instead of the 'head cold' excuse from blakely, mccoskey actually got the scoop and a quote from flip, saying he made a mistake and should've played amir, rode max too long, and that sheed could've closed out better on okur.

What? This is weird.

So the official explanation after all of this is that Flip screwed up?

What a surprising conclusion. Was the head cold thing made up, or just exaddurated? Why is McCoskey so angry at us?

McLOSER has to go down as one of the worst journalist ever.... waits for 2 days of people asking to put out his version of what happened hell i will believe NOTHING that the mans says unless he's got a interview tape of the person saying it.... he can't do his job and gets mad at fans talking about the team? and wondering whats up.... LOSER. I guess we should just turn the tv watch the game and when the game is over do nothing till the next game but read his "great" writing?

Chris McCosky = Flip Saunders' publicist.

...Pathetic!!!

OK, so he was taking advantage of one of our worst defensive players and so he would have really taken advantage of our best defensive player? Solid rationale there.

well at least he said SOMETHING and got real info out of flip, compared to ZERO information from anyone else

a real reporter would have asked the dang question in the post game interviews for all the world to see on the news later.... the way it was laid out in his "big breaking story" flip said it without the question coming up....

I think my 5 year old niece who doesn't know the first thing about basketball (i know have to work on that) could do a better job at digging for stories then this loser.

yah but there were plenty of other reporters that could've asked about it as well

Nooo! Say its not true Warthog! haha

Warthog = McCoskys publicist
McCosky = Flips publicist

Hence:
Warthog = Flips publicist (2IC)

I wonder why newspapers are dying? They treat the reported like gold and the readers like dirt.

Flip couldn't play AJ because Maxey was playing well. This is why I love Flip, he lives in such a simple world. He couldn't sub him for Sheed or Dyess and leave Maxey out there? After all these years of coaching he can't tell when a player is tired yet?

What would happen if, God forbid, they put AJ in and they got some easy scores? That never occurred to him once in the second half while they were rolling up 17 point quarters? Apparently not, he was too blinded by Maxey's 11 point 2 FG masterpiece.

I estimate that at least 65-75% of the time Flip speaks that he absolutely floors me. He's like a slower Mr. Magoo.
