Then nobody here would be questioning the mixed signals that are coming from the orgainization. The terms would have been laid out, and Amir would clearly not be holding up his end of the bargain.


Awesome

Tay actually commented on the pick -n- roll defense. Said something like they were playing it wrong, or the coaching staff waiting to long to change it and let Turkeyglue kill us.

I love these backhanded comments against the coach coming from all our players lately.

Overall, we actually had more FG's than Orlando. Just got beat on the FT line.

They actually did better percentage wise last night 23/30 (77%) than they did the prior 2 game/osses where against the Bulls they missed 10 FT's shooting 19/29, and then again vs the Kings on Friday where they were 19/30.

If you are getting 30 FTA you probably should win those games, but of course the right folks have to get to the line and shoot.

Matt Goukas made similar comments last night indicating that the turkmiester was killing us on the pick and roll and Dice was hanging Tay out to dry trying to defend Howard and stop the Turkyglue penetration.

Gouky knew all our all faults and development issues...he must be a member or frequent visitor to this forum. If Flip reads it, he totally ignores our suggestions

To be fair, some of them are anatomically impossible.

Unless you're the snake lady.

Like the suggestions that require balls to implement?

That could be one example.

I've noticed that too. First Rip, then Chauncey, now Tay. I know Sheed had to have said something in private as well.

Re: At Orlando Jan. 21st, 7:00 PM

So, are we saying that the players don't think this coach is good enough and they are starting to tune him out?
