    And I just read that he only won three playoff series in 7 years with the Clippers? Can that be true?

    Funny thing is, that's still better than ANY OTHER Clippers coach...

    Ya, I think Del Negro or Dunleavy was the coach last time they made a significant playoff run.

    They need a leader more than anything. They didnt have a Lowry on the team.

    It is true... 5 all-stars: Paul, Griffin, Jordan, Leonard, and George and 3 series wins in 7 years. Yet some people think he'd be a good fit for Portland, I don't get it.

    that leader IMHO is already on the bench in LA. Sudden Sam Cassell. he is a winner and knows no fear. big moments are in his DNA. dealing with superstars as a teammate, in the resume., if LA doesn't call him houston will IMHO

    Yeah, that would be my guess. Houston was built specifically for Mike D., not sure a coach with options will want that gig.

    Doc's daughter is either married or engaged to a guy in the WC.

    If Miami can win this series Meyers Leonard will have championship pedigree!

    I think if that happens some people here might blow a gasket.
