3) Bobby- stating several times. I have coaches who believe in me.
When he said he was bringing it every day to prove wrong all the haters who wanted him traded, I was wondering if he was reading stuff from this group, or where he got that from. But I'm glad he is doing so well and proving them wrong. He is the heart of the team and a great fit with Pat Bev.RW23 wrote:BigO wrote:

Came here to call this out.
Important to remember when we're killing guys like Bobby and Pat pre-deadline -- so much of this game is psychological, so long as your athleticism hasn't completely fallen off. Like, Bobby never completely lost the ability to shoot or be aggressive -- he just temporarily did, in a terrible situation.

Also this was my first game at Fiserv, incredibly, as I rarely make it back to MKE. Much more comfortable, aesthetic experience than the Staples/Crypto arena where I normally see games in LA. The smaller size / intimacy was so nice, and nice to see a day game with some daylight streaming in. Was hugely impressed with the space, sightlines and layout etc. As I've seen noted elsewhere, it was eerily quiet at times though which to me that feels as much a function of the design and soundproofing as a lack of enthusiasm in the crowd. Also at Crypto Arena the music is constant and annoyingly loud. Felt I was more locked into the game experience at Fiserv throughout, and I credit the quiet in part for that. Can't wait to return.

LMAO if you were creating a team and picked Westbrrok over Dame. Just screams doesnt know ball. Ya Westbrook was great but good god efficiency is a thing people. Terrible take

Ask George Karl what he thinks about Melo... dude lost everywhere for more a couple reasons.. Dame gets 1 ring with Giannis and with his career numbers, he's top 30

George Karl was a piece of **** who burnt bridges with every single one of his players from Payton, to Allen, to Melo, to Cousins, to KMart, Rondo, JR Smith and everyone in between. Everything was all about George Karl with him, all the way up until his teams failed, then he pointed finger's everywhere but himself.

Got stuck with a lot of personalities and that's how it was (is still).. when he had teams that bought in, played D and played unselfishly -- he took them far.. he understood that the real leaders of the team were the best highest paid players on the team and that the pygmalion effect didn't start with him, it started with them. Guys like Skiles could get great results temporarily but would get run out of town because of being to tough and demanding while Karl would too but then would try to use the media to call laziness/selfishness out and suffered the same fate. That doesn't make him bad; he was using what he thought was his only leverage to create change in lazy, selfish players. It was a rough era.. you had to get lucky drafting, tank for picks and only a couple teams stayed good and competitive the whole time (Spurs
culture /Lakers big market and luck). If the players had more power than the coach then they would run sh$t and you'd be fighting for the 7th/8th seed every year and a 1st round exit every year as the star players make 10x the coach's salary.

He can be a good coach and an absolutely dog **** person who had no idea how to work with basically anyone. Gary Payton has said he wanted to kick his ass and credits Karl's assistants for basically all his work with him, Ray Allen has said from day one George Karl never liked him and never gave him a reason why which led to his innevitable exit, Karl loves to boast about his success in Denver post Melo like his 57 win 2nd place team that literally didn't even get out of the first round and once again placed all blame on everyone but himself and called the ordeal of him being let go "stupid".
Dude is a grade A turd. Absolute loser. Maybe the guys he was with weren't the easiest to work with but he was a big reason why. Dude's a 72 year old man been through hell and back health wise and his favorite thing to do is sit on twitter and throw shade at his old players. Loser.
