    SAS told me he wasn't, so that confirmed to me that he is.

    Imagine Harden and Westbrook playing the pick'n'roll. Harden is the ball handler, Westbrook is the roller. What do you see?

    Unless Greg Popovich becomes available you arent going to find a coach thats going to make much more of a difference... MDA is at least respected by everyone in the NBA and wont get punked by stars.

    Russell Brodie will be the second assistant coach.

    I keep saying this, but I just don’t see the point of keeping MDA but firing his staff. It’s almost like they are trying to set him up to fail. MDA is one of best coaches in this league, and I want to see what he can do with Westbrook. If we get rid of him I would like Ty Lue.

    Westbrook is not going to win a championship with his shooting and defense

    Westbrook looking up "how to be a roll man" on his iphone...?

    27. The first is performance as a roll man in the pick-and-roll. Last season, Westbrook finished a grand total of one possession in this role. The season before, he finished three. Going back season by season, that kind of absence continues: one, three, one, three, four, one.

    Yes, he is. If he really has the organization behind him, he will succeed.

    It will be not impossibru but everyone else has to shoot at least or over 38% from deep.

    Capela not shooting a jumpshot would be a problem with WB.
