LOL, with the recent news concerning the Cavs ownership I wouldn't be surprised to see "Mike Brown is a better coach than Adelman" type posts in the near future.
I don't know if using Doc Rivers as a justification for Brown's competence is going to make me appreciate Brown. Rivers is a nice guy and easy to get along with, but I don't see him as a great coach. Brown is just...meh. He's "fine". to borrow your term, but not COTY quality.
Ron Jeremy is coaching the **** out of the series. He's creating mismatches all over the place. Brown seriously looks like he's randomly throwing guys out there. Where are his adjustments last game on Rafer? He just let Alston get his shots anywhere from 15 feet out. Can someone explain to me his rhyme or reason for seemingly random minutes for his bench game to game? all he's doing is tightening up all his role players from being able to find a rhythm to find their shots Coach of the year is a joke when all he's done for years is give Lebron the ball in the 4th quarter and let him go 1 on 5.
