NBA Coaches on the Hot Seat: Mosley, Rivers, Donovan, Keefe, Borrego & Christie
Shock Clock Pod – Week 24: NBA Coaches on the Hot Seat + Lakers Outlook Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello preview Week 24 of Steve’s “13 Rules: Random NBA Thoughts” with a new format ranking NBA coaches on the hot seat. They discuss why Orlando’s Jamahl Mosley is most vulnerable (tension with Paolo Banchero, a 31–0 run allowed, and little improvement after adding Desmond Bane), debate Milwaukee’s Doc Rivers amid a potential rebuild, and cover Toronto’s Darko Rajaković as contracts and expectations rise. They examine Chicago’s Billy Donovan (possible mutual exit, rumored college interest, and roster issues), Washington’s Brian Keefe with the league’s worst defense and upcoming veterans, New Orleans interim James Borrego and front-office direction, and Sacramento’s Doug Christie amid organizational instability. They also assess the Lakers’ injuries, ceiling after being blown out by Oklahoma City, and an offseason retool, and tease a data-based championship predictor to discuss next week. 00:00 Show intro and format 01:40 Coaches on the hot seat 02:18 Orlando Magic Mosley 04:12 Giannis trade tangent 04:42 Milwaukee Bucks Doc 06:30 Ranking first two 07:03 Toronto Raptors Darko 09:00 Chicago Bulls Donovan 11:08 Donovan ranking and Knicks 12:06 Washington Wizards Keefe 14:05 Front Office Pressure 14:43 Pelicans Interim Debate 16:48 Kings Coaching Chaos 18:10 Kings Roster Money Crunch 20:00 Lakers Reality Check 21:10 OKC Blowout Turning Point 23:17 LeBron Aging And Retool 25:28 Analytics Champion Tease 27:34 Wrap Up And Next Week
Pacers Collapse, Kings Confusion, Wizards Gamble | NBA Autopsy Report
The Baseline NBA Podcast is back with our coveted Autopsy Report, putting three struggling franchises “on the slab”: the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and Washington Wizards. Cal Lee and Warren Shaw pull on the black scrubs and break down who’s got a pulse, who’s in critical condition, and who’s completely flatlined. We’re not just talking vibes – we’re talking coaching, roster construction, cap sheets, injuries, culture, and front office direction. This episode is perfect for hoop fans who live for the postmortem on disappointing seasons and want an early look at what these teams must do next. In this episode: Why a team that was just in the NBA Finals (Pacers) collapsed into the bottom of the East How much blame (or grace) Rick Carlisle deserves, and why his partnership with Tyrese Haliburton still matters Why the Pacers’ roster is in critical condition, and why a dynamic two-way wing is now a must The ongoing identity crisis in Sacramento and why the Kings’ culture and direction have completely flatlined What Doug Christie represents as a coach… and why his imprint still isn’t visible on either end of the floor How ugly the Kings’ cap situation and veteran mix really are, and why the franchise feels rudderless Why the Washington Wizards might actually have more hope than people think How a core built around Trae Young, Anthony Davis, and Alex Sarr, plus a wave of young talent, could reshape the Wizards The defensive identity Washington could build, and what has to go right for this experiment not to blow up If you rock with deep-dive NBA team breakdowns, cap and roster talk, and culture-focused analysis – this Autopsy Report is for you. 0:00 – Intro, black scrubs energy & Autopsy Report concept 1:33 – Explaining the Autopsy scale: pulse, critical condition, flatline 4:55 – PrizePicks read & setting up this week’s three teams 6:45 – Indiana Pacers put on the slab: from Finals run to bottom of the East 7:22 – Did we overrate the Pacers or underestimate the East? 8:45 – Coaching: grading Rick Carlisle and his partnership with Haliburton 14:50 – Pacers roster in critical condition: the missing wing 23:13 – Pacers intangibles & future: Halliburton’s return and realistic offensive/defensive ceiling 27:37 – Sacramento Kings on the slab: no identity, no direction, no plan 31:07 – Kings roster: bad veteran mix, cap issues, and no cornerstone path 41:15 – Can the draft deliver a true culture-changer for Sacramento? 47:02 – Kings intangibles: ownership and why the franchise feels stuck 51:57 – Washington Wizards on the slab: ugly season, but a plan in place? 54:41 – Coaching Brian Keefe: is he the guy to lead a Trae/AD era? 58:34 – Wizards roster breakdown: Trae Young, Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr 1:04:14 – Intangibles in D.C.: defensive identity, realistic upside 1:09:45 – Closing: where these three franchises go from here & teasing future Autopsy Reports Follow The Baseline on X: https://twitter.com/nbabaseline Follow The Baseline on IG: https://instagram.com/nba_baseline The Baseline Swag: https://tinyurl.com/baselineswag Subscribe to 19 Media Group: https://bit.ly/3KcZtGe #nba #podcast #sports
