The Jump Episode No. 3

Join host Adam Johnson along with Crabdribbles.com writers Zach Oliver and Russell Simon as they discuss the latest topics in the NBA.  On the docket for today's episode:

In a rare move, Mark Jackson reassigned assistant coach Brian Scalabrine to the team's D-League affiliate in Santa Cruz as initially reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.  How does this bode for coach Jackson's future and will this be a distraction to the team as they head towards the playoffs?

Dirk Nowitzki at age 35 is still turning heads as he is perhaps having one of his best seasons of his career, shooting at an all-time high from the field and averaging 20 or more points in 13 of his last 14 seasons.  How much is left in the tank for Dirk, and do the Mavericks make the playoffs this year?  

And finally, the New York Knicks put on a demoralizing performance in Phil Jackson's old stomping grounds as they were destroyed by the Lakers, giving up an astonishing 51 points in the third quarter alone.  Is Carmelo a part of the future at this point?  Who should be the next coach in New York?
