There have been several memorable moments in the early stages of these playoffs ... but also no shortage of injuries affecting some of the foremost names in the game. Just like last spring's playoffs
Hi Marc ..... With the success of Ime Udoka as Boston's coach, my thoughts turn to who the "next Udoka" might be. I believe Adrian Griffin is that guy. Like Udoka, he's worked with a coach who has built a culture (N. Nurse in Toronto) and I feel like Griffin shares many of the characteristics that are making Udoka successful. Do you have any thoughts on Griffin? I think he'd work really well in Charlotte.
You left Harden off the injury list. I mean he can't really be full strength can he? Did Morey really trade our last chip for a non all star? We could have had budding all star Halliburton and picks and tried to swing a deal in the off-season if wanted. Please tell me that my intuition is right, that he just needs a good off-season program to strengthen that hammy.
Side note .. will we ever see Embiid healthy in the playoffs? And though I agree on stuffing all these games hasn't helped injuries and a shortened season is important, especially for having stars not sit, I think silver is correct there probably isn't any proof that a shortened season will help.

How about Ryan Arcidiacono as former Wright-coached 'Nova players in the NBA this season?
Agreed on MIP award.
