What is he supposed to say? the team isn't really very good? our coaching has been miserable and the chemistry isn't what it should be? we'll be lucky to win a game so don't bother coming out? get over yourselves. It's a business that he owns and as a representative of the organization it is inherent in his job to provide a positive view of the organization. the standards some of you place upon morey and les are ridiculous. "it's the owners fault a team with two all-stars coming off a WCF appearance underachieved" "morey is a front runner and only speaks when we win"
how about this? "Some guys obviously aren't playing hard enough. If they don't respond & play hard they're not going to stay here." http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=270324&referrerid=58397 And it would be nice if he meant it, as opposed to empty rhetoric and blowing smoke.
what was he supposed to do? He fired the coach. He gave the GM the leeway to move players and nothing of significance coalesced. Each player on the bench got an opportunity to play sans the rookies. As an owner, what was he supposed to do? As per that comment, it was in season after a disappointing start and firing the owner. It was meant to light a fire. Just as his current comments are meant to provide support to a team going into a playoff series.
hey, I get that, I really do. And I'm glad he's supporting his team. But in a week he's got to start making heads roll.
You mental guys crying about a word. When les mentions it will it help us win against the warriors? Even the spurs with their best defense cant beat them. We have a chance because we have a playmaking superstar who can avg 25 to 30 pts a game and erupt with 40pts all by him self
He says shooting, turnovers and our roster are our 3 biggest problems. If you cannot see how problematic it is if he truly believes it, then there's nothing left to say.
we have a chance as in the "nonzero probability" sense. Other than that I don't really think we have a chance because we have a big-time scorer. How did you put it? "We have a chance because we have a playmaking superstar who can avg 25 to 30 pts a game and erupt with 40pts all by him self." James Harden cannot beat the GSW all by himself.
If we were making shots and brewer dmo jsmith were all contributing the same like last year even if we have sub par defense then we could have done as good as last year. Problem is not defense because we werent that good last year anyway and we were still 2nd seed and reached wcf
Lol is english your 2nd language? I said he can score upto 40pts by himself not beat gsw by himself Thats why its important for the other players to contribute offensively and defensively because we both agree 1 super star no matter how great he is cant do it by himself
Well if we want to really start parsing his words: he does not mention "roster." Actually he only mentions two things that hurt, but he says there are three. "I don't think we were as good as people thought" does not sound like "roster" to me. I don't think speech can be taken as seriously as written statements.
