Besides Vogel's no Hibbert lineup and Woodson's Game 4 lineup change, what are other questionable coaching decisions this postseason?

I always get a kick out of fans that think their players are "loyal" to their city or team. Breaking news: they're loyal to money & winning.

FRANK VOGEL on Heat's late-game offensive strategy: “They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did."

Past 3 drafts, Raps stayed put twice, moved from 3-5 (still got JV); Cavs jumped from 8-1 in Kyrie year, from 3-1 this yr; Wiz went from 8-3

I asked Vogel abt whether he was surprised NYK wasnt using Copeland to bring Hibbert out of the paint. Took him awhile to answer, but...

No inside info from Sully on KG/Pierce: "I'm not the GM... so I don’t know anything that’s happening." Said supports them whatever happens.

FRANK VOGEL before practice: “We’re very encouraged. Our belief in our ability to beat this team is strengthened after Game 1."

Vogel on Miami's offense: "They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did and we've got to adjust to it." So true

Phil Jackson would take Bill Russell, not Michael Jordan, as first player to start team bit.ly/12QmK6N

DWade did not foul George on 3-pt attempt, so George should not have gotten 3 FTs and hence, taken the lead for Indy.

Sullinger, who resumed light workouts about two weeks ago, is now on a 10-week program aimed to ramp him up. Hopes to be 100% by camp.

Jazz play on July 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at the Orlando Pro Summer League. As was previously rumored, it will be a tournament format this year.

Plus, Indy was lucky to have shot to win. George's 3pt was great shot but lucky; Ray Allen's missed FT was severe aberration and......

More Sullinger: "Because I had surgery, I’m taking my time and getting back right. It won’t be a recurring injury."

Jared Sullinger on surgery: "Everybody says back with a question mark, you might as well put an X through that."

Remember, the Pacers were 17-27 when he took over for Jim O'Brien. Vogel's turned them into contenders.

Frank Vogel is a terrific coach. He's taking way too much heat today (no pun intended). I would've had Roy in,but Vogel rationale was sound

Regarding Smith, many NBA players (& pro athletes in general) get some kind of knee treatment/procedure in the offseason. Keep that in mind.

Anyway, NBA mock draft coming out today. One of toughest I've ever done, especially since I think half of first round will be traded.

All-NBA voting was just released. Surprisingly, Jazz C Al Jefferson got one first-place vote and would be on the fifth team if that existed.

When does Mark Towhey's book come out? Because I'm buying it.

You guys are all jerks for not telling me Ke$ha is coming to Cleveland in August.

Paul George was up til 4 am: "I watched SportsCenter for so long that they continued to show the same highlights."

Vogel said they will play zone defense next season. He has always been against it (the Jim O'Brien way) in the past.

Vogel on Miami defense: "They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did and we've got to adjust to it."

Frank Vogel quote on Miami's Game 1 defense coming in next tweet. Attention Knicks fans ...

I'd expect to hear the Warriors linked to nearly every notable free agent. Who wouldn't want to play with what they saw in playoffs?

As far as I can tell, this is the first time Tim Duncan was voted as a center. All other All-NBA teams he was a forward.

Heat ran Cole into a pick-and-roll w/ LBJ, a smart variation of Cole-LBJ pitch-back action they'd run several times earlier. Confused IND.

One thing I'm sure will be changed if they are in the same spot-besides Hibbert staying in; George won't play James for the quick jumper.

To say things like "Hill shouldn't have switched onto LeBron" on the first LBJ layup gives no credit to Miami for enticing the switch.

You don't necessarily need great WRs to win a Super Bowl, you need WRs that are playing great... for a time. bit.ly/188T9dh

Heat-Pacers Game 1 gets a 6.3 overnight rating for TNT, highest-rated playoff game of this postseason.

Three other favorite NBA writers: @Michael Lee, @Jerry Zgoda and @Charles F. Gardner. As you can tell, I remain a huge fan of newspaper beat types.

Vogel also said he would've put Hibbert on the ball but only if there was <1 second left. 2.2 seconds too much time.

2013 All-NBA Votes: Raymond Felton (Knicks) 3, Damian Lillard (Blazers) 0.

PG admitted today that he played D on LeBron at the end as if Hibbert was behind him. "That's why I was so aggressive."

Steph Curry just outside the 3-team voting for All- NBA. Second-most votes (behind Brook Lopez) among others.

Vogel already has plans to play a ton of zone in next preseason so he can implement Hibbert zone on critical plays next season.

It’s not that there is zero chance tanking benefits a team, it’s that it guarantees you nothing and can set org back years.

Update: Stan Van Gundy may never coach again? po.st/gOAydV

Vogel said he would've zoned up with Hibbert on the final play but he didn't feel comfortable doing it with no practice.

George Hill for Kawhi Leonard is the greatest trade in the history of the NBA.
