What a shitty fucking day...unbelievable really...Im still in denial hoping that the reporters jumped the gun on this story He is going to get eaten up by the fans, media, and eventually the players...at least Ill probably get a fat bump up the line in the wait for season tix...fuck me...
I'm interested to see what Mike Brown can do with more than one elite player. People are acting like him not winning a title with LeBron and a bunch of mediocre role players is a strike against him. I think coaching one of those teams to the NBA Finals is a rather incredible achievement. The only one superstar NBA title team that I can think of in the past 20 years is the first Houston title team. Of course, that was the first year of not having Jordan, so even that title is a bit suspect, IMO. Mike Brown is only 41 years-old, he's never lost a playoff series, he's never missed the playoffs, and he's made an NBA Finals. I wish the Blazers had a coach with that record.
I meant first-round playoffs series. My apologies, ProfessorSpeed. I'm sure you could have deduced that information from reading the rest of the post, or by checking out Brown's coaching record, but I do thank you for pointing out an obvious error.
