I'm not a fan of Byron but I'm at least going to give him a pass this year. I'm not even sure some of these dudes would be good enough to cut it in the D League.

Blame his players or hold them accountable? There's a difference you know.

How Alonzo Gee and Jamison doing though?

Re: 1/10-1/16 Games Discussion Thread

Why throw your team under the bus by calling them scary? Who's going to want to play for a coach thats always blaming his players and/or throwing them under the bus? I know I wouldn't.

Can you really blame him though? He's coaching hot garbage. I think he'd ease up on what he's saying if he actually had decent players with heart on the team.

And it's not like he's wrong in saying that either. Just look at the LeBron return game. The whole team was like that nerdy kid that's surrounded by hot girls with how scared/nervous they were.

There's a difference too in that we're not talking about a coach who is unproven.

I mean he's accomplished some things. He's turned things around before. Regardless of which players were on his squad.

Oh and Kidd didn't have that great of a cast around him.

Come on now...They were down like 89-36 at one point in the last two minutes of the third quarter. The usual 'we came out flat' crap doesn't cut it after a perfomance like that, especially not during a season like this after an offseason like that. You gotta lay into those guys for something like that and certainly show the fans of the team that you're not standing for perfomances like that.

I can't say because I stopped watching after the ****show on December 2nd, but judging from what's been going on it's not like they've made much of a difference.

I just can't wait until we finally get players that actually give a damn. I don't care if it isn't the most talented group of players or anything, as long as they actually play hard. Things were looking that way for about the first month of the season, but after that everything just spiraled into ****tyness.

Re: 1/10-1/16 Games Discussion Thread

I was responding to Throne saying he couldn't play for a Coach that blames his players and I told him that there's a difference. Didn't say Byron was doing the latter but I was talking moreso in general.

As for Kidd and his cast, trust me. I already know ALL about that, especially when it came to the "which players carried a worst supporting cast the farthest" arguments on here.

Everything the Nets did successfully was pretty much all Kidd and we really seen how obvious that was once the 12 year old took over from Byron.

Scott has a history of never taking blame and throwing players under the bus. Isolating players for reason I deem petty. This may not be as bad ,but this is his MO. How about taking some of the blame. You are the HC after all.

If you think he threw his players under the bus, you're right. He did.

And they deserved to get thrown under 1,000 buses too.

As far as him not taking the blame, well you got me on that, but if someone were to ask him I'm sure he would admit it. You might be taking that quote out of context depending upon the question that was asked.

Don't worry I got it. LOL

I agree this was an extreme case. But he has a history of doing these things and alienating players in most cases his franchise players. Not that there is a franchise player in Cleveland.

Like I said a few times already this is how he always is.

I'm late, but.. 112-57? 81-33 in the 3rd? Seriously Cleveland............

That's all well and good, but to me, using this particular season for your agenda against Scott is amusing.

When you look at their situation, and the fact that Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison, the two best players on your team, talk about how it's the most embarrassing moment of their basketball careers... I mean what Scott said wasn't alienating anyone. The players themselves will tell you worse criticisms of their performances.

My point is he has a history of never accepting blame or worst passing it on to his players. This case may be one where the players probably are more to blame ,but stand up coaches always stomach the blame.
