Terrible evaluating the coaches. Brooks is a far better playoff coach than most people given credit. Spurs might be an older team but still had two top-20 talents and a healthy Manu last year. Brooks absolutely outcoached Pop in last year's WC series. How can he not when Spurs had the best record and beat them 4 straight after losing the first two??
Not knocking on Brooks, as he is clearly better than Mchale, but are you saying he didnt have talent on his team? He had the 2nd best player in the nba, a top 3 PG, and a star sixth man of the year. Not to mention low post beasts in Ibaka and Perkins and a solid bench. So yea, OKC was more talented than SA
Please learn how to read. I never said he didn't have talent but he went up against a talented team and a HOF coach and came up on top. Parker was better than Westbrook last year. Duncan still top of the league and a HOF. Manu was not much behind if not equal Harden as 6th man. Plus, who had a best record in the league? This is like say...are you saying if Thunder had McHale last year, they would beat the Spurs just the same? see what I did there?
