in games 1-3 lebron james got single coverage on defense and was averaging 4 assists per game
games 4 and 5 they decided to let harden guard (and they sent doubles to help) him for the majority of the game and he put up 12 and 13 assists
once again, im not seeing why yall are downplaying this. it clearly made a difference.
my nikka chill man............u killing them right now.
brooks overreacted to bron's post game, and allowed the heat spot-up shooters to launch on them, instead to mixing-up zones/man defenses.
they need to fire him, it happens all the time, they need an experienced coach to get them over that hump
people, even me, said this about Spoelstra last series. Listen... the fact of the matter is they didn't make the shots they normally make. This was the Heats time. Consider all of the mental torture Lebron and the rest of the team went through. I'm amazed Lebron despite all his setbacks came out this season and post-season, and despite minor roadbumps, came back with even more ferocity and motivation. This years Lebron had it on a string. He was just a key match up problem. If Durant guarded him? Foul trouble. If harden guarded him on the block, it was either an easy score or Lebron kicked it out and someone knocked down a shot. The close out game was literally the Heat beating the Thunder with their own medicine, albeit it a historical one.FreedS[ohh]lave;564938 said:If you lose 4 straight it has nothing to do with coaching the other team is just clearly better
It isnt Brooks fault that hardne shyt the bed and thye have no otehr socring optiosn outside of Westbroo kand Durant
Its not his fault Durant has no impact on a game if he isnt scoring and his D is awful
Thunder are a jump shooting team with no inside scorign and arent great on D either thats why they lost
Phil Jackson should be their number 1 priority (if he wants to coach)
Stan Van Gundy would be a good look also.

So I guess y'all can coach a team better than brooks?
You can be the best coach in the world, but if the players don't do their job. Nothing the coach can do about it.

Thunder played the softest i ever seen a finals team play. Where were the enforcers in the paint? Not one hard foul the entire series. You gotta want it man. What Perkins on the team for?

So because there were no hard fouls. They didnt "want" it?![]()
damn right. Either you win the game or u win the fight.dapped!
The Heat were just better and unstoppable. Mike Miller, Battier, Cole, Chalmers hitting shots like they're Tony Kukoc out there. Brooks should have give the Thunder players pepper spray to keep em away
Neggas just can't admit another team was better. That's why I respect Heat fans. We showed love to the Mavs when they beat us. These neggas partied down here like they were home and people were giving them props and saying congrats.
So, all you HOF coaches, why you neggas did not have a scheme for Battier and Chalmers ? Owwww I seee
The easiest adjustment was to take ibaka or perkins out of the starting lineup
