I’ve been saying that this will get much worse and as Hardboiled mentioned in his post, we need Brown’s structure and holding players accountable more than ever, not go away from it. Doug found out in game 1….this team is showing it’s incapable of sustaining any type of hard nosed defense or attention to detail. Even in his post game presser, Doug is literally saying the same thing as what Brown has been asking for for weeks.
Now putting on my speculation hat after reading some information, I think Monte was trying to tell Brown who to play, as in Keon. Could be why you saw Keon sit a couple of games for no apparent reason. Shades of Pete D’Allesamdro and Michael Malone. I have no proof of this but it does make sense that there became an obvious rift.
The rift widened when Klutch met with Monte and Monte maybe making another demand of Brown. Bottom line is Brown shouldn’t be told what to do by the GM.
In regards to Brown and his style, why is it that a guy like Ime Udoka can be Uber aggressive with his players and now they are reaping the rewards and his players are taking on his personality, which is a tough nosed team. Brown tries to hold his team accountable and he gets pushback. Fox and Keegan and DDR and Monk are nice guys. Brooks and FVV and Amen, etc are fierce pains in the ass.
We need to move Fox when the right deal goes on the table
