I've never been a Mike Brown fan, but he proved me wrong this season. Maybe he needed some more seasoning as an assistant before he was ready to win it all as a head coach. And in fairness, it's not like he hadn't gotten close to a title previously. I definitely agree with the Thibs/Ime comparisons. Both of them vocally and visibly berate their players, they play their starters way too many minutes, they're focused primarily on defense and hustle, and they appear to have a ceiling as a head coach. Unfortunately we're doomed to waste at least one more year on Ime, but hopefully Rockets management finally realizes they've hired a Thibs/Mark Jackson type who's not the right longterm fit for this team.
