Pacman Jonesin’ has a pretty good list of the ten worst general managers in the NBA. To his credit, the author — “Drew D” — revisited his list to see how the GMs have fared since he first wrote it.
For the most part, these are easy targets, but the author is eating some crow for including Sam Presti (at #10) and John Hammond (at #4), whom are both in the running for this season’s Executive of the Year award.

This one ended in controversy. Here are the highlights:
The win gives Utah sole possession of the #1 seed heading into the season’s final week.
Truth About It has video from the Wizards-Nets game — yeah, nobody else was watching it — in which Andray Blatche was thisclose to a triple-double. All he needed was one more rebound. Hilarity ensues.
(Blatche is the Wizard with the headband. Watch his reaction as he tries to get his 10th rebound.)
As the NBA takes goes on hiatus for one night in honor of the NCAA championship game, it’s a good time to take a deep breath and look at the Western Conference playoff picture. Henry Abbott of TrueHoop wrote an excellent post on the topic.
The conference’s top three teams, after all the tie-breakers, are the Lakers, Mavericks and Nuggets, and they’re doing their best to keep things interesting. Over their last 10 games, they have combined to create a tepid 16-14 record. (And even the Lakers, who are a cinch for first in the West with 22 losses, are still fighting for homecourt advantage in the Finals against Orlando, which has 23 losses. Every team is still trying.)
Meanwhile the five lower-seeded Western playoff teams — the Jazz, Suns, Thunder, Spurs and Blazers — have combined to create a 38-12 record over their last 10 games. And five of those 12 losses came from within that group of five.
The point being: If momentum matters, there’s a lot it in the West’s seeds four through eight, who are bunched up very tightly behind the teams ahead of them.
Here’s a look ahead at the schedule in the West for the next week:
Tuesday: OKC @ UTA
Wednesday: DEN @ OKC, SA @ PHX
Thursday: LAL @ DEN
Friday: PHX @ OKC, DAL @ POR
Saturday: SA @ DEN
Sunday: POR @ LAL
Monday: OKC @ POR

Andrew Bogut will likely miss the remainder of the season and the playoffs due to injuries suffered last night against the Suns.
The Milwaukee Bucks will have to move on to the NBA playoffs without center Andrew Bogut, who suffered season-ending injuries in the team’s 107-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night at the Bradley Center.
A source said early Sunday that Bogut suffered a dislocated right elbow, sprained wrist and broken right hand and would likely undergo surgery.
Bogut was injured on a play in the second quarter when he took a long pass from teammate Carlos Delfino and dunked the ball. But the fifth-year pro fell hard to the floor, landed awkwardly and immediately screamed in pain, in a play that happened directly in front of the Bucks bench.
Obviously, this puts a huge damper on what was otherwise a terrific season by the upstart Bucks. Nobody wanted to play Milwaukee in the first round of the playoffs.
Hopefully, Bogut’s career isn’t threatened in any way.
