lmao. Morey is the coach, statiscian, GM, and president all in one. Already brainwashing the fans with the mid-level exception crap. We are just one 3 and D player away.
I disagree. Morey is giving the best PR answers he can give without throwing Simmons under the bus, like what Doc did. Saying his team wasn't good enough to win, or that game 7 was Philly's worst performance in the postseason is all facts and a hard truth pill to swallow (for Philly fans), but none of what he said was throwing people under the bus.
Morey is used to make calculated decisions. But now he has to face immense immense pressure by the deranged Philly fanbase. Normally the wise thing to do is to wait recuperate value and then trade Simmons away . Will the fan pressure affect his decision making? Or perhaps he will get a mandate from ownership again?
Idiot Rockets fans still blaming Morey so they can avoid the pain that the owner is The one that fk’ed this situation and we will have to live with him.
for him to say I haven't looked at the numbers for game 7 is stepping on your coach's toes and GM. A better response is let Coach answer that or somewhere along those lines
Idk what u want from a gm. The team was a first seed in its conference, with the same players/coach that got them there. U morey haters gonna blame him for not coaching, and playing also? It's like a mechanic build a sweet ass ride for a race, but gets blame for the driver's incompetence for getting 8th.
I'm not sure what question was asked or how it was phrased, but I'd imagine the question was probably "what did you think of the performance by the 76ers in game 7?" There's not a lot of ways to spin that where your answer comes off as positive or neutral, so Morey did as Morey does, and went to the numbers.
10 years from now: "The championship is our ultimate goal, but let's not forget that only the Hawks have had a better regular season record than us over the last 10 years."
If they don't do that well in the regular season, he'll say, "Nobody wants to face us in the playoffs!"
if that fails then it's a coin flip and if that fails then petition to reduce playoff games, if that fails then it's Les never gave me the chance to tank
