Mike Brown

The Golden State Warriors suspended Jordan Bell he reportedly placed a hotel charge on the personal credit card of assistant coach Mike Brown. Golden State announced his suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team.” The suspension was served in Wednesday’s win against the Memphis Grizzlies. Apparently Bell had charged an item or items to assistant [...]

It seems Tyronn Lue waxing respect for the Boston Celtics has offended the Golden State Warriors. At the very least, acting Warriors head coach Mike Brown has taken stock of it. The Cleveland Cavaliers head coach previously said that, to him, it was harder to game plan for the Celtics’ offense than for the Warriors’ [...]

Would Mike Brown be an assistant coach-turned-interim-head coach with the Golden State Warriors without Gregg Popovich? The short answer: Nope. Here’s Anthony Slater of the Bay Area New Group with the extended explanation: A year ago around this time, Steve Kerr was in the market for a new lead assistant and Mike Brown was a target. But [...]

David Blatt’s removal in Cleveland more or less means that LeBron James will be labeled a “coach killer.” That may not be fair to LeBron, but given the circumstances, that’s the general consensus. And as you can imagine, LeBron is none too pleased with this label. It’s amazing how it feels like the wheels have [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

If the press could manage to be more optimistic about a team with a 40-year old point guard, a 36-year old shooting guard, and a new coach, who hasn’t had a winning record since 2009, I haven’t seen it (at least not lately). New Head Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers Byron Scott: Welcome home! [...]

Byron Scott’s hire with the Los Angeles Lakers has been years in the making. So says Magic Johnson, anyway. The Lakers legend claims that the late owner told him he wanted Scott to coach the team someday, per For The Win’s Josh Peter: Byron Scott says he’s patient. But if he’d been more patient, he [...]

Times are a changing. One day, you’re Kobe Bryant, ruler of the Los Angeles Lakers. Your will be done. Don’t like Shaquille O’Neal? He’s gone. Championships? Got ’em. Comparisons to Michael Jordan? Check. Then, quite suddenly, you’re old, going on 36 and fresh off a season that saw you appear in just six games. You [...]

Mike D’Antoni hasn’t sugarcoated anything since joining the Los Angeles Lakers. When he was coaching the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks, you could never really get inside his head. Not like you can now. In Phoenix, there was an air of bravado in the way he spoke and confidence in his step. With the [...]

Mike Brown has no advice to offer Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on LeBron James. Surprise, surprise. Brown coached LeBron between 2005 and 2010, the latter of which was LeBron’s last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Like Spo inevitably will, Brown had to endure 82 games worth of speculative banter about where LeBron was [...]
