Kept Hearing The "C word" Today..

[Wade Garrett]

Sure, they talked a lot about a faster tempo, all teams do. But maybe that will be different this time.
They also talked about something never talked about.... Championship. .
This team knows if everything works, it's a possibility.
Player after player mentioned the "C word".
Especially journeyman Anthony Tolliver, who's been around.
You can't win it if ya don't talk about it.
They talked about it.

I work with a guy from Scotland who uses the "c" word. Basically just means jerk or asshole, there

I never use the “c” word. My girlfriend would kill me.

Back on topic, i noticed the same thing. The first step to becoming an actual contender is to not be scared of openly saying that it's the goal.

“Usually, when I address the team, it’s like, ‘Let’s have a good year, work hard, this is how we do stuff’ … you know, new year, let’s get going,” Lillard said. “But this year, it was along the same lines as Coach.”

In other words, the niceties were left with the valet.

“Look, this ain’t for play,” Lillard recalled telling his players. “I’m not interested in the cute shit no more. Like, we are going to have a good environment, and we’re going to have a good time and we’re going to enjoy each other, but we ain’t having no bullshit.

“If somebody’s feelings get hurt along the way, or somebody isn’t getting the playing time they want along the way, or if you aren’t getting shots, we are not here for that. It’s not about that. Everybody has a role, and the better you can be in your role, and the more accepting you can be of what your role is regardless of what Terry decides, the better off our team is going to be. And everybody needs to be on board. Right now.”

It was the team captain laying down the law, and his deputy, McCollum backed him up. In McCollum’s address, he said he wanted to make sure everyone knew Olshey, Stotts, and Lillard weren’t just talking championship to say it. They believed it and so should everyone else.

Someone has posted the article here:

Didn’t Ms. Allen say that was the goal openly? The owner is tits deep in a championship run.
