The Official NBA Season Thread: Cavs vs Thunder was a dud

[finessence]

Coach got fired for being human…. Two guys who only have individual accolades being held accountable…brown got a raw deal

That’s why I respect coaches like Pop, Phil or Belichick. They challenge everyone

Brown is not a good coach. He's getting a lot of love for his team getting embarrassed in the postseason and regressing the following two seasosns

Fair.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like all his NBA head coaching gigs have followed the same pattern. Good start with getting everyone to buy in and play hard, with significant defensive improvement. Then stagnation or regression after that.

Yea this is what Mike Malone was referring to with Brown and Dwane Casey

Lou is saying there would be too much pressure to make 2 fts when you're up, but wouldn't there also be pressure on the opponent to make 2 when they're down?

Is it actually an analytical thing? In their scenario, with only 6 seconds left, you absolutely foul. Especially if the opponent has used their last timeout. Especially especially if they have an elite 3pt shooter like Klay or Reggie Miller.

Coaching tactician Byron Scott and defensive stalwart Lou Williams talking end of game strategy.

Honestly don't care about the fight. We lost.

Hard to win continuously when the starting backcourt does this nightly. The record says 3 seed but the rockets aren’t even a top 5 team in the west honestly. My only expectation is top 6 seed and seeing the young guys in a playoff series.

Everyone knows the trade is coming. Just a matter of when (most likely offseason) and for who.

 

[antidope]

I really don't understand why teams don't foul up three

Coaches really don't foul up three. I will never understand.

I will never understand why teams dont foul up three. It drives me crazy.

Foul up three. I can't say it enough times.

Mike Brown gotta lead the league in getting jobs, getting fired, and getting hired to new jobs whilst still getting checks from the old ones. Wasn;t he at one point getting 3 W2s? He got a raw deal but at the same time getting paid to go home isn't that bad, probably better than doing the job tbh

Thing is we might not be able to unload some players or acquire any players without giving up major draft assets.

Should have established Reed Sheppard earlier in the season

You can’t defend your way to the playoffs anymore.

Told y’all Fred stinks.

Already won the title this year

Keeping flexibility and sustainability is cool until reality hits.

Look at Spyda…Coco bad AF

 

[QU!K]

Was told he was overrated at the time

I said this…

And I mean… the Raptors won the Championship without him…

You think he’s worth the max?

I still have plenty of faith in reed but he looks broken out there. Ime not the coach for him.

When I seen Jae’sean jump back into the lineup over cam/reed I knew Ime was pushing the defense over everything too much

Happy Birthday to the best player to ever put on a Laker uniform

Reed came out timid but at the same time there was never a push to get him going. He doesn’t look confident.
