Let's Be Real: Scott Brooks Ruined the Finals

[superunknown23]

Honestly, the Thunder shouldn't have even won the first game. At no point in this series did they look like the better team.

Dude should've switched it up and played some zone. Van Gundy even said it.

All I know is that the worst decision he made was in yesterday's game when he decided to have them double Lebron. If the NBA tracked assists, Lebron would have had over 20 last night.

The Heat probably shot 70% while Lebron was being doubled, and they stopped doing it in the 4th when the game was over... Dumbass Brooks

I'm sure the Heat saw that nikka on the floor and were like...

real talk

Nah the Heat roleplayers were finally hitting open shots this series. Not sure it would've mattered much.

Harden on Bron

Rotations

infuriating

the story of what happened to the thunder is exactly what happened to the bulls last season.

when you are young, you are young. a lot of youth showed with them dudes in this series. they couldnt close out games. coaching has something to do with that but coaches cant teach poise. thats just something only doing it for 9 seasons like bron and wade have will teach you.

thunder will have they time

bulls will have theirs.

the thunder and the bulls situtions are nothing alike

bulls lost because yall just dont have enough talent. thunder lost because of poor coaching decisions and schemes

lebron only made 10 shots outside of the paint this series. scott brooks did a terrible job.

derrick fisher played 29 minutes, thabo played 9

he defended lebron with harden and let their best defender rot on the bench

 

[Bilz]

Phil Jackson should be their number 1 priority (if he wants to coach)

#1 priority is making sure that Derek Fisher won't be on the court and Phil Jackson loves the guy. Not a good mix IMO.

Brooks is no genius or anything and made mistakes like being too loyal to Perkins and Fisher but i dont really put much stock into nba coaching deciding titles..

Harden gave them nothing that was the difference..Thunder have nowhere else to go for a third option..

Collison? Thabo? Ibaka? Perkins? these guys are offensively challenged..you cant survive with two guys scoring..

Heat role players played much better that was also a huge difference.. Lebron got his ass in the post and was controlling the game and setting up wide open 3's for teammates from the post like Duncan in the early 2000's it was a thing of beauty..

As great a scorer as Durant is he doesotn cotnrol and dominate the way Lebron does for himself and others..

basically.

When we say Harden gave them nothing he really did

I mean his game 4 and 5 performances were truly disgusting. Hurting to watch

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't do this considering how effective the mavs were with it. And especially with the fact that outside of Durant, they really didn't have anyone that could guard Lebron oneonone (he just powers over Stef and harden and blows by bigger guys).

I see what you're getting at. OKC has more talent, but Chicago still shouldn't have went out like they did last year, just like OKC shouldn't of went out like this this year.

The ECFs were even closer than this series, but much like Brooks going to Perk too much, Thibs played Boozer way too much, and didn't even think of Kurt Thomas, then on top of that, he rode with Korver instead of playing Brewer and Bogans (who shot the highest percentage from 3 in the playoffs for the squad) much like how Brooks benched Thabo.

Even though Chicago's talent wasn't where OKC's was, the Heat were a fragile squad last year, and the Bulls had no business dropping 4 straight to them.

if you play brewer or bogans over korver your spacing is even worse because nobody respects those guys on offense

Bron stayed in the paint bodying ppl. Yes miller was hot but the zone would've of atleast kept Bron out the paint, and forced him to hit jumpers.

 

[BIGGER_THANLIFE]

Scott did some dumbass shyt against Spurs but what really pissed me off last night 2 things

1. Not taking off Perkins

2. HARDEN GUARDING LEBRON

 

[Data-Hawk]

Just say yall hate the heat n stoP making excuses for these other teams.
All these wouldve shouldve could of crap just sounds like crying.

The heat shouldnt of beat the bulls last yr well they did.
The heat shouldnt of beat the thunders this year well they did.

And they both went out 4-1. Haha
