Hopefully Ollie isn't the replacement

I guess he issued a statement saying he isn'g going anywhere, but you never know...
good move  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/22/2015 1:31 pm : link
Ollie or Donovan seem like strong candidates.
Woj also says  
nygiants16 : 4/22/2015 1:32 pm : link
Brooks becomes leading candidate in ORlando and Denver..

I do not get it, this guy is an awful coach, his offensive system makes Woodson's offense look dynamic..
horrible firing

. If okc felt this way why not fire him before this year. You fire him on a year durant was hurt yet you still almost made the playoffs?

The nba coaching roller coaster goes on.

With Harden, healthy Durant, healthy Westbrook, coach of the year.

Lose Harden, still have Durant and Westbrook, finals contender.

Durant lost for the season, fire that bum.
Bye coach  
est1986 : 4/22/2015 1:52 pm : link
Durant will soon follow suit
Ollie

Despite public statement, UConn's Kevin Ollie has significant interest in OKC coaching job, sources tell Yahoo. He's a top choice for Presti

Ollie could be the move that keeps Durant.
Brooks should've been fired years ago

But his team had enough talent to get deep despite him. He's a Vinny Del Negro level coach, maybe a hair better if you want to be nice.

Hopefully Durant gets healthy and OKC hires a good coach.

might be interested in the OKC gig. If so, would Kansas bring back Larry?

I think that the decision is probably more related to what they think will make KD happy than with a pure assessment of the job that Brooks did the past 2-3 years. There is something seriously weird going on in that lockerroom. The Grantland story about Westbrook and the media was just odd.
Durant might never be the same

Player again so I'd be leery about hiring Ollie just because KD loves him. Ollie is a damn good coach & knows that organization well.
