    The caveat I'll give him is it was a bit hard to figure out if he was talking about PACE ... or just ball movement and fluidity.

    It felt like he was talking about PACE. Which is dumb.

    You can obviously be very efficient and effective offensively without pace. But even then, ball movement and fluidity in the half-court is pretty important.

    Terrific. Again, Les is pulling meaningless stats out of his ass. Nearly half the active coaches in the NBA are either rookies or have only been head coaches for a few seasons. So obviously there aren't gonna be too many active ones who have won 60+ games 2 or more times in their careers.

    Man. The only thing that can get me excited is saying F it and just rolling out there with Harden at the point and Troy Daniels and Jared Dudley at the 2 and 3. Ryno at the 4 and Capela at 5. Just bombard teams with 3s. Tell Daniels to shoot at minimum 10 3's per game and i guarantee you he will make around 45% Dudley minimum 8 per game. Ryno minimum 8 per game. Harden already shoots 8 per game too.

    RAIN 3's. That's all this garbage league is anymore anyway.

    If you own a team, you are by default a leader:confused:


    Why would we expect the person in charge to not be a follower:confused:

    Really baffling concept here:confused:

    Damn, Les looks really old. It's like he lost 5 years in one.

    Looks like Le$ has had enough of Mauri's shenanigans. 10 years of wheeling and dealing, multiple busts from the draft, multiple bad coaches hired, multiple bad contracts dished out, several stupid statements.....

    Old man wants to slowly take control and right the ship. Problem is he doesn't know much basketball either

    Houston - We may be doomed.

    Are you the same poster with all the "JJ Fatt, JJ Fatt" hatred?

    Goodness gracious.

    He'll either quit or get fired within a year. This is gonna get ugly.

    Yep and maybe for the best. MDA has the keys now and Morey has to listen to him or Les will fire him.

    I felt like Les should have just sat there with his middle finger in the air the whole time. He looks like he hates everyone right now...

    Except for D'Antoni, of course.

    I thought you were pushing the whole "Morey made this decision"?

    Well at least he's aware of the fanbase's disapproval of the D'Antoni hire. I guess I can take comfort in the fact that he's not surrounded by yes men and living in a bubble.
