Dear Scott,

Thank you for everything. Letting me be 3rd on the team in usage, even though I wasn't very efficient at all shooting a 51 TS%. My future contract and I thank you!

Pacers To Promote Nate McMillan To Head Coach


Well, so, this isn't about Skiles moving back to Indiana. Hmm.

It is all still baffling how and why Skiles would walk away from 10M. How? Why?

Of course I agree with you. But I ask, how much do you have to hate your job to walk away rom 10M ?

He's still the reigning Eastern Conference Coach of December. A title he will hold for at least another 7 months.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Thank you Skiles for being such an ****, making us remember how bad it is to have an **** for a coach, and thus imbued us with the vision of having a non-asshole for a coach!

I appreciate skiles getting us 10 more wins. I don't appreciate skiles benching Nicholson, which imo kept us out of the playoffs.

But if he was being pressured about Payton like the rumors claim, maybe he was pressured to sit #44.... maybe my blame should be on Henny. Hmm.
Favorite Magic players of all time:
1. Dennis Scott
2. Andrew Nicholson
3. Anthony "no-neck" Johnson

Liked Skiles and Love Vogel. The team just went from having a good coach to having a great coach. What's not to like about that?

Thank you Scott, for making us remember your best assist night came the day you quit, instead of the day you set the Magic record.

Return to Orlando Magic
