He was trying to give credit to his staff with that statement. But I could see why some in here would look at that differently lol
Agree..it seems to me its not in Dames DNA or Stotts to express that kind of anger or reaction. I don't think its in Dames DNA to push the ball consistently either. He rather take a methodical over the time line dribble dribble slow it down look for a shot or seem.
That's the way it came across to me also. He was more saying his assistants were right on top of things with him.
Maybe. But the negative spin I'm seeing on this is one helluva reach. Nothing surprises me on here anymore though.
I wasnt really taking a stance, just saying that it seems like he couldve maybe been more clear as to what he was trying to say.
Yes;I think t was the kind of statement that could be taken differently by different people it was just that kind of statement.
Yes thnik it has been communicated by the coach and also think it is the coach who is not comfortable pushing his wishes,
They probably did this to appease Dame, as he’s a loyal dude and seemingly has nothing but love and support for Stotts. Consider me “unextended”.
Played at 24 after work. My team had been hot from deep but we got tired and let the opponent back within striking distance. All we needed was one point for a series closing win. I took the ball out, on the right was our two leading scorers, on the left our 4 on the wing and 5 on the block. Second the ball was checked I passed it left and we fed our big like I'd hoped - solid post move FTW. Olajuwon is one of my top three favorites players ever. Love post play, especially when opponents know its coming but there's no way to stop it. Personally love playing with guys who have stellar post games (like yourself big dog), personally hate when guards don't feed them, throw horrible entry passes, or don't dish to a big who's run the court, especially after a defensive play. You aren't going to out back-court the Warriors, try as D'Antoni might (no rockets presser yet?). You have to attack the basket and own the paint to own the Warriors. We got murdered on the boards, could not score inside, and couldn't stop them from doing so themselves. Looney was amazing, made all the right plays (two years ahead of Zach), and benefited from Green's school of foul free hacking. Meanwhile Collins couldn't jump straight up without being whistled. Kanter was Aamazing against the Blunder, both sides of the ball. But by the time he got to the WCF, thanks to his separated shoulder and fasting, was literally worthless. No beast = no chance.
Olshey probably did this because Stotts’ players love him, he maximizes talent, he develops players, his teams are fun to watch, he’s the western division coach of the month for the past three months, his teams keep winning, his teams always exceed expectations, and he just coached us to the WCF. Maybe that has something to do with it.
