Mike Brown Hired as Head Coach

Re: Lloyd: Mike Brown expected to be announced as head coach tomorrow

When you're giving a backline of old and hobbled Z, one legged Ben Wallace, and 38 year old sloth Shaq, its hard to fully run the defense you want.

Mike Brown is so good at coaching defense and defensive schemes, that the Magic in 08-09 and Celtics in 09-10 both averaged over 100 ppg against the Cavs.

Not my first choice but the truth is that it probably doesn't matter much. As I've posted before, there is clear factual scientific/academic evidence that most NBA coaches have little impact on team performance. Yes, I realize that flabergasts many, but that's what the evidence shows. Whether the Cavs win or not isn't going to come down to Mike Brown. It's about the talent and quality of the players themselves (and the front office that gets them on the team).

I'll be sure to stay away from all other basketball forums for the next few days. The jokes are going to be unbearable.

Suck it up Brown haters, your pants might be the color brown with this news, but Mr. Potato Head is coming back.

Good, after what I've seen the last two years defensively, is an utter joke. This team never, ever, has a chance of doing anything with the matador defense Byron Scott accepted. That shit won't fly with Mike Brown.

Like it. Never thought he should have been fired in the first place.

Don't care one way or the other. Not Phil Jackson or Popovich, so he will be gone within four years either way.

I'm neutral as I would have been on Shaw or anyone else.

My guess: Jamahl Mosley, Nate Tibetts, Alex Jensen and the offensive coordinator of his choosing..

Obviously, the ABJ is the place you work as a reporter if you want to develop insider connections with the Cavs. Good for Lloyd.

This is just setting the stage for a full reunion in 2014. This is all part of the grand plan. LOL.

the offensive coordinator of his choosing.

I don't want him to get to choose. :chuckles:
