Flip Saunders Quote Translator

Translation: "Notice how I said 'YOU'RE' going to play them. I NEVER said 'I' am going to play them. I'm pretty clever huh!? - See, you guys can't call me a liar now! ...I said 'your'! ...so, ...so there!"

"He's a defensive player that has the ability to anchor a defense," Saunders said of Ratliff

Translation: "This guy wouldn't see the floor if he took my family hostage!"

Holy pronouns.

Why would the reporter be the one who plays them? That's my job if I were him.

yah just about every one of those pronouns could mean something else

Which is why I think Flip is a master of waffling...maybe he should change his name to IHOP

Did you hear about the one legged waitress that worked at IHOP ?

I can't even remember to play Amir let alone trying to change tactics in the middle of a game.

He's basically saying, "You idots can't do what I tell you to do. What's the point in coaching?"

Just a few Flipisms coming at ya.

Translation:
"I'm the type of guy that doesn't really like to change the oil in my car. Heck, if that sucker starts making noise or smoke starts blasting out from under the hood, I just FLOOR-IT and hope it gets better.
...In case you haven't noticed. I'm an azz-hole."

Priceless

and at the same time alarming

Did Doc Rivers really say you can keep time by the predictability of the Pistons?
Change it up!

I don't know what I'm doing

just a bit offtopic here...... but change your sig.... carr is old news.... maybe...... Flip now?

Where was that quote from? Why is Flip talking about defense? Is he sick?

Sorry lp, I can't remember the exact article that wonderful gem came from but I assure you that it was straight from the horse's (read: jackass') mouth.
:deadhorse

Translation: "Look, ...I'm not one of those coaches who likes to get into all that 'lineup' crap. If you all wanna talk about it each night I'll do my best; ...but I really don't know what the heck I'm doing. ...Man, I shoulda' took that job with the Gophers when I had the chance. Now THAT'S a team that I could have some regular season success and an early exit in the big dance and not really catch too much heat."

Self explanatory.

This one is fresh off the todays presses:

"Sometimes it's tough to get into a total rhythm," Saunders said. "But we've got to find out some things and know we're going to have our solid nine, 9 1/2 guys when the playoffs start."

He's a coach so ahead of his time, that he will find a way to make use of 1/2 a player. There's no telling where his genius will take us. It's probably possible to use 1/4 Afflalo with 1/8 Hunter and 1/8 Dixon thrown in for good measure.
