Mike Brown is a better coach than Del Negro. No doubt in my mind. Brown led the Cavs to the best record and took them deep in the playoffs. The Bulls sucked with Del Negro, then go deep in the playoffs. I mean, he is under .500 in his career with some talented teams. Mike Brown has had better players, but he would have the Bulls/Clippers at over .500 more than once in 4 years.

Brown had LeBron and a good supporting cast. They only got to the finals once. His offense was/is notoriously bad. Your win % looks pretty good when you've only been a head coach of arguably the two best players in the league.

VDN is by far the worst coach in the league. He has no credentials to be coaching these teams.

....and Mike Brown would have had BOTH Bulls teams at better than 41-41 and 7th/8th seeds. Mike Brown is not a great coach, but he is better than a few in the NBA. Hell, Id argue his terrible offense is better than Del Negros. Have you watched the Clippers this year/playoffs???

Mike Woodson is a pretty good defensive coach, but his offensive coaching ability is garbage. Anyone who watched that mess of a half court offense while he was in Atlanta knows what I'm talking about.

ESPN really is the worst. I love this "reaction" piece to the Clippers/Grizzlies game.

Blake got a A-, Paul got a B, Bledsoe a A-, and the rest of the team a B+

Then they have one little snipet about how the Grizzlies got a B-

ESPN is all about the large market teams and that's it. I don't care that the Clippers had a few "injured" but playing players. They lost a home game with a chance to close out the series, the Grizzlies outscored the Clippers 17-4 to end the game. At least talk about Zach Randolph's effort in a beastly double-double. Or talk about Marc Gasol or Mike Conley. Nope, they chose to focus on the losing team and rated them higher than the team that won.

The worst.

No, Steve Nash would have won it. That team actually competed up until the last game for a playoff spot in the West with a team that maybe wins 12 games without him.

LOL, they are not giving the MVP to a player who plays 21/2 qtrs a game and averaged 12 ppg. The Timberwolves actually went 1-10 without Love where saying Phoenix wins 12 games without Nash is nothing but a bad guess.

Minnesota's season turned for the worse when Ricky Rubio got hurt. Rubio for MVP!

It would be confusing if it wasn't on ESPN LA. It's the Lob City Ledger. It's about the Clippers.

I don't know about most annoying ever, but they're def an annoying team to watch because of all the whining/flopping they do. Its pretty impressive how they went from most people's favorite/team they wanted to watch the most, to a annoying team in one team. I can't think of another team in recent memory where that has happened.

I didn't pull it from the ESPN LA site. At the time it was the only ESPN piece about the game (from their main page, only thing about it).

I know it was the Lob City Ledger, bt you think they would also want to put up a piece that would be less biased. Even for an ESPN LA piece grading your team that lost the game as the higher grade is still dumb.

SMH, turdo strikes again with passive agressive idiocy.

You're right turdo, LBJ was able to beat regning NBA champs (pistons), lead his team to the finals, and best record in the NBA two years in a row with zero talent around him. Makes sense. Nice logic fail.

Who was Lebron's best teammate in Cleveland? Boobie Gibson, Varejao, Larry Hughes?

It wasn't about his best teammate, it was about the team as a whole and the depth they had. Mo Williams was a very good player and has contributed well to the LAC as well. Shaq was a good addition, Varejao is solid, etc...

You don't win 60+ games in two seasons with 1 great player and nothing else. Funny that the Heat haven't touched those marks.

Wasn't ever a Mike Brown fan, but the dude is solid. Much better than Spoelstra IMO. The Cavs tried to bring in pieces but the best they could do was a washed up Shaq. Nobody wanted to come there. I believe in my heart of hearts that Lebron would be in Cleveland if Bosh would have signed there. He didn't want to though.

Fact is Lebron had a bad supporting cast. He was never going to win a championship being surrounded by a bunch of Titos.
