Scott Brooks is one of the four worst coaches in the league. The only reason he hasn't been :camby: yet is because ownership is cheap as fukk and refuses to pay two coaches simultaneously (although theoretically at this point with 2 years left on his deal it becomes a bit easier to swallow that dead money).

Even if they lose....he still has to play much better imo. He cant be getting blown out and scoring 15 points. He's gotta win a game or two....or he'll be destroyed by the media.


This series is rough on him so far

It's hilarious how nikkas cling to this "KD doesnt' take heat" shyt. Brooks is the only other guy on that team that you can say has taken any heat this postseason and it's still not a daily referendum on his legacy like KD. He's gonna get that "Can he get a team over the hump" tag starting this offseason. They are already gearing up for it.

KD is safe from criticism on a national scale for the rest of his career because he comes off non-threatening and plays in Oklahoma City. He'll be the lovable loser that the media roots for. Only way he'll get backlash is if he gets into trouble off the court or forces his way out of OKC for a big market and becomes a "coach killer".

I don't see it breh. We been saying the same thing for CP3 for years and his lack of postseason success is only discussed on here. KD is immune from criticism b/c he us a good guy and is non threatening. The only question of significance for KD this offseason is if he resigns with Nike or not

BTW, I think Brooks is safe for 1 more yr

So you don't watch ESPN? :ld: Every show, and I mean EVERY show, after a Thunder L there is a segment devoted to KD and the implications of that loss on his legacy/rep.

I watch Colin Cowherd...I don't watch the rest of ESPN like that unless the game is on. But I do watch NBATV, read Sports Illustrated, read SLAM, etc and he's been good. Maybe ESPN is gonna turn heel and be more critical, but I haven't heard/seen that criticism of KD yet

What's getting lost in this debate is that the Thunder really aren't better than the Spurs and that was with a healthy Ibaka. He'll probably get a pass, b/c no one really expected OKC to win this series, they've been slightly above average the whole postseason

KD's team made it to the conference finals and will lose to the team with the best record in the league, largely in part because their third option is down. Why the fukk do y'all want KD to get shytted on so bad :wtf: He did what he was supposed to do.

They have pretty much already turned...they are just waiting for them to be eliminated to fully unload on him. How you gonna assert he doesn't catch heat and leave the most prominent national outlet out of the equation? :what:


Nah, not to the degree that Melo and Bron got crucified

Please don't ever compare another player, especially Melo of all people to what Bron got. Beyond that when has Melo gotten crucified? He's started to catch heat in recent years but certainly not to any extreme. His team missed the playoffs in a :scusthov: conference and the only conversation about him is what team he's gonna play for next year.
