In my opinion, anyone who argues with riverman is wrong. Riverman is awesome fan, older guy, focuses on the positive, and loves the team. If you debate that, you're on the wrong side.

How does it taste though?

Yeh, like to Stotts: " Why did it take you until the fourth game to make adjustments to what NO was doing defensively?"

Not sure these reporters know enough to notice adjustments..
 
So, it looks like Turner was the only one who had the guts to say something about developing an identity outside Dame and CJ. Even then he seemed afraid of stepping on toes; only suggesting they practice something during the season (that would apparently involve sharing the ball more), just in case they needed it in the playoffs. Why couldn't someone suggest an offense that involved more players, more passing, more assists etc. and suggest how this might be the best way to develop the skills and confidence of the other players besides the big two? I can't believe no one ever even thinks about this.....

I do and it's the biggest reason why I want a new coach.

So if we bench Aminu and start Collins we win the championship next season?

I predicted we were about a 50-55 win team last offseason, before we traded Crabbe.

If Collins makes a jump next year I think 50-55 wins is possible. He already has such an unselfish game, if he could get consistent with his shot and continue to physically mature, he’s a game changer. His development is pretty much the key to this current group.

If Olshey can sign and/or use the TPE to bring in more offensive talent, I don’t see anything that would prohibit this team from making a jump. I’ve seen comments about Terry’s “philosophy” but he’s never discouraged unselfish basketball. When we had Aldridge we played through the post and shared the ball. With the current group, Terry is almost forced into letting Dame and CJ toss up whatever shot, because they’re the only ones that he can rely on. Everyone else is defensive minded with offensive deficiencies. That’s on Neil. Now Terry isn’t completely innocent (ie not trusting Nurk) but it’s not something I see as prohibitive, or something he couldn’t fix.

I’m not against another coach, probably even prefer it, but I’d much rather fire Olshey than Stotts.

Olshey made a team that you are predicting to win 50-55 games next year but you want to fire him?

Can you explain to me how that makes sense?

I’ve also said that we’ve overachieved relative to our talent. It’s more or a credit to Stotts than Olshey.

And for the record I’m only for firing Olshey because I believe someone has to take the fall. I’ve given him his shared due on this board.
 
Anyone else notice Jake Layman and Papa G didn’t have an exit interview with the media? Not that I was dying to hear what they had to say about the season but it seems weird they didn’t even speak with the media considering all of the other end of bench guys did.

Ed Davis with the "They don't pay me to GM".
Ha i like that...

Yeah, it seems they asked most the players what the team needs and they all pretty much passed as it seems this team does have a sense of unity. I can only imagine how many players a Westbrook or Cousins would throw under the bus if they were asked that question for their respective team.

I mean Biggie didn’t get one either. Don’t know what they’d ask them anyway.

But I doubt Layman will be here next year.

Ha Ha.... Russ would be blasting people. He has already thrown just about every player he has ever played with under the bus. Including Durant!
I kind of have to agree with CJ on that whole "Lost 10 straight Playoff games" thing. They have lost 6 of those to the Warriors. and everyone is forgetting they beat the Warriors also.
I am really looking forward to seeing how this Pels vs Warrior match up is going to go? Warriors are up 3-1 and the Spurs did get a game. I think the Pelicans are better than the Spurs. If that second round series turns into a long series that might take some of the sting out of the sweep.
Olshey says he doesn't want to make any quick decisions. Something tells me he wants to know exactly how good the Pels are?

Yeah, never good to jump to conclusions without getting as much info as you can. If this forum had any say so, we would have a different coach every week and player turnover would be faster than a revolving door in downtown New York.

I tell you what, we should have end of season exit interviews here. . He can't go a day without calling somebody or their posts "stupid" or "dumb" or something along those lines. Lighten up Francis. All this time I thought it was just The HCP he had issues with.

And on a side note, the only thing I'd change is that DarkWing shouldn't be making those lame game threads anymore. HE is the real reason we lost this series and you all are too STUPID and DUMB to acknowledge it! #RipCityFAMS

Not sure I can agree with all of it but I certainly like some of it.

I can't believe this Stotts quote hasn't garnered more attention.
Why the hell is he not going to evaluate the job he did?

To get better, you sit down and take a look at what you did well & poorly. You figure out what went wrong & fix it.

He's content... This attitude permeates across the team.
Dame 'brags' that he takes the highest number of difficult 3pnt shots in the league. It's not a good thing... Sit down and figure out how to get better & easier shots.

Because there's no culture of accountability in the team from the top down. You think Pop would answer the question like that? Nope.
