Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
So conflicting reports from the players and head coach? Nice!
I'm getting the sense we really need to just clean house and cut our losses with this staff and FO. Its been toxic for as long as I can remember, and its starting to get national attention. I regularly see TV analysts and fans from other cities cite our FO as being terrible. Bring in some respectable, well known figures to run this team. Sing a couple veteran players to govern the locker room.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
they can hold a meeting everyday for the rest of the season, it does not matter. This current roster is horrible to include the coaching staff.

Another year under Gar/Pax rein and another year of dysfunction. It's just a joke every year it seems.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
I'm amazed at how quickly a new coach can have players revolt against him. In fairness to Boylen, this is really a result of GarPax making a decision that is probably not going to work out.
In the end, if Boylen results in GarPax losing their jobs then he will be the best coach we've had in a decade.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
I hope when the players got together they had a bunch of mirrors they could talk into when moaning. They don’t like having their feelings hurt when they give lousy effort.
This league is so friggin soft now, the inmates run the asylum. Go tell Pat Riley how your coach hurt your feelings and see what he thinks.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
who do we think are locker room problem players?
I'm hard pressed to think of guys who aren't professional. Maybe Blakeney and Parker, but don't think they're too bad.

This is a chicken-egg thing. The players haven't prepared or performed as they should and the new HC has disrespected the players with some stupid HS ****.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
I'd be curious to know which players are leading a revolt after 3 days. That's some real bad news.

I certainly do not know all the behind the scenes info, but Hoiberg seemed like a "friendly" coach who cuddled his players and Boylen seems to be the exact opposite and is very demanding of hard work. I personally like that and it looks like he was trying to send a message to his players that court time is EARNED not a given. If the effort isn't there, then you're not on the court. It certainly can't be pulled all the time, but early in his tenure it send s the message of what's expected.
Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
Given the age of the guys on this team and the place in their careers, if they are pushing back on a coach that expects work then that is pretty ridiculous. These aren't veterans who have done this before. I could see Wade/Rondo doing that and being kind of ok with it. These aren't guys nursing 10 years of injuries on their bodies. These are almost all young guys with a ton to prove.

Re: Players supposedly hold meeting: No management
It's not a high school move, I have seen all 5 players get pulled in the Pros many times. Popovich just did it a few weeks ago in a game I was watching, Thibs did it in the past and so did Skiles.transplant wrote:Jax Teller wrote:I hope when the players got together they had a bunch of mirrors they could talk into when moaning.

If players don't earn their minutes and get away with everything like they have for the past 3 1/2 years. You lose.
Sure this adjustment is going to be tough on players and they aren't going to be happy, but who cares if they aren't happy they can leave in free agency. You aren't going to win with players who can't be coached hard.
We already are one of the worst teams in the league, what is the worst that can come out of all this? Can't go much further down then we are.
If this whole thing continues to blow up hopefully it leads to Gar/Pax finally getting fired for assembling this team/coaching staff.
