TNT Panel Sums up why Brooks is a horrible coach

[Dr.J4ever]

Bill Simmons called OKC's offense the "Clogged Toilet Offense". Simmons said: " You need a good plunger to run this offenses", which OKC does with Durant.

[ZMonkey11]

And when OKC was running plays for Reggie Jackson, other analysts were complaining "why would you run plays for RJ when you have KD and Westbrook?"

People complain, **** it.

[JohnFreeman]

Superstars normally take over, but keep blaming the coach.

[SilkkTheShocker]

this

and who should Brooks run a play for? Perkins? Sefolosha? besides Reggie Jackson everyone else on the team is strictly a spot-up shooter.

So this argument works for KD in OKC but not Lebron in Cleveland?

The 4th quarter was bad from Brooks like usual, sure, but the 2nd quarter was atrocious. These Fisher/Butler lineups have been horrible all season (since acquiring Butler) and Brooks still has yet to adjust. Crawford scored like 4-5 times in a row on Butler and Brooks refused to adjust and put Thabo in until it was way too late and a 20 point lead was down to single digits. That was what cost OKC the game more than anything.

That argument doesn't work for LeBron in Cleveland? What? Who is saying that?

I almost forgot about that.

Butler was getting burned so badly by Crawford that it made Collison's defense on Westbrook look DPOY worthy.

Even Van Gundy was giving it to Brooks for failing to adjust.

Mind = blown at how badly Doc outcoached Brooks this game.

Doc being a much better coach than Brooks isn't mind blowing.

[JustinJDW]

Armchair coaching after the fact.

No, Scott Brooks is trying to coach a team of chuckers.

When things get tough the play is to push the ball down the court and shoot the pull up j... this works nearly half the time because that's just how good Westbrook and Durant are at shooting.

I don't think this is entirely Scott Brooks fault. OKC is a product of simply having some fantastic athletes on the court and their coach just letting them play.

Spurs get the "boring tag" because they are methodical and to the opposite extreme OKC gets a lot more time in the press because of the "loose cannons" like Westbrook.

It is what it is. Don't over analyze it. Everyone is making money and that's truly what's important to the owners and the NBA.

[Dresta]

This moron has already forgotten Reggie Jackson just so he can suck Durant's cawk. None of their roleplayers get shots because OKC doesn't play good team basketball, they just get Durant and Westbrook to take turns with iso ball. It's a bit like the 10-11 Miami Heat, before they learned to play together properly.

Brooks looks like he spends half of the time he works on offensive schemes just thinking about how those schemes will impact defensive transition. If it was 100% up to him he'd just leave Perkins behind and let the rest of the team play 4v5.

-Funny thing is even with all that defensive bull$hit the Clippers were still raping OKC in the 4th. For a supposedly good defensive coach some of his adjustements were plain silly.

-Putting Durant on CP3 and switching the PnR was stupid.

-Somebody please explain why Ibaka was Perkins 2.0 in the 2nd half, dude got literally no touches after hitting his first 2 shots.

-When CP3 switched to Durant, Westbrook found himself being guarded by Collison, why didn't they run the offense through Westbrook in the post? He would have:

-abused the crap out of him
-kept Collison from creating quick offense.
-forced LAC to go big hence slowing down the game and making that CP3-Griffin PnR easier to defend.

Obviously the Thunder are who they are and aren't going to change now, they are going to struggle moving the ball and getting open shots but there is no excuse for your team to struggle mightily with decision making down the stretch when you have 2 top 6 players in the league, veterans and decent secondary scorers.
