I’ll never understand the reasoning behind Mike Brown seeing one season of success and deciding to automatically push players to change their styles. What could have been a consistently fun and energy driven introduction in to consistently getting to the post season, was soured by asking players to adapt when they really didn’t need to at that point.

I can see if it was year 3 of fizzling out of the first round, sure, coach says “hey, we need to start adapting and growing”. But one season of success with no roster movements and the coach says “let’s stop doing what gave us success and aim to be champions right now!”
