any of the teams seeded in front of them.
Don't know if this falling on Jackson's shoulders is deserved. More importantly, who are they going to get that's a sure shot upgrade?

Yeah it's a regression, because they played a better team than they did last year and the West is stronger overall this year than last.

Without Bogut and without Oneal for 1.5 games, they pushed the Clippers to game 7 and were competitive up to the very last seconds. Saying Jackson should be fired for that is foolish.

Him getting fired is more about the regular season. That being said he is not the only one that needs to go.

He isn't going to get fired for losing the series though that maybe the "excuse". To much dysfunction and drama going on around the team

Underachieved?????

what team should they have finished above again? Great series against a better team in the stacked West.

The playoff started out strange, but are going back to their intended course.

I would find it mildly hilarious if Miami got knocked out by any team in the East. That probably won't happen, though, since they are much better than everyone else and it would cause the ratings to TANK in the finals right when the NBA is booming.

The Warriors had the talent (outside of David Lee being a pussy) to finish 3rd. Jackson just couldn't get them there.

Warriors have no more talent than any other team in the West playoffs. There were some games during the regular season that were scratch your head losses, especially at home. But the balance of the season was a success. Losing Bogut killed you going against Jordan, who dominated the series. I don't think Jackson is a great coach by any means, but it's hard to use the team's performance as the justification for firing him. Seems like there's enough internal strife to point to.

Maybe 4th or 5th. There are 3 teams easily more talented and the 4 and 5 teams are just as talented.

The coach made all the difference, hopefully Jackson's time is come to a close.

I figured the Spurs would smack the Mavs today

Ginoboli is such a whiney, flopping piece of shit who I have no respect for.

He invented flopping in the NBA.

I enjoy watching the Spurs except for him. He makes me want to drown kittens with his soccer-like flopping.
