Lol k.
 
Doesn't really feel like he's doing anything different form last year, but I guess this is more about not being able to motivate his team.

I hate when teams do this after so few games.

TIME TO CELEBRATE!

here's to hoping they name Bickerstaff the interim

 

[Pugz]

the players had a players only meeting so maybe they wanted him gone and told the office.

 

[Mexi]

Ty Lawson admitted that they weren't running plays or defenses that the coaches called
Had to go

I like JB, wonder if theyll listen or not. Hes been there a long time too

Hello Thibs?

 

[Pugz]

Except Dwight Howard had nothing to do with either Mike Brown or Kevin McHale's firings....This is just some writer trying to start a nonsense controversy by making shit up.

He didn't say Dwight got him fired, was simply pointing out the statistic dude

You can say that, but it was posted to start a firestorm.
 
I don't know who Tim Reynolds is, but he's doing nothing but trying to further his own name by taking the time to point out something irrelevant. 

 

[Pugz]

whatever you say.

 

[Pugz]

but to be fair, the team held a players only meeting and now hes fired.

 

[BwareDWare94]

That players only meeting will be completely useless unless every other player on the active roster shoved a finger into James Harden's chest and told him to start playing defense.

 

[elcheato]

Harden should get up in their faces and tell them to get as good as him offensively

 

[Mexi]

I never realized shooting guards make or break team defenses

 

[elcheato]

The Cavs have a top 10 defense with Mo Williams starting

The backcourt is everything because they don't have to be great--they just can't suck. If your backcourt offers some resistance, your big can redirect a driver. If your backcourt puts forth no effort, it leaves the big on an island being attacked from too many angles to cover them all.

James Harden is the issue with this team, and it's all effort related.

 

[Pugz]

or he just sucks on defense
