I wouldn't say Memphis has dominated. With that said, the better team wins close games so no excuses from me. Memphis has just been better. Same thing with OKC against Miami last year. Three of those games were one possession in the final minute and Miami made the plays because they were better.
As for Brooks, I have defended him in the past but can't defend him this playoffs. He was clueless in the two games OKC had chances to win in Memphis. The offense was horrible.
He also had to resort to the Hack a Turk in the Houston series with 6 minutes left at home. That's bush league and the sign of a coach that has run out of ideas.
It's a horrible offense to have Durant dribble up court, run around, and then jack up a forced shot with two defenders hanging off of him for 48 minutes.
