James Harden now has 18 career playoff games in which he’s shot less than 40% from the field and committed five or more turnovers.
Since the NBA began tracking individual turnovers in 1977-78, only LeBron James (22) and Russell Westbrook (20) have recorded more such games. pic.twitter.com/S1qLtzrsx0 – 9:31AM
Kings officials maintain their three finalists hold level chances at Sacramento’s head coaching job, but Mark Jackson appears to be the front-runner and Kings owner Vivek Ranadive’s favorite candidate. More on SAC, CHA, LAL, Utah and Philly at @BR_NBA: bleacherreport.com/articles/10034… – 9:01AM

I think Reggie Miller with zero games of coaching experience would be a better coach than Mark Jackson – 10:26 PM
DeAndre Jordan got waived for DJ Agustin by a Lakers team that finished 33-49 and was so thin inside that LeBron started at center.
So yeah… I’d say the bad DJ minutes are not surprising. – 8:21 PM

League source confirms Mike Brown, Steve Clifford and Mark Jackson have been selected as finalists as the Sacramento Kings’ coaching search moves into its next phase. Mike D’Antoni, Darvin Ham, Charles Lee and Will Hardy are no longer in the mix.

Mark Jackson, Steve Clifford, Mike Brown reported finalists for Kings coaching job nba.nbcsports.com/2022/04/30/mar… – 5:23 PM
For those disappointed Mark Jackson may be on his way to SAC rather than LA, there’s a reason he hasn’t coached since 2014 and it’s not because he’s picky. Same kind of deal with Westbrook being on 4 teams in 4 yrs (likely soon to be 5 in 5 yrs). Not a hot commodity. – 4:57 PM

Confirming that Mark Jackson has made it to round two of the Kings’ coaching search. GM Monte McNair is currently making calls to candidates and we should have all of the finalist names here shortly. – 4:53 PM
Making Mark Jackson coach of the Kings would be the most Kings thing the Kings could do 🤦🏼♀️ – 4:44 PM
Mark Jackson has emerged as a finalist for the Sacramento Kings head coaching job, sources tell me and @Sam Amick. Kings GM Monte McNair has begun to notify candidates whether they will move onto in-person meetings. – 4:43 PM
More on this storyline
D’Antoni has been identified as a serious candidate early in the process, especially because of the possibility of pairing him with young point guard LaMelo Ball, sources said. -via ESPN / May 3, 2022 Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: The Charlotte Hornets are beginning to interview candidates for their head coaching job, including Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson, Milwaukee assistant Darvin Ham, Dallas assistant Sean Sweeney and Mike D’Antoni. -via Twitter @wojespn / May 3, 2022
D’Antoni is expected to receive consideration for the Hornets’ opening. Kupchak hired him in 2012 to helm Los Angeles, and Charlotte is said to value previous head coaching experience in his search, similar to the process in Sacramento. D’Antoni’s uncanny ability to maximize playmaking point guards would seem to form a natural marriage with the Hornets’ future, featuring a second-year All-Star Ball. -via Bleacher Report / May 3, 2022
