The postseason is upon us in the National Basketball Association, but it is fair to say that the regular season has been all but done for more than half the league, and other half are still ramping up for what may amount to a not-so-thrilling first round in the NBA Playoffs. But despite the lack of excitement in the last month of the season, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to find the diamonds in what was a pretty rough, tank-tastic stretch. Why do we both think this will be one of the most active coaching carousels in NBA history, with some possible surprise firings? Did the Chicago Bulls dig their own grave years before their front office was finally let go this past week? How did we do on our preseason over-under predictions? All that, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 388 with the NBA-Team!
