    His coaching style is basically running the same play over and over again with different looks. Its sad that lebron has to be coached by this Loser. :eek:

    I agree the Cavs' offense is stagnant and predictable, but he's hardly been a 'loser.'

    The Cavs have done quite well in the playoffs (and now the regular season as well) the last few years.

    The Cavs offense is hugely improved over past years. LeBron is definitely more used off the ball this year.

    Don't read too much into today's game. This season, Mike Brown has loosened up their offense quite a bit compared to years past. Adding Mo Williams helped a lot. At the same time, Brown has always had the Cavs playing at a high level on defense.

    On this forum, I used to blast Mike Brown on a regular basis and call for his firing. But he is growing and improving as a coach. Again, today's game is not indicative of the Cavs this season. In fairness though, they haven't played very well in a few weeks and have been coasting IMO (despite what their record is). Maybe this was the wakeup call the Cavs need to make an inspired rush to the finish line over the last 25 or so games.

    No way he's been outcoached half as much as Adelman this season. Soon the Cavs will best in the East with Garnett down and Marbury coming in. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sure Battier and Artest played a huge role in your opinion tonight. Excluding JVG and Tom T, who would you replace him with?

    he's a good defensive coach. he's a good motivator. lastly, he's got a good philosophy. however, he rarely makes good adjustments during the game.

    his offense is coming along. playing lebron at the 4 with a bunch of shooters was a great new wrinkle for this season. however, they still need to run more.

    he's not a lost cause at all. but he's still very young and not all that experienced as a head coach. he may not be the best fit for lebron right now, but he will grow into a great coach.

    Someone at the game last night yelled out to him "Mike Brown, you look like a giant thumb"

    After I thought about it for a second, he kinda did.

    Considering the players on the team since he became a head coach....I admire his defensive prowess. The ability to instill defense in his players who love to shoot the 3 is commendable.
