Coach Rab Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well, today the Thunder let go of Brooks...Crazy to think they would let him go after all of the injuries that plagued the team all year. Makes you wonder who they go after now? Calipari? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Calipari? Lol Please no. As of right now supposedly Kevin Ollie and Billy Donovan are the two candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Please no. As of right now supposedly Kevin Ollie and Billy Donovan are the two candidates. Donovan has already said the NBA is on the table for him. I think Ollie would be a good fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Mavs announced that Rondo is out indefinitely with a back injury sustained last night... The only thing that could have made the Rondo trade worse for Dallas was if he was married to a Kardashian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cats69 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well, today the Thunder let go of Brooks...Crazy to think they would let him go after all of the injuries that plagued the team all year. Makes you wonder who they go after now? It was for so much more than just the past season. The amount of talent on the team the past few years, if they would've had a Gregg Poppovich or Rick Carlisle, would've won at least one championship. Those years with Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, and Harden were loaded. Brooks is a nice guy, but his coaching (especially in game strategy) is just pathetic. His drawn up side line inbounds plays over and over were just throw it to Durant or Westbrook and go make a play. Countless times this season 2-3 seconds on the clock on last possession, it was throw it in to Russell 40 feet from the basket. It was just pathetic. It was past time to make a change. Also, as much of supporters as Westbrook and Durant were of Brooks, you know the GM Presti consulted with them before making the move. Especially considering the upcoming free agency for Durant after next season. They also wouldn't fire him without having their next guy ready to go.

Presti said in his press conference that he didn't consult with Durant or Westbrook, which is BS. You don't make that drastic of a change without consulting your 2 star players. The whole object is to win a championship and to get Durant to stay. Brooks has proven he can't do that over and over. The time has come for a change. Presti knows exactly who he is going to hire, don't let him fool you with his TV talk. Durant says he supports the decision to fire Brooks 100%, so I think this change is for the better. I liked Scott Brooks a lot, and he will get a job somewhere else. He has just ran his luck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Orlando should hire Brooks immediately. Another name added to the OKC watch list is Spurs assistant Ettore Messina. I thnk Alvin Gentry will be getting a look too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Whoever Durant wants... That's who I hire I don't think Durant cares as long as the team wins. He just goes with the flow. Westbrook would be the one to ram heads with a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
