Q: If Phil Jackson learned the triangle offense from Tex Winter, then who was Scott Brooks’s mentor for Oklahoma City’s “Clogged Toilet” offense? Was it just Mike Brown, or were Vinny Del Negro and Mike Woodson involved as well?

Here’s my working theory: Early in Brooks’s playing career, he played in Minnesota for Jimmy Rodgers, the longtime Celtics assistant and honorary head coach of the Ghastly 1980s NBA Permafro Team (a.k.a. The Jack Sikma All-Stars). Rodgers had already failed as K.C. Jones’s replacement in Boston, where he got fired after two years partly for running the same Clogged Toilet offense that K.C. had perfected. During K.C.’s last Celtics season, the Celtics ran the same dump-it-to-Larry-on-the-right-post crunch-time play 575 straight times in the 1988 playoffs. It didn’t matter if the Legend was double-teamed, triple-teamed, quadruple-teamed … we were still running that play because we had no other plays.

So Jimmy learned from the Clogged Toilet master. And eventually, Brooks learned from Jimmy, so it’s something of a Clogged Toilet coaching tree. But every time I see OKC barely getting KD the ball 35 feet from the basket — or even better, taking 15 seconds to post him up on the low block, followed by KD dribbling back behind the 3-point line as soon as he gets it — I always picture K.C. Jones and Jimmy Rodgers nodding proudly. You need a great plunger when you run the Clogged Toilet: K.C. and Jimmy had Bird; Mike Brown had LeBron; and Brooks has Durant.

LMA was too tentative down the stretch for me also. If he was hot, I don't think there was a way he would have passed on some wide open shots he had. After some good passes, he decided to not take a shot. In some cases it led to a basket (batum layup etc.) but he could have been more aggressive to seal that game.

edit: Like I said during and right after the game though, Lin saved that game for them. Howard/Harden are so mentally weak.

McHale is so good, next level coach...said no one ever.

I hope he goes next season regardless of how we finish.

Isn't he just there largely as an ego manager? HoF coach to keep Harden and Howard in line. I really don't think their problem is coaching anyway, Harden just needs to stop playing like ass.


Yeah but supposedly Sampson was doing that (at least on defense) and was mostly on Harden's case. Ever since he left to UH it seems worse to me (though to be fair Howard and Beverley missed games shortly after due to injuries.

idk, i mean yes he's supposed to be managing the egos but if isn't/wasn't doing that? If he infact is pretty okay at it i wouldn't mind if he's surrounded by competent assistants but something seems off at the moment.

Just heard about and read up on Sterling. There's no place for him in the league, right? They basically have to force him out?

How much money you have? Probably cost minimum $2 billion to buy him out.

I know the NBA has greater latitude since they are like a private club, but it seems like a hard sell to force him out. Absent any proof of actual discrimination, the best they could do is argue is that his conduct was detrimental to the league. The nature of the situation is somewhat bizarre: The conversation was private so you can't argue that it falls under some code of conduct like when players/coaches/owners get DUIs or make public statements. What is the NBA the moral police and going to fine him for being a bad boy so he learns his lesson?

Any kind of actual "force out" would be a 5 year legal battle with the NBA probably losing (or settling for a massive number) anyways. Also would open them up to a whole host of anti trust suits that every sports league is rightly scared shitless of.

I see your point, it's clearly a difficult situation. My thought would be the league would have to make a Godfather offer, and then just eat the loss when they find someone to buy the team, but that obviously doesn't make much financial sense. What other option does that leave them?

I wonder what the players have to say about this. Wouldn't be surprised if they refused to play next year if he is still the owner.

Elgin Baylor literally sued him because he was a horrible racist piece of shit to him and Sterling got out of it due to ridiculous lawyeristic loopholes. There have been countless reports on this for years and years.

I guess a recording is more damning but everyone who cared to know knew Sterling was like this. The NBA will fine him, suggest sensitivity training, and sweep it under the rug.

Cognitive Dissonance, friend. Most people work for a piece of shit if you track their employment up the ladder. Still worth cashing those checks and living in LA.

All they have to do is ignore it and people will forget about it anyway. No one really cares what some old man says that's on his way out.

He'll get a slap on the wrist. Anyone who knows the NBA should know about Sterling: he is, and continues to be, an awful person. But it's been that way for a long time. There's actually some hilarious stories, his racism is almost whimsical in its old-style delivery. Read about the locker room shower story.

I've heard about that. He sounds like he wants to be an antebellum slave owner or something. It's very weird.

He'll probably just face a fine that it'd be trivial for him to pay. The league will probably make some speech about how it's unacceptable but at the end of the day I don't think there's much they can really do to him.
