@HardwoodKnocks | @AndrewDBailey | @DanFavale

Andy and Dan break down what will happen in the aftermath of the Knicks firing Jeff Hornacek and the Magic canning Frank Vogel. They then rank which of the current head-coaching vacancies around the league are most appealing (MIL/NYK/PHX/ORL) before deciding whether the Pistons and/or Hornets are also on course for sideline shakeups.

From there, Hardwood Knocks officially belly flops into playoff mode. Andy and Dan dissect and predict each of the eight first-round matchups, while also delivering their end-of-the-year report-card grades for all 16 postseason squads.
