Scott Brooks out of OKC?

[Kang Deezy]

Thibs is ready but I don't think Thibs would do Scott Brooks like that.

D'Antoni is the Coach they need to get

I think D'antoni definitly deserves another coaching job but I think he belongs on a team like Orlando

Orlando

He wants a young team to develop? Orlando would take a pretty huge leap with Thibs.

Should've been fired years ago.

Anyone know if they are keeping his glasses around?

Or are they letting the glasses go too?

He bought himself a couple extra seasons when he showed up one day wearing those glasses

whoa MKG the best player on the team this year. +10 on/off

But i agree with you. We need a coach and if Brooks is available we gotta make it happen.

I say that because MKG is about to make 9 mill a year and will likely want an extension with 10-12 mill a year with his offensive inefficiency insay move him before he ends up on a 12 milly a year contract avg 12pt 6rb 2ast 1stl.

Ain't going to happen

KD & Russy love him, had all the injuries this year, & unless Thibs is sitting out there it isn't like your going to find some big upgrade. I'd love him to be the coach but Thibs scares me with minutes.

Also I don't give Brooks dumbass credit to often, but all things considered he did a pretty damn good job this season. That first month & change he had us in games we had no business being in, we just didn't have a closer.

I agree with people who say that brooks isn't a great coach, but i think they give him another shot since their main 3 were hurt all season.

 

[LurkMoar]

dantoni would make them the best offense and worst defense

Perhaps that's the problem. Compare KD/Russy praising their coach with other star players...

KD on Brooks
He made sure everybody was emotionally stable...He did his best he can do, and I'm proud of him.
Russ
As a coach and as a friend, I think he does a great job

Kobe on Phil
"Jackson would press his buttons so often that at one point he thought, “F--- it. I’m done with this guy"

Dirk on Carlise
Nowitzki said. “I remember Coach had a dust-up with Jet right before the playoffs in 2011 and that probably was the best thing that happened to us — was Jet was on his best behavior throughout the whole playoffs.

Duncan on Popovich
“I never fight him. You lose every time.”

Wade on Spoelstra
Wade and Erik Spoelstra have had a rocky relationship at times, and even though they've continually made up
I'm not going to say he's my guy, but he's my coach, you know.

Anyway maybe, fukk this beta nice guy Brooks? They might to need bring in an a$$hole coach like Mark Jackson if they want to win it all.

Excellent post. Dap + Rep. Puts into perspective that maybe the most important thing about a coach ain't how "player friendly" he is.

 

[Panther]

He's had excuses the past 2 years, but i dont see him being the guy to get them over the hump

 

[23Barrettcity]

He could do wonders on the offensive side of the ball. Russell Westbrook and KD could be truly unleashed.

But defensively... Maybe if Ibaka stays healthy next season and can clean up most of the Thunder's mistakes...

Dantoni needs to be a college coach , he's limited and likes throwing people under the bus

 

[23Barrettcity]

nikkas need to stop enabling Antoni

Man is a snake oils salesman , first sign of trouble he's finding scapegoats . He uses his media training to full advantage. If he was better at adjustments and defensively he's be great instead he in the media politicking and hating on melo and pau gasol

I don't think Brooks is as bad as ppl are making him out to be tbh but I do think OKC needs someone else to take them to that next level. I don't think they are gonna win a chip with Brooks
