If they were still in Seattle you'd need a half brain Sonics bored just to bitch about him. You also know all the Doogs would defend Brooks and call us stupid for bashing him.
He's Mike Brown 2.0, inflated record because he happens to coach one of the best talents this game has seen. Just like Mike Brown you never bet on a shitty coach to win a title ever.

Mike Brown is a great comparison. I got fooled on him.
All the talking heads are saying the exact same things now about Brooks that they said about Brown. He gets guys to buy in, great defensive coach, blah blah blah. Any coach with Durant, Ibaka, Westbrook and Sefalosha is going to have a great defense. Vinny Del Negro could coach these guys to a top 5 defense.
Your offense can't be "hey KD and Russ go do something". And you can't play Perkins 27 minutes. 27 minutes 4 points and 4 rebounds. Reggie Jackson had 3 rebounds in 13 minutes and Perk has a foot on him. -
The best part is Perkins should have had 2 points and 3 rebounds but Brooks is a moron who had him on the floor when you were down two with less than 10 seconds to go. Now Brooks feels vindicated by that moronic move and will continue to trot him out there 25+ minutes.allpurpleallgold said:Mike Brown is a great comparison. I got fooled on him.

They really have no offense either. If KD or Russ goes down(like last year) they can't score at all. It reminds me of Lebron days at Cleveland with Brown where the coach just expects his star to bail him out time and time again. -
I'd also like to congratulate Westbrook for dominating the ball when he should give it up to Durant. As long as Westbrook thinks he's as good as Durant and doesn't accept his role, they'll continue to have significant issues.

I would have fired him for the 53rd time at midcourt last night.

They're missing Harden now.

If you fire Scott Brooks, who do you have to replace him? That's what I thought

All the good coaches have CONTRACTS.

You actually believe this? Durant gets plenty of shots. Westbrook has his faults, but he's a great player. Scott Brooks is the problem, not Westbrook.Tequilla said:I'd also like to congratulate Westbrook for dominating the ball when he should give it up to Durant.

Not saying that Brooks isn't a problem (combined with cheap ownership that has not built a strong supporting cast around Durant/Westbrook) ... but Westbrook is the #2 option on that team and a damn good one at that. But you live and die with what Durant gives you.
Under a minute to go in regulation last night and Westbrook pounds the ball in the same spot and then jacks up a stand still 3 that he bricks. At no point in the possession did he ever look at giving up the ball.
Too often in big games Westbrook shoots as often as Durant - it should be slightly tilted to Durant's favor as he's generally the more efficient scorer. Durant averaged 1.54 points per shot attempt this year - which is right with LBJ for most efficient scorer in the game (just looking at guys that score/shoot a lot). In contrast, Westbrook was at 1.27 this season. It would be fair to cite that Westbrook was injured this year and that his numbers were down as a result. Last year, Durant averaged 1.59 points per shot attempt. Prior to last season, his rate was in the 1.4-1.5 range for the 3 seasons prior to that (in other words, KD is getting even more effective as a scorer). Westbrook last year was at 1.24 points per shot attempt. In fact, Westbrook's scoring rate per shot attempt this year is more or less inline with his numbers from his 3rd season forward.
Again, Westbrook is a great player and you've got a good shot to win big if he's your 2nd best player. But he also needs to understand who he is, what his strengths are, and just as importantly, who he plays with and his strengths. Combined they jacked 56 shots last night split evenly at 28 shots. Hard not to think that if the split was more in the neighborhood of 32 to 24 that Durant finds a way to score a few more points and then they pull out the victory.
You can mark my words on this ... as long as Westbrook doesn't understand that KD is where the focus of the offense should be at a disproportionate rate and accepts his role of dominating games for stretches when KD is either on the bench or taking a "rest" on the court, they will NOT win a title.
