Anyone who says Brooks isn’t a good coach isn’t paying attention or has a hidden agenda. Coach of the Year last year, All-Star coach this year, leading his team to the top of the Western Division this year. Played for the Western Division Championship last year. The players like him. He has a good group of assistants. He’s a very good man. He’s a great role model. What’s not to like? should he call you, or you and ask what you would do in certain situations? I think I’ll leave it in his able hands, thank you.

What about trading for Channing Frye as a backup C/PF ??? He would really open up the court for Durant/Westbrook/Harden with his 3 point shooting by pulling out the other teams big man … Plus we need bench scoring from our big men

Sometimes it feels like Brooks is holding the thunder back and giving kd and westbrook too much leeway..eventually the thunder will win coz they have too much talent but if they were better coached we have a better and deeper team than the other major contenders

Im a huge Thunder fan and I’m enjoying the current success they are having…but me being a fan do not make me bias…the Thunder have been playing lazy “Let my talent win” basketball and im pretty sick of it…Westbrook finds a way to consistently jack up shots as if the shot clock is only 5 seconds…Durant been playing defense that’s slightly better than Melo(that’s not a compliment) and Scott Brooks playbook must be as thin as a take-out menu…it’s like he dosen’t have the voice or charisma to get these guys to the next level…i mean why not run move effective plays? Make them understand the inportance of BALL MOVEMENT? I mean i’ve seen the same handful of plays all years and it’s sad!I….but I also understand these guys are young and still learning and it has showed with the IMMATURE basketball of late…I 100% agree with this article and hope the Thunder smooth out because playoff time is around the corner and it’s time to have some type of half court offense because although it is the season of CHANGING OF THE GUARDS these Vet teams are not going out w/I a fight… #ThunderUpRegard

[...] Darnell Mayberry: “Some things are just a given in a Thunder game. Like Westbrook not getting back on D. If he misses a shot, falls to the floor or thinks he got fouled on a play, Westbrook is guaranteed to gripe to the officials and lollygag back down on D. He did it late in the first quarter after a missed 15-footer in which he thought he got fouled. And as he pleaded his case, the Rockets were off and running, playing 5-on-4. Courtney Lee ultimately got a corner 3 in transition.” [...]

It’s getting close to crunch time. No doubt we have some of the best talent in the league they must learn how to use it to their advantage. They need to take care of the ball, play defense like it’s always the end of the forth quarter & if the rest of the team is having a off shooting night (which happens often) then they should quit feeding them & let one of the big three shoot it at least the odds might be better. They need to keep trying the paint they seem to give up too early & settle for jump shots. The next couple of games will tell the tale. Fingers crossed Go Thunder

I was just saying this morning that the thunder have been playing terrible since the all-star break, glad I’m not the only one who thought that.

if the thunder continue to play the next 2 games (denver, SA) like they have the previous ones, it’s gonna get ugly, fast. I mean, they barely beat denver last time and they didn’t have 2 of their best players!

Proud of the Thunder for what they’ve accomplished & what they stand for. Very confused & frustrated at the approach they take thinking they can win any game in the last minutes. They need to step on the apponents neck from the start. It’s better to cruise at the end of a game than to just go through the motions for 3 1/2 quarters. Realistcaly the Thunder should have only lost 1 game this year it was the beating at San Antonio which I’m sure they are really licking their lips for Fridays chance get even closer to winning the west. I just don’t get it.
