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.
