Official Brett Brown thread

Henderson is a decent defender, a decent shooter and a guy that can finish at the rim...but he is a not a playmaker. Brett Brown has to start cutting his ISOS and his plays...just give Sergio the ball, and play the Pick and Roll with your bigs with your wings open for an open 3...it's easy, and if that doesn't work, try to find Biid in the post.
Sixers could be 3-2 right now, and the team seems to improve from last year, and that work is on BB, just like his poor decision timing when 76ers try to close games.

We can go through a long vetting and search in the offseason. In the meantime, we have the experienced O'Brien in place to steer the ship on an interim basis.

lolz. Get out, if you're saying you want Jim O'Brien as the coach of this team for any period of time.

Jim O'Brien is a bad coach. Brett Brown is an outright incompetent one. It's about mitigating disaster at this point.

You clearly didn't watch the post game press conference then. The plan was to get Joel the ball, and Henderson couldn't do it.

Yet you think that Henderson was supposed to take the final shot, and you think that that was a bad decision.

So this is your basis for saying that he makes bad decisions? You made an incorrect assumption, and then ascribed the intent to the coach.

Assuming he gets canned before or at the end of the season, I think we should stay away from current assistants as the best ones (Budz and Walton) have already been claimed. I'd prefer to avoid retreads as well (think Collins, O'Brien, Karl and D'Antoni) as they are usually retreads for a reason. IMO our best bet would be an up and coming college coach who is eventually looking to coach at the highest level. It may or may not work out, but I'd like to see a fresh face at the helm. Regardless we should have a lot more options than we did at the start of the Process.

Jeff Van Gundy. Maybe David Blatt if he has an opt out in Turkey. Honestly I'm not sure but we need to not settle for someone mediocre.

Teams don't typically replace coaches with outside guys in-season. The replacement would likely be J OB.

You don't get rid of Brown during the season, you just don't. For Jim OBrian? It will not improve us a single bit, and the players will be down on it. I am starting to sour on him as well. But he has NEVER, not once since he started here, had his whole roster. Give him the season. Let Noel, Bayless, and Simmons come back. If there is improvement after the all star break, you keep him. If the team still looks unorganized at the end of the season, you move on.

IDGAF about a press conference or what Brown says. In my opinion is was poorly drawn up, and poorly executed.

Back to the play, I get it....the main guys were well covered, Henderson was our option, Cleveland knew it, he panicked, and Cleveland knew he would. Plain and simple. It was a bad idea to have him out there, that's not all on BB, but he needs to realize this, and he needs to better prepare us for situations like this.
Look i'm trying to keep this basketball related, but this is where we miss a Jerryd Bayless or Ben Simmons. If either one of them are healthy, Hendo stays in his comfort zone as a solid role player and doesn't see the floor with the game on the line. Cavs knew he was the weak link at that point. I would have went with a different lineup to handle that last possession. I would have went big with shooters. Rodriguez, Cov, Saric, Ersan, and JoJo.

If only Brett had kept the beard. All of this could have been avoided.

The bad decision was not calling a play himself, based on his judgment as the head coach, and instead relying on the players to do the play-calling. Brown said post-game: "they thought they saw something," which implies Brown didn't see it.

You said that it was a bad decision to have Henderson take the final shot, and I pointed out that that that wasn't the plan, and you pivoted your rationale then.

That's the point. You guys are just pissed at the results and you are ascribing blame to the coach.

You should be blaming the lack of talent on the team if you are going to blame anything. In reality, we shouldn't even care about the results of these games because they don't matter. The important thing is that we develop Embiid and Simmons.

Embiid is one of the best players in the league already, and how soon we seem to forget that we have Simmons too. Fans should be pinching themselves because of how well things are going instead of chewing on themselves over the results of meaningless games.
