Not really a threat to his job but he was constantly rocking the boat. Word is that he is very controlling and MJax had enough. It's one thing to make suggestions to the coach, its another thing trying to take control.

It was a great move.

Now the Dubs have to be concerned about injuries at a critical time of the season. Bogut, I expected to wear down. Wasn't sure about David Lee, and Andre seems to be plagued by injuries far too often. If they don't get it together, Dubs may find themselves out of the playoffs, being overtaken by the Mavs, the Grizzlies, and the Suns, or facing the Spurs or OKC in the first round.

Our schedule favors us. Dallas will probably be the odd man out based on road games in their schedule that are remaining. If we stay at the #6 or move to #5, we will either play Houston or the Clippers definitely not the Spurs or OKC for Round 1. Iguodala just came back and will be fine. He is very agressive on defense and he pays for it. Lee is big on the board and that's why has injuries. Bogut got a cheap shot to the nuts from Marc Gasol and that is why he is currently on the side. He will be back soon.

Congrats to the Dubs for securing the 6th-seed, so they can play the Clips. As predicted, Bogut will be out, so they will miss his shot blocking ability. He's a good center, but not a great one. They have beaten some good teams this year without him. It will be interesting to see what happens, since the Clips are good, but not invincible.

Will Fes Ezili be back for the playoffs? His defense and rebounding were impressive in college.

Not sure, but if he can return and contribute, they need him at a critical time.

Bogut & Ezeli will both miss the playoffs. It's up to Jermaine & Draymond to carry the team in the big department; it will be interesting to see how much flopping Blake does with the aggressive Green on defense.

There is no word on Ezeli. Bogut will be out probably about 6 weeks, so unless we make the finals, we probably won't see him play again this year. Hilton and Kuzmic probably wont be used so after Jermaine Oneal, we will go to smaller lineups with Lee or Draymond Green at Center.

Bogut is an excellent center, just under the elite. Last year he had a bunch of games against Denver in the playoffs with 15-20 boards and multiple blocks per game. A great role player that excels in the pick and roll. Great defensive player that scores when needed. Don't sell the guy short because he isn't one of the top 3.
