quote:This. Anybody that makes the WCF the year before isn't going to change much. basically the only thing that changed was that we took a flyer on Ty Lawson. We were actually better last year with 2-3 of our main players missing large chunks of the season. Doesn't make sense. Brewer was a lot better last year too.
I'm going to give Morey a pass for putting together a team that made the WCF and brought back almost everyone. No one saw this season coming. That being said, he better realize personalities meshing is an important part of a championship team going forward. Les is actually a fantastic owner. The guy wants to win. He sees this and will have a sit down with Daryl at the end of the season to discuss what needs to be done.

No pride. No effort. Pretty damned disappointing. All season.
Brewer has been atrocious. Now that KJ is playing a little he looks much better than Brewer. If JB had half a brain KJ would have gotten most of Brewer's minutes this year.

FREAKING. THIS.
quote:Meh, KJ had a few decent plays in the first quarter but other than that he didn't do much including a couple of turnovers in the second half.

quote:KJ was resurrected from the dead about a month ago. Before that he was so far at the end of the bench he wasn't even in the stadium anymore. I am not saying that he is an all star but Brewer has been consistently awful for pretty much the entire season. JB could have tried something else and that is my main point.quote:Meh, KJ had a few decent plays in the first quarter but other than that he didn't do much including a couple of turnovers in the second half.

On the topic of coaches, our top two targets will most likely be Scott Brooks and Kelvin Sampson.

I always liked Kelvin
I like that KD likes Scott Brooks.
i still can't believe the rockets gave brewer an 8M AAV contract -_-
quote:I have to give them a bit of a pass on this. Brewer was excellent in the playoffs last year. Who could have foreseen that he would forget how to play basketball. Brewer makes James look like an excellent ball handler.

quote:Scott Brooks is an awful coach. Look how much the Thunder underachieved and how much crap he took for basically have no offensive scheme/identity whatsoever.

He is, but like....then we get Kevin Durant.
Hey, that's good news for us
X's and O's wise, I don't disagree with you, but he is excellent at developing talent and was able to get his teams to play defense. That's worth more than what Bickerstaff has done. You need a coach guys buy into, and Brooks definitely had that going for him in OKC.
quote:He is no hall of famer but I don't think he is terrible. He took a really talented team to the finals and likely keeps his job after last season if one of his superstars didn't miss most of the season. I wouldn't be thrilled with a Scott Brooks hire but I also wouldn't think it was the end of the world.quote:Scott Brooks is an awful coach.

The most important thing a new coach can do is get James motivated to play hard every night. I am not sure if that coach exists or how you would even go about finding that coach but that needs to be priority number 1.
Hell no to Brooks or Sampson.
I'd be fine with Brooks.
And then we get Durant.
And then we get Durant.
Brooks is terrible and an underachiever? What the hell crack are you guys smoking? He ended up going to at least the conference finals in 3 out of 4 seasons in the really stacked western conference... That's a hell of a feat I don't care how much talent you have.
He's not Poppovich or Kerr... That stature but I'd definitely take him over Mchale or crappy Bickerstaff. Brooks is a quality coach.

Anyone mentioned Thibodeau yet as a potential hire? Dude definitely wouldn't stand for the **** defensive efforts we've seen this season.
quote:Not sure Thibs is in the running. James is going to have an incredible amount of say in this hire. I personally do not see him being high on Thibs. I also don't know if the rest of the guys on this team would buy into Thibs either.

quote:Why do you say that? Who would you suggest?
Hell no to Brooks or Sampson.
....whoever Durant wants.
quote:I think we're in the running along with OKC and GS. My money is on he signs a one year deal with OKC this offseason though, makes one more run with Russ, then the two decide what to do in the summer of 2017.
Do you guys really think you have a reasonable chance with Durant or is that just a fun thing to hope for on this board?
I see very little chance he goes to Houston. I think it's OKC or WAS. (Or of course, the Spurs!)
GS would not be fair. At all.
And WTF, my post got deleted? The overly sensitive Houston fan moderator strikes again.

I think it's wizards or rockets or spurs

I'm a season ticket holder and even I don't want to go to playoff games to watch this team.
Make it three. Not interested in the least...I actually sold the Phoenix and Sacramento games for very close to face value, which shocked me.
I'll consider getting playoff tickets if we get the 8 seed just to watch the Warriors.

We opted to get playoff tickets. Could probably make some money on Warriors tickets. I won't sell any tickets to Spurs fans.
Howard is a stat sheet hoar and nothing more.

Typical game-ending rollover. This season cannot end fast enough.
