Rick's press conference

[Warhawk]

Is at 2 pm, correct? Anyone know where we'll be able to catch it? Is it going to be on 1140am?

Thanks.

 

[Warhawk]

Never mind, they just had an annoncement verifying that yes, it's at 2 and yes, it's on 1140.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Anyone know if nbatv will show it or if there is a streaming option for those of us not in the area?

 

[nancgo]

kcra.com will webcast it live....

 

[loopymitch]

I'm hoping it's on nba.com like GP's press conference yesterday. I guess we'll see in a few minutes.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

It will be on NBA TV according to the crawl underneath the game on now.

^ Thanks Fillmoe

He is very emotional

 

[vj9999]

HE sounds like he is crying

 

[WalMatt23]

damn, hes making me kinda choke up...

 

[loopymitch]

This is making me emotional. He looks so sad

 

[BenchMob]

He sounds like a man that was let go rather than his choice, I could be wrong, didnt hear the beginning

 

[sdballer]

As much as I think this is the right call, I feel for him and his family. Whatever my concerns were with his coaching style, he is a classy guy and I hope he ends up on his feet.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Its becoming very clear this wasn't a mutual decision.

Rick is a classy guy.

 

[SacKingsFX]

damn... i'm getting emotional watching this presser... damn yall... how could they do him like that?

 

[Bricklayer]

Yep -- no question about the whole "mutual" thing anymore.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Is this live on NEWS10?

 

[BenchMob]

He wanted to come back too, damn

 

[loopymitch]

That's messed up Maloofs didn''t even talk to him personally, so wrong after all he's done for this team.

 

[WalMatt23]

Is this live on NEWS10?

www.news10.net

being streamed live

That seems to be a trend. At least he didn't find out on TV like Peja.

 

[Tomcat]

KCRA.com has a clear feed. That News10 feed yesterday was horrible quality!

But it sure doesn't sound like a mutual decision. That was big of Joe to talk to Rick on the phone for 5 minutes. Ummmm yeah. I hope a NBA team picks up Adelman and that he wins a championship. He deserves it.

 

[KingsOwn]

It's clear he was terminated. He wanted to come back but it appears the Maloofs didn't even talk to him. They just had Geoff call him and tell him he's fired.

Losing respect for the Maloofs.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Mutual my ***, sounds more like he was kicked out the door. He deserved to be talked to AT LEAST and i was rooting for him to get the extension. He wanted to come back and the Maloofs should have let him.

 

[SacKingsFX]

maloofs are really disappointing me.. damn first peja and now rick

 

[RoyalDiva]

That seems to be a trend. At least he didn't find out on TV like Peja.

Does seem to be a trend in the NBA. I always read about traded/fired coaches and players complaining about how they were never contacted personally about what happened and found out about it the hard way. I wonder why the league does that-could it just be a litigation matter?

 

[vj9999]

I respected Rick as it is, but with every word he says in this conference I respect him even more.
