Why, did you like Monty?

This Lowe article on Scott Brooks read like a future post mortem on Monty, tbh.
quote:
Brooks evolved after those 2012 Finals, but he was never a coach who could tilt the odds in Oklahoma City’s favor during a playoff series. The same issues always cropped up: He overplayed Perkins, underplayed lineups featuring Durant at power forward, favored aging veterans who couldn’t play anymore, failed to stagger the minutes of his stars, bizarrely had his big men hedge out 35 feet from the basket on nonthreatening pick-and-rolls, and waited a game or a quarter too long to yank lineups that just weren’t working. Brooks’s hook was faster in 2014 than it had been in 2012, but it wasn’t fast enough.
quote:
The Thunder brain trust had to have known this before today, which is what makes the timing so curious — in some ways. They probably knew it after the playoffs in 2013 and 2014, when the Thunder offense looked increasingly antiquated — a star system that couldn’t adapt. Nothing that happened this season should have impacted the franchise’s view of Brooks.
quote:
The Thunder should look carefully at what happened in Golden State this season. The Warriors under Mark Jackson had a decent offense — not as good as Oklahoma City’s, but solid enough when Stephen Curry was on the floor. With more seasoning and good health, the Jackson Warriors could have been a top-10 or even top-five offense. The talent is that strong.
But Kerr, Gentry, and Ron Adams saw the chance to craft something more powerful. In the end, the current Warriors offense might produce only a couple more points per 100 possessions than Jackson’s offense could have in time. That doesn’t sound like much, but that small difference in quality could mean everything in the last two or three rounds of the playoffs. Perhaps Gentry could do something similar for the Thunder. The stats might not change much, but if the system does, those stats could be more sustainable in the games that mean the most.

Not really. Monty seemed to have a good relationship with the players which was about all I liked about him.

I'm perplexed at the Cal hate. I guess meeting expectations with extremely young players is a bad thing suddenly?
Why do people hate him so much out of curiosity? Players universally love him, he'd probably have success bringing in legitimate assistants, and Davis would likely sign the extension at midnight on July 1st.

IDK...
I assume it's because of his tenure with the Nets in the 90's.

Meeting expectations? The guy routinely has a huge talent gap in his favor but can't win when it matters.

Well which is it? At the beginning of the college season all I hear is that although UK is so much more talented than everybody else, they have no experience, can't win it all with all of those freshman no matter how good they are, and none of those guys play team ball. All they want to do is get to the NBA. Now that the season is over, he can't win the big one even though he has all of that talent.
Do you have any idea how difficult is is to get 10 McD all Americans that are 18-19 years old that were all AAU circuit studs to buy in to playing as a team in less than 9 months? He's made the final four 4 out of 6 years and a title. I think he is the perfect guy to get players to buy in and keep egos in check. He's not the same coach he was during the Nets tenure. Plus, I think he would get top free agents to look our way because of his style. He has tons of relationships and connections with NBA players and they all love him.

So basically he's a good recruiter you're saying? We all know that. But his excellent recruiting hasn't made up for his lack of Xs and Os IQ.

Hell no on Coach Cal. His strengths do not translate at all to the NBA. You can't recruit/buy your way to the NBA title.

Erik Spoelstra says hello. I am not saying he is a horrible coach, but he won with recruited talent.
I am not saying Calipari could make it happen; however, if any coach had both AD and Cousins as their starters at the PF and C spot it would be beyond incredible.
