Is Fizdale coaching?

So much to be excited for in this summer league. Essentially our entire young core minus KP will be playing.

Really hope to see Frank's progression along with Dot

Also very excited to see how Knox and Robinson look. Then you have Trier too who would've almost certainly gotten drafted if it weren't for the PED bust and poor tourney play

I need a scrimmage video, something to over hype, asap.

Keith Smart will probably be coaching.

Is he smart?

camillepd · Post #86 » by **camillepd** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:30 pm

Well, he was a smart enough to talk his way into two or three head coaching jobs in the league over the years.

Better than the Nate Robinson dynasty?

I really liked those teams.

Never Forget

Toughness is subjective. Tim was never soft. He had that NY mentality of not taking people's ****. He never backed down from those pussy ass Nets teams.

Not sure where you got that misconceptions from.
Soft were guys like Adam Morrison, Chris Bosh, Kevin Love, MPJr., etc.

--Mags

Tim was known as being pretty soft and wildly inconsistent as well. I know other people here can speak for me on that.

I always love ya my man, but stand on your own sometimes and don't keep looking for justification from others in your POVs.

Also, inconsistent doesn't mean they're soft. And he was much better in that regard his second stint with us.

--Mags

I think what Mecca means is he didn't rebound or play in the post much, which is true. Dotson is a really good rebounder for his size.

I would agree that he didn't back down from matchups. He did play up or down to competition.

Ooooooh, THAT soft. :lol:

I thought you (Mecca) meant he was a pussy. :lol:

Yeah, TT never really embraced the paint. Dotson is active and plays all over the court. But TT would never back down from a fight, especially with his second stint with us.

When I'm speaking about basketball, the only soft I mean is in terms of style of play.

I'd be shocked to see Mudiay play unless Fitz is coaching too.

I would suggest it to him and if he didn’t want to play and dominate, it’d check off another box in my mind about him as a competitor.

So it's like that for Onion?

Tron Carter · Post #98 » by **Tron Carter** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 6:31 pm

mudiay needs to stay the f out. he’d be doing is taking trier’s backup point minutes.

Why the hell Burke playing tho? Guy's been in the league for 5 years now. Must have something to do with Fizdale pushing these guys.

Tron Carter · Post #100 » by **Tron Carter** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 6:38 pm

trey Burke is playing too? is that a joke?
