By giririsss Go To PostBut is it shit talking? And who the hell expects that Lakers roster to BE winning? I know it's really easy to be dismissive of Scott, cause he's bit of an idiot. But i mean, if you take a player out and he sits on the bench pouting, you can't really put him back in. He's going to be a selfish asshole.He played the most selfish of assholes as a starter who couldn't produce for much of the season so eh.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostI think it's more people will be lenient on your shit talking about anything if you show results. Scott doesn't so whatever crap he's spewing is just that, crap.
I think I posted this the other day. Phil used to talk to his players through the media as well. He just had the cache to back it up. Phil also communicated in other ways too., like giving players books to read. From the reports it seems like Byron's communication to his rookies has largely come from the media. It's hot they learned about their benching as an example. He's been quoted saying he hadn't spoken to them directly about it. I also feel like Phil had the mental capacity to figure out players and what made them tick so he could motivate. I don't have that faith with Byron who seems to just employ "I'm a hard ass" techniques
even i can tell the playes are checked out, yet dumbfuck still thinks he's playing zen master with his players through the media.
btw 3SP post the whole comment next time:
But all concerned will take consistency as the Knicks finish up a stretch of games against 11 consecutive opponents with winning records.Sounds like he isn't sweating losses because the Knicks always lose 2-win 2-lose 4-win 3. They are streaky as Hell, which goes hand in hand with the inconsistency of their players' scoring/effort and rotation.
“We can’t keep winning one, losing one, winning one, losing two,” Carmelo Anthony said after practice in Tarrytown. “We can’t play that game. We’ve got to find a way to put some games together.”
By PSYCH! Go To PostChris Bosh has three 30 point games this season, Melo has 2.Both guys are #1 options on their team and one guy has one more? How is it crazy?
:O, that's crazy
By K@do Go To Posteven i can tell the playes are checked out, yet dumbfuck still thinks he's playing zen master with his players through the media.When you have young players on rookie contracts checking out despite having the incentive to play for a better contract... well 4th time's a charm, right?
Edit: I assume the hope would be to get Luke Walton, but how realistic is that?
I would imagine Luke would take a head coaching job if offered. I have no confidence Jim Buss will fire Scott and hire someone else though.

I mean, honestly, it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
By ratcliffja Go To PostWhen you have young players on rookie contracts checking out despite having the incentive to play for a better contract… well 4th time's a charm, right?Luke walton seems more like a personal coach, someone that will talk to his players on a personal level.

someone that can relate to the millenials.
considering the mike brown era, i dont think i've ever hated a coach this much before.

I watched the video. It's on NBA.com. He did not say that at all. Maybe in a later one.
By DY_nasty Go To Postyal are being dramaticOh please. All Larry wanted to do is get the Bobcats to play the right way. Not his fault Charlotte players were stubborn, if they bought in D.J. could've been an All-Star point guard and they could've had 2 titles by now.
he's not even larry brown bad

haha.
delusional.
By giririsss Go To PostWhilst Scott isn't exactly a great example of a role model coach, He's also probably not too wrong. I mean some of these players are really super young. Which is what allows them to hid behind the comment.but isn't being mature communicating? Like talking directly to your players, and explaining their roles instead of shitting on them in the media?
The whole, "he has to stop pouting when I take him out of a game" comment is true. Randle does have to stop that. But do your rotations / timing even make sense?
It just seems like a bad thing to be calling out rookies. Particularly from the coach. But I'm not sure who else would answer questions about player development stuff. A senior player? Could just alienate the rookie from said player. Putting it on the player himself? It's not always great to be throwing rookies in the deep end with the media.
It's probably best to just not comment and say something passive and throw away "we've discussed it and we're always in contact". Or something like that, i guess. But that then really leaves fans to come up with conspiracy shit about the issue.

Porzingis having an amazing all around game. Rebounds, steals, put back dunks, spin back fadeaways.
Dude...Enjoy watching your team.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI want to watch but every time I watch live it turns into a struggle game…..

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostPorzingis having an amazing all around game. Rebounds, steals, put back dunks, spin back fadeaways.I find it odd considering Porzingis is so aggressive on boards he goes through stretches where is is so passive on O. He's going to have alot of post mismatches, you have to at least get in there and make the opposition make a decision... single or double. Carmelo and Afflalo do it alot (Afflalo to much less success), he's gonna have to learn also.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI want to watch but every time I watch live it turns into a struggle game…..You'll know Knicks are fucked once Korver starts stunting on them. That's my turnoff point.

Just as Afflalo hit two back to back post fadeaways. But I agree with you about Porzingis.
Bron/KD/PG/Hayward/Harden/DeRozan/Melo are a combined 20-63 (31.7% FG) when guarded by Justise Winslow this year.
By The Frankman Go To PostLook it's masud's boy Tim Hardaway Jr.!Gonna score 30 tonight against his old team!

*sigh* and there Korver goes. I don't get how Knicks 3Pt percentage against is so low when they still make alot of the switching errors from last year.

1. Shorts or Pants that are really tight on men and squeeze their junk
2.people who support someone blindly regardless of facts
Oh no... the politically correct police.
I have no idea why teams front Williams on that pinch post catch. The pivot to the lob is the classic Triangle automatic to being fronted there.
Crazy athletic. Can't post up for shit. Just let the guy catch it at the free throw line, you can't stay with him if he goes back door.

I am banned for two weeks for saying OT is the place to go if you want to complain...... 2 weeks. and the anonymous fuck mod made a joke like OT is the place to go if you want to be banned. I can't fuck with GAF the stick is way.... WAY up its ass
Melo must low key HATE Williams. That dude gets a foul anytime he's within 5 feet of the rim. Meanwhile Melo gets mauled nightly and there are no calls.

That's ridiculous. Ain't even mad tho, I just thought it was amusing.
I don't even really care about the forum anymore, there's no sense of community and its full of people who are amazingly socially awkward. There's a thread in the OT about a guy getting laid for the first time after setting the mood with the Phantom Menace.
