N: Okc at the moment is not in the playoffs

V: gently caress it don't make the playoffs and let some magical bullshit happen where they get a top 5 pick

This season got really loving depressing over the past week and a half. Lets all hope Russ doesn't kill himself for nothing over the next week.

No you see we're not the worst because the Lynx won two titles :downs:

I did laugh pretty hard when I was in the Target Center over the weekend and there was a bunch of Lynx banners and one Wolves banner.

I'm happy they fired Brooks but kind of weird when they appeared to want Ollie and he said no this morning.

I still don't think Brooks is a bad coach overall. He obviously has some serious flaws that have been detailed here and in the media for the past 7 years. I think he would be a good fit on a team with young players that need to learn how to play defense. I don't think Presti will hire a retread, which should make next year even more exciting. Durant and Russ have previously said they have no interaction with management on these decisions, but I suspect they both signed off on this and will probably okay the new hire too.

also, Whoa.

Some insider tweeted Presti made the decision without consulting with any of the players. This makes me nervous.

Who? The closest thing to a Thunder insider is probably Royce Young, and he's blindsided plenty.

Found the tweet:

OKC GM Sam Presti made call of firing Scott Brooks w/out consulting his players, & it was about the long view more than it was last season

Not sure how reliable he is though.

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