This is why Coaching is important

Look at OKC and the Hawks. If Durant and Westbrook are off they completely awful. They have no offense. Look at how well coached the Hawks are.

Word.

If Durant wins with Scott Brooks he's automatically the best player of all time.

[rlsmooth775]

Durant and west need to make teammates play better

What about Spoelstra?

so now brooks has lamb, waiters and morrow as backup SG's and he won't start any of them, preferring to go with roberson.

he's really messing up the team doing this.

Lamb sucks and Morrow is a spot up shooter.

We need the defense he brings. Roberson isn't the problem.

Thunder won't win anything if they don't fire Scott Brooks.

So you're telling me not having to guard a player at all can really affect a defense?

3ball please explain.

If Durant replaced Demare Carroll, (no offense to Caroll I love him) I'm not sure that we would lose a single game.

Coaching is #1 for me. This assuming most teams are equal with talent, which they are.

you are missing the trend in the league - to win an NBA championship, you must have one of the best offenses in the league - you can't win with JUST defense anymore like you could before.

accordingly, all the best teams in the league have loaded themselves up with pure shooters - guys that are automatic from both 3-point range and like 17 footers too... that's why Atlanta is doing so well - they are one of the better shooting teams in the league.

do you see some 2ppg dude starting on HOU, GS, Spurs, Dallas, Chicago, Cleveland, clippers, or any other team in the league?

only OKC, because they have the dumbest coach in the league.... btw, lamb is a good player - his minutes are just way too sporadic.

Just because Roberson starts doesn't mean he gets starter minutes.

Morrow averages more minutes and is in the game during crunch time where as Roberson rarely plays in the 4th.

I say we start Morrow and have Waiters come off the bench. Though Waiters and Jackson are redundant, I like when Westbrook/Durant/Morrow are on the court together.

We really need to make another trade involving Jackson/lamb/Jones. Lamb is not a good player and any time we face a good perimeter defense he CRUMBLES. He cant handle physicality and in the playoffs he would be like a deer in headlights. He has talent but he's not even close to being ready for playoff basketball.

bro what the hell are you taling about you still need defense. The problem is he can't hit the open threes which makes the offense awful. You still need defense to win. Spurs were a top 5 defense last year

[Beastmode88]

OKC aint winning anything with hero ball.
