    Their last two home games have been pathetic. They have come dangerously close to falling out of my top five.

    He's a champion doing his best with a depleted roster.

    Hopefully Mark Cuban gets his team taken away soon.

    He was considered.

    Mike Malone, too.

    Dwane Casey got some consideration, as well.

    It was a very tough process. It took me 18 hours to produce this thread.

    just Can’t put rick up there with 18 wins - I know he’s a good coach !! Snyder lost Hayward and there still playing hard for a playoff spot

    I'll take a closer look at Quinn and maybe he can make the list in March.

    It will be hard though. I'm a big fan of Carlisle.

    I'm not sure what's happened since the All-Star break, but it seems like the oddsmakers saw it coming. Some of their spreads have been really low. I couldn't figure out why they were only -5 at Memphis Friday night.

    That in itself is good enough to keep him on the list.

    They were on a back 2 back in Memphis - it’s not to long before people will say lebron is playing with bums again

    If they played right now the raptors would beat them.

    Celtics would give them a dogfight.

    Portland will make its way to your list soon...

    Curry over Westbrook any day. Curry makes his whole team better. Westbrook is a nice highlight reel

    I like the bench, I like their bigs, I like the fact DeRozan continues to improve and can now hit threes. If they don't at least get to the conference finals this year, and put up a fight, I would imagine Casey is gone. Don't you?

    Curry had to go recruit Durant.

    That means his wife wears the pants at home.
