Here are all the teams that still have a shot to make the playoffs and their coaches.
Atlanta - Buds
Cleveland - Blatt
Chicago - Thibs
Toronto - Casey
Washington - Whitman
Milwaukee - Kidd
Miami - Spo
Boston - Brad Stevens
Charlotte - Steve Clifford
Indiana - Vogel
Brooklyn - Hollins
Detroit - SVG (Probably doesn't belong as they are currently 4.5 games back, but it's SVG so I'd thought I'd Keep him)
Here's a thought experiment: You are a going to be assigned a random playoff team in the East, without knowing which team it's going to be, how do you rank the coaches? 1, being the guy you'd like the most, 12 being the guy you like the least. Also, what are you looking for?
1) Buds
2) Thibs
3) Vogel
4) Spo
5) SVG
6) Stevens (great out of time out plays, which is crucial in the post season)
7) Blatt (I think he's been handcuffed this season)
8) Kidd
9) Casey
10) Steve Clifford (don't really know much about him)
11) Hollins
12) Whitman
I think the top 8 are all solid coaches, and the bottom four have serious flaws (with the exception of Clifford who I don't really know, and just assumed was better than Hollins and Whitman.)
EDIT: Mods, can your fix my title? Who says "Coachers"?!?!?!
