Gasol and Howard ... wow. That's pretty much all that sums up their performance for the win.
That game was a good way to end the Laker's depressing season. Injuries, terrible start, inconsistent play throughout, coaching change, Jerry Buss dying, Kobe's injury. It almost makes it hard to believe they even made it to the seventh seed looking back.

RE: The Official NBA Discussion Thread
I'm in the minority having Mark Jackson being COY. He took a Warriors team that plodded along, and after the Monta Ellis trade, Stephen Curry really picked up his play.
I was stuck between him and Tom Thibodeaux in Chicago. To have the Bulls playing at a high level despite losing Derrick Rose for the entire season was really an amazing job.

I don't hate Spoelstra, I would've loved to see Pat Riley coach the Heat, but as a coach he's okay.
Not deserving of COY, though; you're right.

Yeah, he's just the product of the system that brought LeBron and Chris Bosh down to South Beach.

Bucks going to the Finals
@TDL, Spo did carry a team with Wade and scrubs to a .500 record before LBJ and Boshtrich going to MIami, he's a good coach at least

Also, Mark Jackson deserves that credit for COY as much as Karl does. The Warriors were pretty much projected to have around 30 wins this season and look what happens lol.
