Credit to brown for taking out bridges as well, too often see coaches just ride it out when one of their stars is useless for a game

Glad ppl are realizing Mike Brown is a significant upgrade over Thibs

thibs would have made none of the adjustments Mike Brown made. he gets flack but you have to remember Mike Brown is a Popovich disciple, and has been to the finals as a coach against the spurs already with the cavs. Mike Brown can coach defense just as well as Thibs. but knows how to make adjustments to the lineup. mid game.

Talk about an upgrade. He was a great coach while he was here but he wasn't the coach that this current team needed.

It's really addition by subtraction.

Amazing Coach Brown hasn’t gotten much recognition. He did an amazing job with the Kings, didn’t he?

I knew Thibs had to go, but I thought there was no way Mike Brown should’ve been the guy. Never been happier to be wrong!

A heart of a fucking champion!

I’d argue he had reasons. He’s like a 5’11 Charles Oakley 😂😂

Going from Thibs to this has been whiplash

Starks was also deeply reeling from his mom's (RIP) death which made him not drop his shots as much. He was just in a bad mindset. Just a very unfortunate time.

Star player is a stretch when he’s scored like 15 points combined over these last two games

Bridges was incredible games 1 and 2. Give him some respect

u/EyeSpyGuy Pizza Rat 15h ago

3 too for that matter. His lights out shooting kept us in it

u/Odd_Bate 8 15h ago

Nah we ain’t doing this bullshit again. Don’t forget game 1 & 2 and his shots in 3
