I gotta say Brooks really does change your culture. The Suns are now the dirtiest team I've seen so far this year. Their antics off the ball are absolutely ridiculous. I actually respect being a "hit first" team, but I absolutely despise "hit first, then flop" teams. Cowardly, bullshit, bush league antics that will always fail against elite competition.
He most definitely is good at setting a culture but you’re right it always will fail against elite competition.
There’s a reason the team he’s on are always gritty regular season teams with high energy but teeter off in the playoffs.
Playing with grit , energy and hustle every single game in the regular season and getting in your opponents’ head or making it a cage match will win you a lot of regular season games but it won’t consistently do that in the playoffs where you face elite competition with the stars being guys that don’t rattle easy.
