Sleeping Bears

Adrian Wojnarowski is a coward.

He is a coward whose career is based on one book, that, if we're going to be honest, isn't that good or exciting and will never make the pantheon of Great Sports Books.

Most readers of Yahoo! Sports NBA take issue with Kelly Dwyer for his perceived slights against Kobe/LeBron and ending sentences with prepositions - but that is simply because they can do so. No one actually knows how many folks can't stand the histrionic nature of Adrian Wojnarowski for sure since no one may comment on his opinion pieces. Most other pieces regarding the NBA allow comments. Not the Woj, though. Like a subject of one of his many witch hunts, he is a victim of his own ego: no one may disagree with his unsourced assertions. He is the David Stern of Yahoo! NBA.

He reviles LeBron James as a regular trope. He announces the end of teams prematurely, in this case, the Spurs, a year before they EASILY made the Western Conference Finals. Not only that, he calls the coach who beat the current best NBA coach (Gregg Popovich) "pedestrian." As he puts it for Yahoo!, "Scott Brooks is a pedestrian coach whose own organization isn’t sure how long of a contract extension, nor how rich, it wants to reward him at season’s end."

Let's take a brief look at the record Scott Brooks has compiled as a head coach in the NBA:
Team Year G W L W–L%
OKC 2008–09 69 22 47 .319
OKC 2009–10 82 50 32 .610
OKC 2010–11 82 55 27 .671
OKC 2011–12 66 47 19 .712
Career 299 174 125 .582


Hey, Adrian Wojnarowski, if this record is pedestrian, I'd hate to see how we'd describe your book sales.

Kevin Durant is all in, before the cards are even dealt

Some may call it noble, others naive, but it is what it is: Kevin Durant commits to OKC Thunder, with or without a contract this summer.
