What the hell happened to him after he left Portland? It's like his career fell off a cliff.
I'm not sure Brooks is the issue. People point to the '12 Finals and the way he managed the center position, but then that's the same issue people criticized Vogel and Pop for this postseason. I just think Miami's small lineup creates a boggling mismatch at the center position, because the counters Spo can hatch are equally undesirable.
On top of that, Brooks had the misfortune of facing a Heat team that played better than this year's team. The role players shot well against the Thunder. If they shot that well this year, Indy and SAS would've been finished quicker.
I think Brooks gets undue hate, despite having a very successful record with a young team. I can't blame him for losing this year after Westbrook went down. It looks like the controlled chaos Brooks lets him play with is part of that team's secret recipe. PEACE.
We would have had a shot if Brooks had started Ibaka at C and Harden at SG, like how Pop did with Ginobili.
Maybe. He might have also shit the bed even more in the Finals if he had played in that role.Harden would have a much higher trade value too if they would have featured him a bit more....

All I know is that Harden matches up better with Battier than Perk does.He was like what, 21 at the time? The more you play him the faster he learns.

2k cheese purposes.beasley would be a great stretch 4 in miami

Just sign him already, Knicks. He got a Kanye West mixtape on YouTube!Ian Begley @IanBegley about 24 minutes ago
The #Knicks will workout Bobby Brown in NY, along w/2 others. Team wants another 1st-hand look at him. They have until 8/15 to sign him.
ESPN's article on shooting guards.

Who's the most underrated shooting guard in the NBA?
4 of the 5 answers: Gordon, Wade, Wince, Kmart.
I don't even...
Pelton: Vince Carter. Would you believe that Carter finished fourth in WARP behind the aforementioned big three? There's a wide gap between them, certainly, but the comparison to what Carter used to be has overshadowed what he still contributes in Dallas. Though Monta Ellis will make nearly four times as much as Carter, there's a good chance VC is the most valuable shooting guard on the Mavericks next season.
lol mavs.
I find it odd that Hayward has been working on his spot-up jumper this offseason when he was already in the 92nd percentile.
You know where I can find stats like spot up or off the dribble shooting percentages?
I got that stat from Coach Nick.. i'm guessing he gets them from Elias Sports?
I thought IWMTB had some sort of account at one of those places...
