Hilarious that only Lori Nickel has the stones to ask interesting questions. Nehm and Jim O. are really bad at their jobs.

I wish these dudes would just be honest when they are speaking in public.

People say that but then lose their **** when Aaron Rodgers says "will do". :lol:

Guys, Horst isn't gonna kick Griff on his way out the door. That'd be a terrible look.

My mindset would be that a guy who has been really good at getting 3-1 and 3-2 leads in playoff series has Giannis & Dame as his closers now. As opposed to having guys like James Harden and Ben Simmons as his closers like in the past.

It might not work out, but I would be nervous.


seems like the opposite of what most are feeling


They have no idea what we've looked like under Griff. They just see the record and don't realize how much of a clustercuss it's been.


And1'd for the Fantastic Mr. Fox reference.

And I agree with content as well.

It's not a choice of lying vs. saying idiotic things.

If a person like Rodgers says demonstrably stupid things, you don't give him a pass because he spoke his mind. You criticize the content of what he says.

Genuinely confused at people wanting Horst to be super honest and just lay out all the details here? I’ll take a cold blooded GM who will do whatever necessary behind the scenes but will publicly say all the right things to avoid burning any bridges, over a GM who can’t keep his mouth shut and will spew information just to appease fans.

What do you really expect him to say.Your calling him a lier i dont get it.Make everyone feel better if he gets up there n tells everyone grif sucked hes glad he fired him.Horst has always had respect.Media knows that n am sure most were expecting him to say exactly what he did.
This board wanted horst to run the bus over grif

Who is asking for all the details? Just asking for some more honesty and less pr spew. He fired a coach 43 games after firing a title winning coach and gave no real reason for it.

Now we are stuck with Rivers and for sure it will be for next year at least. I don't think he is terrible just that the times have passed him.

Bud at the end, without being perfect was the bright exception in the list of Drew,Kidd,Griffin,Rivers.

I think it all started when we botched the GM hire


Stotts wouldn't have taken it, even if offered. It is putting him in a really bad position - tons of pressure.

Horst stayed classy. No need throwing AG under the bus after being fired.

Then don’t lie and say he didn’t lose the team, change the subject or dance around the answer. Flat out lying is bad.

Kind of like how PJ took out all the Rocket's starters 1 by 1 during our title run.

Ariza, Harden, Cappela & CP3.

I have to think they thought they could get doc for the PC. No reason to have one otherwise. You can't talk about doc or the search and you can't say anything meaningful about AG.

Now the pregame dude is repeating this nonsense about the window changing after Griffin was hired. No one can be buying that, right? There is some weird gaslighting going on.

Guessing they want to space things out... the Doc finalized stuff probably came out a day before we wanted it to
