Joe Dumar's Presser...The COntents and Verbatim Remarks

I guess I realize this, but then I think,"Why do I even bother to listen to these interviews?" For instance when Stoney and Wojo mentioned Steven A Smith's Curry report, Dumars totally laughed it off. I guess that I just don't think Joe is as polished at communications as we sometimes make him out to be. he loses credibility when he could have used more diplomatic responses without overplaying his hand.

Why? You got anything else better to talk about from here until next November?

Wha? Summer league baby!!!!

Thats like ages from now. Sure hope several games are televised.

Dumars had to put some desperation into his confession, because no one will deal with him. He's too good. Watching Ainge take it over the fence, must've bit him right in the rump. I 'm glad he's at least talking hardball. He gives up more talent than he can afford. Can YKH rebound yet? I think he just wanted to move the coach.

But has Joe set himself up to lose the respect of the players if he talks tough and doesn't end up making a move? He's painted himself into a corner, but behind him is an unlocked door.

Only Sheed risked going somewhere. I think they all like it here.
