I think Woody has to go,
but I'm not gonna sit here and act like he's not getting shytted on.
@ the bolded.
Nah but seriously he has done a horrible coaching job, but I think some of it was due to pressure from management. JR shouldn't have been playing in the beginning of the year. Clearly he needed more rehab. I think Dolan didnt wanna look like an idiot for give JR a contract and then JR goes and get surgery before the ink is dry, so he made him get his ass on the court. And he made Woody play him. A lot. "Management" also made zero moves to give him anything to work with when guys were going in and out with injuries. Now as for Woody, he coached to start the year like he had the ultimate job security. Somebody fooled him into thinking he was untouchable. Because before that game where Melo walked the ball up the court with under 10 seconds left and hoisted some bs instead of calling timeout, Woody seemed to not be very active on the sidelines IMO. After that game I noticed him trying to use his timeouts more wisely at least. Vet loyalty to Felton did him in too. He was not safe enough to ride it out for his "guy". His guy fukked him. Maybe not intentionally but he did. Ray should been benched before the new year. I know he saw old ass Prigs and inexperienced Murry behind him, but oh well, get creative. The fact that Murry could not be scored on at will would have helped tremendously. How many games have we lost cuz Felt got lit the fukk up? And John Wall broke Prigi's toe cuz he had his old ass planting and cutting too hard trying to keep up. Melo & JR facilitated the offense most of the time anyway, so he shoulda had Murry in there as a stopper. Or an attempt at a stopper. Anything would have been better than watching Feltons man parade to the hoop every night or him fukking up rotations by switching EVERY fukkING TIME but not communicating that. Yeah he ISO's Melo down the stretch when a bucket is needed. But every superstar gets an ISO in that situation. It's just that the others stars understand you can possibly make a play for someone else out of that ISO. Woody didn't do a good job of communicating that to his star. Also this a team of mental midgets. Woody doesnt have a strong enough personality to lead such a group without respected vets also on the roster. That's a problem.
Quick sidebar, lol @ Stat saying the lack of vet leadership hurt the team. nikka YOU been in the league 11 years! Does this nikka think before he speaks?? He says some dumb shyt and plays defense like a moron. I think this cat is a well dressed doofus. He looks like a smart guy til he opens his mouth.
I think Melo will be back. If it's not about the money theres no reason to opt out. Not 1 current contender can sign him without gutting their roster contract wise. FOH Melo. You had me going there for a few months.
Tyson please
I can't wait for Stat to bang it on you in your new uniform. You are a soft overrated bytch. You've never been there when it counts. You have no big playoff moments. You won DPOY but made 2nd team all defense the same year. You're a phony. I think we coulda had Turiaf starting and saw no drop off. Please fukkin go. Little hat wearin ass nikka.
Shump. I don't like you dog, no secret there. Phil likes your defense. With coach with a plan and/or possibly in the triangle, I think you may be of some use yet tho. How bout workin on those handles and finishing this summer tho.
THjr? Get stronger. Work on handles. Improve defensive footwork. Your defense is Feltonesque. I don't want to start disliking you. Even tho he played for the enemy, your pops was 1 of my favorite players so you have some rope with me.
