Stupid and Unnecessary things Byron says.....

Are you seriously defending that idiot? Who gives a f*** if he's right or not? He always has to criticize the young guys. Never anything good to say. When you're a coach you're supposed to instill confidence in your players especially the younger ones. How many times has he put them on blast this year? I've lost count.

 

@abeer3 but he is the coach, instead of chirping about what he doesn't have, he should be worried about making the parts he does have work. I'd halfway agree with him if he was just an outside person making general comments on the team, but as the coach of a team that is young, struggling and already has had their confidence driven into the ground multiple times, you just can't talk about how they aren't good enough. These are kids not vets, they don't need to be hearing that crap on the brink of the worst season of their entire basketball careers. I just don't agree that those comments were necessary.

@Weezy I saw it firsthand in Cleveland. I'm not surprised by any of this, just 100x more pissed off that it's the team I root for going down in flames. Either you hit on a young coach that can come in and establish himself or you play it safe and go for a veteran coach that has proven success (In wins added with team vs without + philosophy and reputation) or your choice is going to be disappointment.

 

Speaking of ..... Go take a shower you chump!! WTF?

 

imagine what dantoni would do with randle. push for a trade for channing frye? I can't even think about how bad and costly the lakers' last three coaching hires have been. I really think dantoni cost the team gasol (via final alienation) and kobe (via Achilles tear). Byron cost them two years of foundation building. mike brown cost them professional credibility in several ways.

they absolutely must nail the next one.

 

^ they will. One more with b0ron and Mike Dunlevy next

 

Ehhh. I just can't put this on the young guys. They need to improve in areas but this is just their first few seasons in the league. They are supposed to need improvement. They also need guidance and real leadership. They have received little to none of that.

And I harped on Byron singling them out while giving the vets a pass for weeks at the beginning of the year. It was just a bad strategy and I honestly think the average shift manager at Burger King would have realized that. But not Byron. Nope. He has kept at it all year. Bizarre benchings, rotations, minutes played, quotes to the media, etc. just one big train wreck.

And now he has completely lost the team. Worse, the young guys are picking up bad habits as I feared they would. There is no rhyme or reason to how they are used or how much they play so they have said f' it all. I don't like it but I get it.

A lot of the lil' BS we see with this team would end pretty quickly with a strong leader at the helm. We don't have that on any level. Kobe has one foot out the door. The front office is the worst it's ever been. Byron is the worst coach in the league. We have goose eggs in pretty much every category except young talent.

I could rant about this all morning but I'll just be saying the same stuff. We all know the real problems here. It's bad. Real bad. And it won't start to improve until the front office situation is addressed and Byron is fired.

 

At this point, I'm all for cleaning house. The sooner the better.

 

There is no way that this topic
Should be a 12 page thread
He is truly just that stupid
You want to shoot his head

 

:Headbang:

 

I respect this. Needless to say, though, under a good coach guys like Isaiah freaking Thomas in Boston become All-Stars; Crowder becomes a quality NBA starter, etc. Now are those guys pieces to a championship squad. I'd argue they aren't, but what Stevens did is enhance the heck out of their value, so that if an offer comes knocking on the door for an All-Star those guys become trade pieces. That's what should have happened this year.
