Try to employ a bit of seriousness here. I am not understanding your points here. I find it funny the two worst coaches in the NBA are matching up in a conference final.
Things happen with human beings. These are not robots playing. They will at times miss. LeBron missed a wide open layup in the 3rd quarter. So the logic behind that missed layup is because Brown made poor adjustments at halftime?? Billups made a contested jumper to open the 3rd quarter with someone right in his face. So the reason he made that shot was because Brown didn't coach properly at halftime??
So the reason LeBron made 2 foul shots at the end of the game is because Brown made proper adjustments in the 4th quarter???
So your basic argument is that Brown is a tremendous "in-game" coach, because they always play better in the 4th quarter this series than the
3rd. Or something like that.

In order to assess coaches you have to watch them a while. I have seen the Cavs do not have any sort of theme to their offense. Its very disorganized. They space poorly. Rely totally on athletic talent. Detroit is just getting older physically. Although Saunders has much more depth than Brown had. Popovich has a great player to run things off of, and he sticks to what his players do best. If they did not win utilizing their players to the fullest, he would be called bad. Sloan has always got competitive teams. I just wonder if he "Bill Parcells" them a bit too much. Hell Van Gundy is a very good coach imo. He just lost a tough series.
