Player exit interviews and statements - 10 am

Look at the stats in the playoffs for Aminu. He was one of the role players that had a very good series. The guy averaged over 17ppg and 9 rpg with 64% shooting from the field and 43% shooting from 3. You pass up all of those stats to focus on a .2 differential in assists and turnovers? He upped the good stats pretty much across the board compared to the regular season.

I like Aminu, but he was the one who said they needed more passing. I am just pointing out that he does not help in that category. His weakness was when he tried to put the ball on the floor. He should not try. If we had a 3rd ball handler on the court who could also score, Chief would/should rarely be in that situation, even if they left him wide open like N.O continually did.

Moving forward he needs to come off the bench at PF if we want to get better. Zach will need to improve and start.
A SF who can shoot, handle the ball, and pass is desperately needed.

Okay, SPD...give the guy a break. When he is talking about "sacrifice", he is refering to developing his game. Not a tough "get".

I wasn't giving him a bad time, I like CJ. But in terms of developing his game what are these sacrifices he's making? Does he want the ball more? To be given even more of a green light to score? We know he's not talking about defense so these sacrifices he's talking about applies to offense. Just seemed like an odd statement to make.

Come on,Dog, "sacrifices are doing the things that you have to do, rather than doing what you want. Really, not a hard "get" in the context of his statement.

Okay but what are the things that he wants to do on offense that isn't being allowed to do now?

Wants to post up more?

Dunk more?

Drive more?

Initiate the offense more?

Shoot more 3pt'ers?

Hmm, in watching the interview, I did not take it that the reference was intended toward what he was not being allowed to do in game. Face it, there is very little accountability of the top tier players on this team. I took it to mean that he make the normal "sacrifices" any athlete makes to get better, work on his game, eat right, stay in game shape etc etc etc.

See I thought he was talking about the sacrifices of what it takes to be an elite NBA player in terms of improving your game over the summer. The work that goes into being a good NBA player is a sacrifice. I think you're reading too much into that word.
 
Olshey: "This loss was so extreme I don't want to overreact."
 
Olshey: No one had any plane flights schedule so no one expected this to happen.
 
Those aren't sacrifices, those are earning your paycheck.

Yeah, well , you would think so, but how many ten year plus "pros" do not do so? I could probably name a hand full without giving much thought..just take felton for example, of Miller..guys often come into the season out of shape, and use the first half to get into playing shape..not uncommon, bro.

I like that.
