but the timing of firing him when the Thunder were weakened by injuries still rubs me the wrong way. I suppose it's possible exit interviews with the team led to him getting canned, I dunno.

I didn't go to any shows this year, although my dog did run up on Andy Kindler and spook him a little on a walk this weekend. That was the extent of my participation. If it was this weekend, too bad you missed a Timbers home game, too. You should see the city in full soccer swing, makes you believe the sport has a future in the states.

Went to 3 shows a night, which was awesome.

Lots of parties and drinking. I feel like trash after all that Sizzle Pie and Voodoo Donuts.

Best show I saw was the Grawlix @ the Bossanova. Great show. I love Portland, and I think Bridgetown is my favorite festival. Plus, spent a lot of time at Ground Kontrol playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I still got it. Also I still know the Tyson code.

If the Cavs lose early, I can see Blatt getting fired and Lue getting elevated, unless Gilbert decides to go after a huge name.

But there's no reason Lue wouldn't/shouldn't be a candidate for one of these other openings.

But the question I always ask myself with a borderline firing is simple, was this guy going to be their coach when the team *really* started winning? I think the answer was probably no with Williams. He'll coach again.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Not saying he necessarily wanted him gone persay, but with the team wanting to lock Davis down as a long timer franchise player, had to think the front office would can Monty Williams without AD's approval, right? Right?

On some, "Look, we're looking into going a different direction with the team's coach. You're cool with that, right? You won't bail as soon as you can, right?"

I mean what kind of deep convo was had with Steph prior to the MJ firing? The players didnt love it but if you keep them informed and in the loop theyre generally gonna be ok with it. They know its a business--just like any of them could get traded.

"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

First, Curry wasn't considered one of the top 5 players in the league when they fired Mark Jackson. Now, with him as the MVP, one of the most popular players in the league, the eventual recipient of $25 to $30 million a year contract, and possibly a championship winner, they are going to run any and all major personnel changes past him. Certainly the coaching ones.

Second, didn't have to be a deep one at the time. Could have been, "Hey, we're not seeing eye to eye with Jackson, and we're plainning on making a change." Even then, I imagine if Steph had REALLY and vocally objected, they would have had at least some second thoughts.

which current teams are you referring to?

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I was fine with him sticking around for one more year, but really what's the difference. He still hasn't shown he's more than an average coach, and when you have a 22 year old top 5 player on your roster, average just aint cutting it.

This move is as much about 3 years from now as it is about today. We need a new voice in the locker room and a new direction on the court that is more in step with management. AD is about to sign his extension, so let's not let Monty get any more entrenched when a move seems inevitable.


I wish Monty this best, and I think he is a terrific assistant coach. But as the head guy he had 5 seasons to prove something, and he came up short. No shame in that, and he certainly has time to improve. Hopefully he gets another shot at the big chair somewhere down the road.

(C)Keith Murray, "

Not just this one. I've watched almost every single professional game Monty Williams has coached, so I'm not really here to get into an argument over his abilities. He's average (very good in some areas, quite poor in others), and I believe he can be better than that with some more seasoning as an assistant (he should go back to Pop). Its simply time for us to try someone, and something, else.

Look...I actually agree with your overall agenda here, but in this case it was time to move on. If you don't believe in a guy, why keep him around?

That's thing

This was clearly leading towards the exact same situation the Thunder have had the past few years: People constantly lamenting about how terrible the coach is, but no one had the balls to fire him early on because he kept making forward progress - even though he was never championship calibre. The fact that the Pelicans had the foresight to not be content with babysteps is actually amazing.

He was given the goods

He has TWO league MVP candidates and one of the

Hell, Reggie JACKSON is better than EITHER of the

What was Monty given?

Monty got ONE season of a mostly healthy Davis
only beginning to scratch the surface of his talent


NOBODY can even point out WHAT TEAMS HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO FINISH AHEAD OF THAT HE DIDN'T

He OVERACHIEVED if anything

in this thread....And I don't get it....

Monty took a team that WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN MADE THE PLAYOFFS IF DURANT WAS HEALTHY to the playoffs....And they took an L against the highest winning team in the league....

We can nitpick all day about whether dude made good decisions in the big minutes...But this has the smell of a franchise feeling itself waaaaaaay too much....lol

Their offense lacks imagination. Monty is still not good with late game management.

He has not improved and the team hasn't made a leap.

As far as their roster goes, on paper they're a lot better than or as good as a few teams that made the playoffs:
Dallas
Houston
Memphis

Monty did have to deal with a lot of injuries, but the team just doesn't play like a well coached team. Just getting by on talent alone.

man their roster is nowhere near as good as any of those teams...... damn year all three of their 2nd string would beat NO starting 5....

Let's look at the teams on paper at the beginning of the year:

Anthony Davis -22
Tyreke Evans -25
J'Rue Holiday -24
Eric Gordon -26
Omer Asik - 28
Ryan Anderson -27


Dirk Nowitzki - 36
Monta Ellis -29
Jameer Nelson -33
Chandler Parsons -26
Tyson Chandler -32
Devin Harris -32

Zach Randolph -33
Marc Gasol -30
Mike Conley -27
Tony Allen -33
Courtney Lee -29
Tayshaun Prince -35

James Harden -25
Dwight Howard -29
Terrence Jones -23
Trevor Ariza -29
Patrick Beverly - -26
Donatas Montejeunas - -24

So now, at the beginning of the year The Pelicans shouldn't think they're as good as those teams?

Come the fuck on.

Me and Kajun been expecting these dudes to be good for 2 years now based on that talent. And they're middling.

<---https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DL9AVTQ

None of these clowns watches the squad. We had plenty of talent this year. In no way did we "overachieve." 45 wins was really my bottom line at the start of the year.

We went 16-14 against the LEast...so yes 50 wins and better than Dallas SHOULD have happened. I felt that way all year, injuries and all.


Whatever, ding dong the def jam's gone. Let's hope Dell and Co. do the right thing here.

and pretending they're garbage...

better...

because honestly after AD you have a bunch of guys who have talent, but haven't consistently shown they can ball out in the regular AND post season...


I see a bunch of dudes on NO....that have been on other teams besides NO...who never sniffed the playoffs until this season.....

Now we supposed to buy the idea that they were SUPPOSED to make the playoffs and acutally under-achieved??

come on man...

>Their offense lacks imagination. Monty is still not good with

>
>He has not improved and the team hasn't made a leap.
What leap are they supposed to make? Every time someone gets healthy another guy goes on the injured list.

I agree that his X's and O's do need more work. But to say he hasn't steadily improved the team since the last time they were decent (also under his watch, with CP3) isn't accurate.


>As far as their roster goes, on paper they're a lot better
>than or as good as a few teams that made the playoffs:
>Dallas
>Houston
>Memphis
I'm not the biggest Monty Williams guy, but come on...there's no way in HELL they're better than ANY of those 3 teams.

>Monty did have to deal with a lot of injuries, but the team
>just doesn't play like a well coached team. Just getting by on
>talent alone.
Man, that entire roster was a MASH unit. AD missed time, Gordon, Holliday AND Anderson missed a rack of time, and the NBA BOUGHT THE TEAM during his tenure.

He made the playoffs his first year, then that ridiculous trade happened, then the NBA bought the team and gutted the roster. He finally builds the team back up to playoff contention and gets axed? Come on

And I'm not even a big Monty guy like that, but this is pretty messed up.
