What has Mike Brown done to Kyrie?

[Malta]

I love how you switched the conversation.

But let's talk about Anthony Bennett for a second...

That is the point of this thread right? To shyt on Mike Brown?

He's never developed a rookie successfully in 8 years as a coach. (Unless you want to count that one run Boobie Gibson had the year the Cavs made it to the finals.)


He's had Shannon Brown, Danny Green, and JJ Hickson. All who flourished once they left.

He's not a coach for a young team. And the Cavs are the second youngest in the league.

I wouldn't hold the first 10 games as an indictment on him as a player. He's under the wrong coach.

So why did they hire him?

And while Mike Brown sucks, usually players show flashes of what they can do even during bad stretches. He has trouble finishing against big players, which is what happened to Thomas Robinson, Beasley and Derrick Williams, maybe he can drop weight and try his hand at SF. For now, there isn't a worse start by a number 1 pick in the history of the league, that is not a good sign.

And even those dudes you named with the exception of Green showed some flashes in their limited minutes.

They could of had Drummond and Oladipo. Think about that.

They hired him because they felt he was an elite defensive coach. They've watched Byron strut out teams over the past 3 years that simply had no effort on that end.

They didn't even interview anyone else.

....and he's on a 5 year deal

I gave them a benefit of a doubt but I'd thought Mike had learned something after leaving LA the way he did and having a year off. His coaching staff is pretty well rounded too... The team in general just has a plethora of issues right now.



They should've hired Brett Brown. In hindsight.

They could learn a lot about how to build a team from the Knicks.

What does The Knicks have to do with anything?:melomad:


I didn't know fans worked in the front office.

Hes not a genius on d at all,like most "defensive minded coaches" all they really do is slow the pace of the game down so the scores are lower so then they can put on their resume how their a defensive guru and know they can get a few more jobs

Confrontation between Cavs players reported by ESPN involved Dion Waiters, source says. Waiters sat out last night, didn't travel today.


@KingpinOG Drummond and Waiters average nearly the same ppg, except big Drum is shooting almost 30% higher Still think Waiters is better?

I never said that Waiters was better than Drummond. That was another poster.

If Mike Brown wasn't coaching, Kyrie might have scored 100.
