The Scott Skiles Thread

"I wasn't getting my point across. I need to be an even bigger **** than ever before."

You can cut the tension in the room with a knife. Obvious last ditch effort to save his job. Nobody is happy that it has come to this point... but at this point... I'm done with this season as a fan. My only happiness to be found in this team is player development and losing to improve our draft position.

If we don't see significant growth in our players, then that is on Skiles... and whoever he chooses to invest playing time in... Fournier, Oladipo, Hezonja... Harris, Gordon... I hope he develops future stars.

Is there a video showing that room? Meanwhile....

This morning, Frye, Tobias Harris and Evan Fournier all echoed the same thought: The Magic have to play harder, especially on defense. “He shouldn’t have to coach effort,” Magic power forward Channing Frye said when asked about his coach.

Lol that you took that sentence so literally. Ok, how about this instead... Things have to be pretty stressed out right now...

Do you have a disagreement with that opinion? Lol.

I don't know if you're just being naive or what, but no player will publicly comment in a negative way towards their head coach. In fact, it will be the opposite. So by posting quotes from interviews you're not proving any kind of point. Coaches can talk bad about their players because they make the decisions. A player talking bad about his coach is just begging for trouble.

Uh..your sentence did not insinuate in any way that it shouldn't be read literally, in fact I wasn't being sarcastic I was asking a question if the video was online somewhere. Insecure much?

You seriously think its the coaches job to coach effort? Who is being naive?

The game's turning point occurred in the Magic huddle with Orlando trailing by 13 with 8:39 left in the third quarter. Once again, as they had throughout January, the Magic were playing soft. Skiles appealed to his players' pride.

"He basically challenged us to rise to the occasion," Gordon said. "There wasn't anything that he could say [about] X's-and-O's, and that's really what it came down to. There was nothing he could write on the white board. It was just whether we had heart or not, and we picked it up."
