    I would try and have a decent argument with you, but it's impossible so I just stick to the random posts bashing you
    GOAT post of the whole thread maybe of the week.

    That's credible, coming from two of the biggest trolls around.

    He might not have been a great coach, but certainly a class act!

    ^^^agreed much.

    He was closer to being a great coach than he was a bad coach.

    I never understood the hate on him. His offense wasn't bad and his defense was great, the sad thing is the reports that LeBron would usually wave off his play calls on offense and that he lost the locker room is what doomed him.

    The Cavs need a coach that will demand the respect of LeBron. Mike couldn't have done that even if he wanted to because he doesn't have the "credentials" to do so.

    His stuff worked in the regular season but he got outcoached far too many times in the playoffs. He is bad at making substitutions/rotations and his offense consisted of Lebron dribbling the ball out top, looking around for 18 seconds, and chucking a jumpshot as time expired. You can't win like that in the playoffs. He also defied logic several times. The Cavs won convincingly in the regular season with a small lineup, so guess what, Brown goes big with Shaq who was abysmal defensively in that series.

    When he honestly thought that the Twin Towers defense (Shaq and Z on the court at the same time) was going to work, that told me everything I needed to know about Brown.

    Such a bullshit notion. Your stuff doesn't just work in the regular season then all of a sudden you're a joke in the playoffs. If you don't have the horses, then you don't have the horses. He had talented teams but not overly talented teams and winning percentages that were inflated by LeBron playing playoff level basketball for 82 games while the vast majority of the league is playing regular season basketball. Brown was a good coach. You can't be a good coach in the regular season and then a bad coach in the postseason--that doesn't even make sense, he was coaching the same game and was still the same coach. His guys just didn't get it done.

    If you don't think the regular season and playoff basketball are two completely different monsters, I question how much you know about the NBA. Stuff that works in the regular season doesn't work in the playoffs (guys dribbling the air out of the basketball while his teammates watch will work against the Clippers or Nets, but not against the best teams). One of the better teams this year in the playoffs are the Celtics, they didn't play seriously for the final month or two of the regular season.
  • SQ_Crazies
    No, it doesn't work in the regular season then not work in the same exact setting.

    Guys didn't execute, period. Overrated teammates for LeBron that couldn't handle the pressure. That's why they lost, not Mike Brown. LeBron can easily prop them up in the regular season and it is two different monsters--but the blame goes to the players, not the coach. You don't win 60+ games 2 straight years with a coach and then lose in the playoffs if it's just the coach. It's the players not executing when it matters most, period.

    Against the C's:

    1. LBJ
    2. Rondo
    3. KG
    4. Allen
    5. Pierce

    That's Mike Brown's fault?

    No, that's on Danny Ferry

    Remember all season when people thought Doc Rivers was a joke--now people think he's brilliant. LOL, no, his players are finally just executing and playing well.

    Remember how SVG gets called a great coach all regular season and last years playoffs? Then his team goes down 0-3 to the C's and all of a sudden people start saying he's a poor coach.

    It's the fucking players. Same reason Phil Jackson may be the best coach in NBA history but that's like finishing last place in an ugly girl competition.

    Players play, coaches coach. They each need one another to make great stuff happen. It's never been different, and it'll never change.
