You can only be honest, based on your own experience with the guy. What do you want him to say if he never experienced any of these things and was friends with him?specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 2:23 pmI hope he did. The way he backed good ol Bobby was disgusting.

If he never experienced that side of Sarver, along with other people in the organization didn't see that side, should they be expected to pile on? It just doesn't seem realistic. I believe the people that said he's a POS, but that doesn't mean I have personal experience that he did that. I haven't heard any bad word about Larry, so I should be upset about him? Come on.
Are you saying that Larry is not against what was reported? I don't think there is anything about Larry to say that he is for that reported behavior. So it's not fair to try to tie him to it, just because they were friends.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 2:46 pmYou could come out against it if true and still say that wasn’t your own personal experienceIn2ition wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 2:34 pmYou can only be honest, based on your own experience with the guy.

The report came out and was basically a slam dunk and he signed a statement calling the accusers liars.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 4:41 pmAre you saying that Larry is not against what was reported?

I feel like it’s Monty’s fault this team consistently gets down by 15-20 in the first quarter and plays with absolutely no fire. He needs to do something to fire them up.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 6:12 pmThere's certainly a lot of stuff in limbo right now. We can speculate about how much flexibility Jones has with making trades right now, but if I were in Ishbia's position, I wouldn't want Jones dealing any core players or future assets right now. Of course there are exceptions, but something like attaching a first round pick to Jae Crowder for a rotation starter would give me pause.
A foreseeable outcome could be Ishbia wanting to get "his people" in the player personnel department, which would indicate Jones is on borrowed time. Jones' promotion to POBO is a pretty clear safety net for any potential dismissal in the near future, but I don't want to believe that'll happen sooner than later. I'd actually be concerned if Ishbia cleaned house so quickly, but there's a lot of Sarver PTSD built up. It wouldn't be fair to judge him so quickly after dropping $2B and (hopefully) saving the franchise from embarrassment.
Back to my first comment about stuff being in limbo, some comments critiquing Monty are outright insane to me. This is literally the first stretch of regular season adversity this team has had under him (maybe in '19-'20, but there were zero expectations), and it's not a coincidence it's come when the best player in franchise history isn't even healthy enough to travel with the team. I dislike watching this team get crushed in first quarters as much as the next fan, but lets not ignore the fact that it's only disappointing because of the heights this franchise has reached in large part due to Monty's leadership. This team was rolling 6 weeks ago despite not playing with a real starting PF or PG, but now it's his fault that the 10th men on the roster aren't good enough to compete with opposing starting lineups every night.
Outplay? How about being competitive?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 8:32 pmThere’s always room for improvement, but expecting Chris Paul and Torrey Craig to outplay Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle is delusional. I don’t believe there’s a scheme to overcome that skill gap.
These guys are just going through the motions right now. Play some damn defense at the very least!INFORMER wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 12:06 pmOutplay?
