Limited Upside, Episode 35: Where we dare question the great Gregg Popovich
We weren’t wild about some of the decisions the legendary coach made in the Spurs-Thunder series. Plus, we look ahead to the conference finals, say goodbye to Portland and dive into the coaching carousel.

With three of the four conference finalists decided, we dialed up one of our frequent guests, Michael Pina of Bleacher Report and elsewhere, to take stock of where we stand. Among the topics discussed:
- How the great Gregg Popovich may have cost the Spurs chances to win their series against the Thunder.
- Can the Thunder’s advantages against the Spurs carry over to a series against Golden State?
- Why Russell Westbrook’s patience and pace is the key to the Thunder’s bid for an upset.
- We might need to slow down a bit on the Blazers’ future, as fun as their season was.
- Will the Eastern Conference Finals actually be competitive? (We actually have a disagreement here!)
- Who should coach in Houston? And what the heck happened to Scott Skiles in Orlando?
