He's like 6 foot. Is that considered midget these days?

He is 5'11. I thought he was like 5"8 and I don't consider Brooks or Spolstra to be good coaches

Scott's a terrible coach? Wow. I suppose that's why he lead Oklahoma City to a Western Conference final this year after just two years ago they were the worst team in the NBA.

Because he was responsible for his team losing TWO Big leads two games in a row

I told you earlier he was a bad coach. It was proven tonight. That retard never designed a play for Wade to get the ball or for him to bring up the ball

I didn't agree with all of Brooks' decisions in those games. I thought he could have done better. But the entire team could have done a heck of a lot better, too. The Thunder folded, plain and simple. Experience trumps youth in those kinds of crunch situations, and the Mavs played like pros when it counted.

Realistically, I think Scott Brooks played a big role in getting the Thunder where they are right now. Do adjustments need to be made? Sure. But there is a lot of potential across the board in OKC and I think their performance this year was more than any fan could have expected given recent history.

In my opinion, firing the coach who built this Thunder team would be an incredibly bad idea at this juncture. The team is young and not emotionally grounded. A lot of players are probably upset about the way their season ended - as they should be. But the fundamentals are still solid, and with a little work I think they can be a championship-caliber team next season. Completely disrupting the existing order is not a good move here because the results are very unpredictable and there is more to lose than to gain.

He better make sure that the team doesn't goes in the opposite direction-lol
