Thus when predictions of a 53 win season seems low its really the process that things need to get sorted out. True with all teams mind you but after a trip to the semi's fan expectations are high.

I read Brown got walked over by Kobe the year he coached the lakers. Kobe for most of his career was a dick. Kobe never won a chip without Phil. Kobe was a complicated man and grew to mature over time. But like Lebron, and Jordan, and countless others they evolved over time. Matt Barnes has to say some controversial **** to get attention and perhaps Brown who had a great team there was too easy being still just 41 years old and perhaps intimidated by the veteran team who had lost the previous year to Dallas (eventaual Champion) and two seaosns from a chip. Both under Phil. Brown lasted one (Short 66 game season) and lost to Thunder who did get to finals with Durant and Company. He was fired the next seaosn after a 1-4 start and replaced by MDA who was 40-32 and lost in first round to Spurs. Lakers big change was moving disinterested Andrew Bynum and bought in a still quite good Dwight Howard who did have back issues. So its not like that team was really better after brown left. In fact that seems to be a common theme. Brown gets fired and team does not improve much in his abscence.

That was 14 years ago.

Each team has a different personality and given our core he might be the right guy. This is a veteran team that was tight. We all worried about Thibs and over 5 years he proved to be a bit different previous stops. Brown now age 55 most certainly has evolved given his experiences.

Im concerned about Maybe Kat being injured. Perhaps thats why he was not happy. As for his role in the offense? Maybe they just don't want to talk about it yet. Preseason did not show many reps with the starters so we have not seen much of our core. Yabu is not in synch yet. Jalen will be fine and perhaps Mikal as we read could really be more effective.

WE are .500 on talent alone and if so after 10 games I won't be at all concerned.

[Towns] on his potential in new offense under Mike Brown: “Honestly, I don’t know… I don’t know. But we’re figuring it out. Honestly, I just don’t know… it’s just different. It’s different.”

I don't think it should be a surprise to anyone that KAT wants to play in a ISO heavy offense where the floor is spread out giving him room tom operate

BTW, 54 wins. Swept by Minny in the finals.

JK… lose to the Thunder in 6.

Are we setting up to trade these cats???

This is just weird otherwise.

You're crazy. 50 wins, max. Second round exit.

We picked up new pieces, but there's a good chance Josh and Mitch miss most of the season.
