Man Alex English probably tunes this guy out.

unless any of us have an inside source in the locker room, why are we taking what Triano says through the media seriously anyway? For all we know, he probably doesn't want to stir the pot through the media, and rather keep the venting behind closed doors.. who knows..

Besides, I thought most people felt Jarrett Jack shouldn't have complained through the media regarding being yanked from the starting lineup..

The thing about Triano is he intentionally said that, knowing that his team didn't come to play. He's just past the point of lowering his own expectations, he knows his team is trash and realizes he can't do anything about it.

Jay Triano belongs to a 12 year-old feminine basketball team. Nothing else to say. This guy had no biz in the NBA in first place.

This is ridiculous. Triano has no emotion and no accountability for players. It still boggles my mind how he is the head coach after not even impressing during his interim tenure. It's times like this where I miss Mitchell. At least he'd get upset.

Contrast Triano with Antoine Wright:

So the players say we were crap vs the Jazz in the media, but Jay thinks the effort was good.

Triano is protecting who? More and more convinced that he's an idiot.

I'm not surprised that Jay said that. I've said it since the pre-season - Jay lacks the intensity, discipline and leadership that elite head coaches all have.

Tonight, Jack Armstrong went on and on about the discipline and systems that good coaches like Sloan, Skiles, Brown demand - yet he never once mentioned Jay in those conversations. Also, Jack said the Jazz were all business in the pregame warmups and he implied the Raptors were not.

He doesn't want to hurt their feelings.

Really, though, a coach shouldn't even have to worry about effort in March when you're fighting for a playoff spot.

Himself? Trying to keep his job by not making it seem like the players have tuned him out and don't respect him? I would be highly surprised to see JT as head coach next season.

I went to the OKC game and I can contest that the Raptors warmups were lackadasical. I know Rated and I think tush also mentioned the same thing about the warmups in the NJ game. All in all, I'm not surprised anymore, it's likely been going on for the past month.

I wonder how did this guy get a 3 year contract. Is BC a **** idiot?

The NBA is pure fantasy, failure gives you promotions while in the real world this guy would be working at Tim Hortons.

I'm sorry but at this stage of the season I can't accept my team to play like that and stand up in front of the media and say that the effort was good. I would actually call out the team not the players individually and say we played like crap and we deserved to lose. I mean be blunt you can't hide what you saw on the floor because everyone who was at the game and was watching it on TV saw that there was no effort from the get go.

Thankfully the third year is a team option.

It's one thing to protect your players, but you can't sugarcoat this. He basically has lost all the credibility with this comment.
