The incompetence of Mark Jackson and Scott Brooks have been on full display

[No coincidences]

The past two nights.

Hope their home crowds enjoyed it, because these two were owned in their own backyard by Hollins and Pops in must-win, do-or-die situations.

will brooks EVER set a screen for durant?

EVER?

[t-wizzle]

Name 1 way Pops has owned Jackson tonight. And don't give me "the score."

Umm, the tempo of the game?

Brook's gameplan:

- Play 4 on 5 basketball since Perkins is the worst center in the league and the other team doesn't even have to guard him.
- Let Durant bring the ball up court and dribble around fro 20 seconds while everyone stands around.
- Have Durant shoot a forced shot with two defenders draped on him.
- Have Durant dish to Fisher so he can brick a corner three if Durant gets triple teamed.

Mark Jackson is good for live TV soundbites during timeouts. He's a glorified cheerleader.

He has no idea how to handle his frontcourt rotation. None.

As for the Warriors, they were fool's gold.

I'm not surprised they won a few games because they do have some talent. When a team shoots lights out and over 50% from three, they're going to win most of the time. With that said, I didn't think the Warriors could do that 4 times against the Spurs.

brooks in his own league for incompetence with vinny d, god couldnt have coached gs to a win this series.

Mark Jackson's gameplan:

We gotta rebound da basketball, we gun go in transition and if you hav a contested 3 shoot it no questions asked. just give me bettah offens than defens anyday.

les go guys!!

He doesn't have a gameplan. But he sure does give great inspirational speeches during timeouts.

I used to talk about how Brooks does that with my buddy that works for the Thunder. He told me that the media isn't allowed to show clips of the coaches discussing Xs and Os during timeouts.

That's why all the soundbites we hear sound like cheer leading instead of actual coaching.

With that said, I really doubt that Jackson and Brooks are doing much coaching anyway....

LMAO.

Then when he really gets into it..."Guys, I wish I was there...I wish I was you!"

Brooks coaching:

"Guys, run, run, run. Shots are going to start falling. Run, run, run."

[TwoWays]

Hey man, props to the warriors. They had a season that im sure surpassed everyone's expectations. That said, wish they would have won this so we could bet on game 6

[vasilli07]

They have already overachieved by getting into the 2nd round.

[rawzay]

You forgot to add Mike Woodson to that list. It only took him 5 games to realize he needed Copeland and Prigioni's offense

[t-wizzle]

Umm, the tempo of the game?

He was telling them to push the ball. A ton of coaches tell their teams to do it, Brooks last night, Doc Rivers all the time, Collins said it all the time to the Sixers. It's not like you can snap your fingers and get out in transition. It's not that easy especially when the other team's guards are going back after the shot goes up.

Oh you mean the frontcourt that consists of a hobbled Bogut, David Lee with a torn hip flexor, Festus Ezeli (lol), Carl Landry, and Andris fukking Biedrins. Yea man that's just so much to work with.

Mark Jackson actually said in an interview with Doris Burke during the game that his team was about defense. Guy's a clown.

[t-wizzle]

Here's my thing no coin. I don't even think the guy is a good coach but at least I give reasons for it. You just throw shit against the wall and hope it sticks. I honestly don't think I've ever seen you give a reason when you bash a coach. Just "incompetence."

He might be smarter than we think by just trolling doris on national tv.

hold on...why is everyone hating on Jackson? And his speaches?

At the end of the day, not one person thought this team would make it this far. Ppl thought they would barely make the playoffs, but they make it comfortably. Beat the Nuggets without home court adv. and push the Spurs to 6 games (easily could've been 7 had they not choked game 1).

So whatever Jackson did, he did right because he got his team WAY further than they should've gone and whatever his gameplan was it worked. The bottom line is, they ran into the better team and eventhough they held their own in some games, tonight, the players just played like shit and didn't hit any of their shots.

They got to the second round by beating who?

A team that never gets out of the first round. Golden State has talent and will win games because they have talent. It doesn't mean Jackson is a good coach.

**A team that had its best player go down with a likely career altering injury

Well they beat a team that was 'supposed' to be better than them. I'm sure nobody expected Warriors to perform in the playoffs the way they did, and if anyone says so, they're clearly lying. Not saying beating Nuggets is overly impressive, but its good for these guys making their first playoff appearance. And just to play so well vs Spurs and push them to a 6-game series is def. impressive IMO.

And I'm not gonna say Jackson is a great coach, but he's def not a 'bad' coach and for sure does not deserve criticism like this. Its funny cuz anytime a team plays well ppl point to the players and when time comes when they lose, coach is bad. Just like with Clippers/Del Negro (he's not a bad coach, the team just isn't that good).

At the end of the day, the coach designs the plays, chooses the line-ups, rotations, and in this case, gives the lectures. So he has to be held accountable for how 'well' or how 'poor' the team does, to a certain extent anyways. And in this case, he took his team pretty much as far as he possibly could with the talent/experience on the roster.

Tonight was comedy night for Mr. Jackson...first was the 'were are defensive team, we don't worry about whether are shots are falling because we will win with defense' quote. Than during a timeout he was telling his guys that they didn't get that far by having a home run hitter...but those of us who watched the Denver series would disagree because Curry was penetrating MJ in that series.

I do think that he has a knack for getting his guys to believe the shit that comes out of his mouth...and at the end of the day that says alot because when the players believe, they get confidence and they play alot better than they would for a coach they don't trust. But I seriously doubt he himself believes half the shit that comes out of his mouth

[JM92]

So, Mark Jackson changes his lineup in game 2 of the first round after the injury to Bogut, gets criticized for trying to play speed with speed or whatever, and wins. Second round, he adapts to San Antonio's bigs. Gets Landry to start. Does better than anyone would've hoped with a 70-80% Curry and Bogut and, basically, no Lee. Motivates him team better than anyone (you guys that call him cheerleader either sucked at competetive sports or have never played them for sure) except Doc Rivers. And yet he's not competent. Who is then?

I really need to know. Who is competent in the nba as a coach if this guy isn't? For what he proved at least. I also thought it was dumb when he got hired, I also thought he was going to be really bad but well, guess what, he's proved me completely wrong. Please elucidate me of someone not named Popovich that is competent right now, if this guy isn't.

Most NBA teams would take that frontcourt in a heartbeat -- even with Lee and Bogut banged up. That's a lot of bigs to have on one roster.

[SportsTerminator]

Mark Jackson is a coach of the year candidate...
