Afflalo was a good guy and said in an interview he was happy to get out of Denver's locker room and away from that coaching system. He hurt his shoulder and tried to play through it when Wes went down...if Wes hadn't gotten injured, he probably would have been rehabbing the injury. I have no bad feeling about him and he would've been a good piece if they team hadn't crumbled in the end.
I've been saying it all summer Neil Knows what he is doing and I trust him to build a championship team. Whisitts problem was that he traded way to damned much...no roster under him got to stay in tact long enough to gel and win the trophy.
I feel like people want to blame someone for our collapse last year and they put it on afflalo because he didn't live up to their expectations. They ignore his injury. They ignore that he was asked to immediately fill a role that he was not intended to fill and they ignore that other guys were hurt and/or playing like shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/201...layoffs-los-angeles-clippers-neil-olshey-rise My first time reading this. Olshey's strength is player relationships and player development. Can really see that shine through. He's also got one of the most unconventional resumes for someone in the business, which speaks to his work ethic. Really hoping this guy will be here forever a la RC Buford/Donnie Nelson etc.
Neil seems real happy here...to go from Donald Sterling as a boss to Paul Allen is about as big a leap as you can make in the NBA
People (myself included) hate on the Clippers for their sniveling, pouting, and flopping, but not much can be said about their chemistry. I just thank God that Neil's building our team's chemistry around Lillard instead of some knucklehead...
