yea because if he isn't getting his teammates involved and just jacking shots up then none of that matters. Melo's flaws are talked about regardless of wins or losses. They've been consistent pretty much his entire career also.

So, when is it okay to hold players accountable and when is it okay to hold the coach accountable?
When certain players fail, its on the player. When other players fail, its on the coach.
Derrick Rose got locked up by Lebron in the playoffs. Did anyone blame Thibs due to the lack of offensive structure or did they slander Rose? I think the majority of everyone slandered Rose...

You're just arguing for the sake of arguing now. As opposed to watching the game and seeing the obvious flaw in their approach. but ima let you cook, ha

He did a very good job on Wade, LeBron, Kobe in 2010 during the Celtics run to the Finals.

Don't know what you mean there's plenty of plays where KD stays isolated in the corner while Russ just dripples. Can he not run to the ball?

its always been like this, but recently people have started to blame coaches for everything
kobe took the same 30 foot fadeaway game winning shots that kd takes but no one blamed phil
lebron and kobe have both had bad series but they have never had problems getting the basketball
kd is just a smart player that plays in a way that frees him from any blame.
passes up last second shots to keep his fg% up
passes to westbrook when the shotclock is low to keep his fg% up
how many times in a close game will he get the ball and pass it up right away?
the guy is just out there to get his empty stats without needing to feel the pressures of being a top player

You're comparing apples to oranges (team makeup) and its detracting from the true issue with the Thunder. The bulls were a defensive team with offensive talent and a superstar PG. The Thunder have both a superstar PG, SF, a tier 1 PF, a host of role players and young talent. And OKC was in the finals just in 2012. They don't have the same right to complain because the pieces are there

KD doesnt have the brain to think freely, everything he does is a direct order from his idiot coach

I think in game 5 situation. thunder could have had it if Brooks draws up a different play. like why draw a 3 of kd. who has been off all series. go for 2 (they were down 1)
crawford get like 2% blame though

Wade avg. 34 ppg on 56% shooting, Lebron 27 ppg, and Kobe 29 ppg during those series. I guess he did bother LBJ and Kobe more, having them shoot a lower percentage than they did in the regular season. I don't remember either of those guys being passive and standing in the corner so often in the least though like KD has been this series.

Tony Allen put the clamps on Kobe in a game 7 of that finals. It wasn't until he had to be taken out for offensive purposes in the 4th that Kobe started to score. On Ray Allen :x

Man, I had the Heat beating the Celtics that year (I wanted to see Wade vs LeBron the next round). I got dupped into the Celtics coasting that season.
