Curry interview; pretty good read

I love hearing this:

Quote:

At the end of the season, if you don't win a championship, you can walk away from the year feeling either disappointment or frustration. When you are disappointed, it's just because you weren't good enough. You got beat by a better team and, OK, that happens. Frustration is different. That means that, at times, you were the best team in the league. And then, at other times, you were a no-show. That's where we are. There is frustration within the organization, frustration coming from fans, even frustration with the media. I don't know how many times I heard you guys in the media say you don't know which Detroit Pistons team is going to show up. You're right. How do we lose to Dallas by 20, then, the next night, go into San Antonio, second night of a back-to-back, and win? That shouldn't happen.

So far I really really like what I'm hearing from Curry. Can he change it? that's the question.

Chuck Daly on Bill Laimbeer

Quote:

Former Pistons coach Chuck Daly was interviewed by Sacramento Bee writer Ailene Voison. Daly said that while the league may not have liked the image of the Bad Boys, fans across the country still remember it fondly.

"I go through airports today, and people come up to me all the time. They don't know my name - they never know my name - but they know I coached the Bad Boys. I get a kick out of it," Daly said in Voisin's blog.

Daly also said that the Bad Boys image has kept Shock coach Bill Laimbeer out of the NBA coaching ranks.

"I think it must be because Billy made a lot of enemies when he was a player. But I tell you what. He is as smart as a whip. Someone is going to get darn lucky in this league," Daly said.
