What evidence do you have Donovan is a good NBA coach ? He did NOT do a great job with this team. He has zero creativity on offense, and there were some lineups that you would think would be a no brainer he didn’t even TRY the entire year. He is a doormat for the stars on the team. You can not sit here and tell me 48 wins and a first round exit is the best anyone can do with this group because Russ is uncoachable

Naw
I would say at worst they are average.
The issue is their superstar they have chosen to build around .
Westbrook is flawed.
Watching the final 5 minutes showed me that.
Tremendous talent no doubt .but too undisciplined and low bball iq to be your main guy .
How fitting him and Melo on the same team.
Naw the issue is for that narrative to be true Donovan as well as Brooks would have to be trash coaches. Well below average.What evidence do you have Donovan is a good NBA coach ?

I know he won 3 National titles and made 4 Final Fours in the NCAA and coached many players that went on to be pros. I know he outcoached Pop and had Oklahoma City up 3-1 against a 73-9 Golden State team in 2016 with adjustments he made (small ball line-up with Westbrook, Waiters, Roberson, Durant, Ibaka) and could have won if Durant and Westbrook didn't underperform to close the series and Klay doesn't go nuclear in game 6.What evidence do you have Donovan is a good NBA coach ?

Yes, Westbrook is uncoachable. That nikka is not running a disciplined offense or running plays. Didn't y'all say Scott Brooks had zero creativity on offense? Y'all gonna say that with any coach that comes in as long as Westbrook is on the team. Who is stopping Westbrook from taking 19 threes like he did last night? Who is stopping Westbrook from monopolizing the Thunder's possessions chasing triple doubles?
Yes, 48 wins and a first round exit is as good as this team is. Y'all clowns saw Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and Carmelo Anthony and thought Finals.
I already spoke on Westbrook. George is inconsistent, he is a streaky player, and at 6'10 with his handle and athleticism he should be at the rim more but instead he settles for jumpers. He scored 5 points and went 2 for 16 in a god damn closeout game but somehow it's Donovan's fault. Melo is washed, he has no lift or first step. Donovan tried to reinvent him into "Olympic Melo" as a stretch 4 but Melo only shot 35.7% from 3 this year and was a non-factor in the playoffs. Roberson was the glue guy of the team and he went down for the season right when they started peaking.
Outside of Felton and Grant who is coming off that bench? Josh Huestis? Abrines who is a low end spot up shooter at this point? 19 year old Terrace Ferguson? Old ass Nick Collison? Trash ass Kyle Singler? Trash ass Patrick Patterson? Dakari Johnson?
Coaches are easily disposable now because y'all blame them for all the teams shortcomings. If OKC had better depth, Roberson doesn't go down, and Melo plays like Olympic Melo like he was advertised we not here today.

Just watch the final 5 minutes of that game and tell me any different .
That's not to say kd wasn't a bytchass for joining the warriors but Westbrook is infuriating .
I was yelling at the tv the entire time.

Don’t give a damn what he did in the NCAA, this isn’t the NCAA. KDs last year with the thunder they had an AWFUL up and down regular season, just like this year because he couldn’t figure out what to do with the talent he had. The small ball lineup wasn’t some amazing revelation he came up with. Everyone and their mom knew they would have to play that lineup against the death lineup. It doesn’t matter they got a 3-1 lead because he got out coached the rest of the way and lost. He doesn’t get through to guys and they don’t believe in him. KD noted them getting rid of brooks was one of the reasons he left. Obviously he didn’t think much of BD as a coach and what they could do going forward.
Personally, I never said bad things about Scott brooks in OKC. He wasn’t perfect but the players respected him. I can’t say the same for BD. He needs to go back to the NCAA, these are grown men.

Damn okc y’all fukked upI'm not blaming him. You see the timeout footage when he is mic'd up, most of the time he is mentioning playing downhill and spreading the ball around. Every single game he has been mic'd I have heard that.
I mean he might have to bounce cause he gets scapegoated, and he can't reign in Russ. Half the goofy shyt russ does, like taking 3's with 16 left on the shot clock, is nothing even a middle school coach would draw up.
There have to be some growth in Russ game, cause if he practiced spacing for at least 40 minutes a game, his other people wouldn't have to be starved out of touches.
I blame nothing on Donovan, aside from not yaking Russ out of principle sometimes. PG too at this point, cause he is prone to run needless hero ball as well.
