I think the Bulls go down to Miami in the ECF.

Miami will face the Spurs again but with a different result. Spurs are better this year than last. Duncan walks away from the game with a ring.

I don't remember another team that has collapsed this bad without injuries being the main cause.

Damn, that was nice. The contact was playing the ball, and he threw in a little bit of a flop though. But still very nice, very clutch.

I just.....don't think Scott Brooks is any good.

Why?


I don't follow the NBA that closely and I haven't seen the Thunder's playoff games...I just assumed he was as decently good coach based off the Thunders success. I heard Bill Simmons today say that if the Thunder were to lose in the first round that he thinks Brooks would be gone and I was shocked. So please fill me in here I'm in the darken this topic.

I wish I could provide a better, in depth answer, but I just don't see enough Thunder games to give a full answer. From what I've seen I'd say this:
- gives Westbrook too long of a leash.
- sets out of timeouts just seem off to me.

Case in point, there was no doubt to me that Westbrook wasn't going to take that shot at the end of regulation. I realize it's tough to get the ball to Durant in that case, but have him bring the ball up the floor. I just don't trust Westbrook and he does a poor job of reigning him in.

Simmons is an idiot, but he's right, if they don't survive this round he should go.
