Shots fired (post-Nets)

DeMarcus Cousins said he can't keep blaming the "guys in the locker room" for defense, said he wants to keep those "bigger issues" in house
Wow...who would have guessed that the players would have enough of Karl and start airing things publicly?
Like I posited weeks ago, I'm not entirely sure the guy is actually coaching, and may be daring Vlade to fire him.

Did anyone catch his post-game presser?
...
He threw Rondo under the bus by blaming him for the foul. He'd better be right that Rondo inexplicably brainfarted, because that's the kind of comment that will have the team start airing dirty laundry in public.

From Dave

"That last quote from DMC is all you need to know. Speaking for the team. Ladies and Gentlemen, you may officially start the DEFCON clock."

DEFCON

Sounds familiar.


I will say, that as far as a "shots fired" quote, Boogie's is about as mild as you are ever going to see.

I think the real "shots fired" is the team's defensive and record collapse right through a soft stretch of schedule that could have firmly established us as a playoff team. Instead we died. That's your shots. When guys quit responding in mysterious fashion, not a word has to be said.

I wouldn't have to, if people didn't constantly ignore how often some people are accurate around here, and instead choose to criticize/name-call constantly....
Oh, please. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You've posited more conspiracy theories than Fox Mulder. This isn't about you or your predictions. No offense meant, but it's way bigger than you patting yourself on the back.

I give him until the All-Star break. And then I hope to god that Vivek doesn't get cheap and let Corliss finish out the season to save a few bucks.

Why? Your teammate just laid it out the subtly. Just confirm its going to be kept in house if you don't want to publicly call out the coach.
Who knows what order the quotes were given or whether Rondo knew what Cuz said. more importantly, in his position after last year? Any signs of coach conflict are 100% a non no for him. I actually don't think he has a particular problem with Karl, but I think even if he did he would have every reason to conceal it.

Twitter (at least the people I pay real attention to) has gone quiet. I would sure love to be on the tarmack in Boston to see who walks off the plane with whom...and who stumbles off alone into the night.

Yeah those were my thoughts as well. If it's really bad and he wants out he wants to at least make himself marketable to another team. And if he wants to stay he'll want to show the front office he's not a drama liability. Either way after the Dallas debacle I'd imagine he'll be staying low key during all of this.

Boogie doesn't have to say much when everyone can see it. And he's been at least professional through the frustration via the media. I wonder if much damage control is even needed this time around?

Seems like it should be pretty clear things are not working out, and its not a single players fault.

Bobby Jackson said after Cousins' comment that it was pretty much unnecessary to put your dirty laundry out there for the world to see....

If it happens, will probably be Corliss or someone for rest of year. We'll have a good idea of viveks tinkering if it's another coach promising to focus on fast paced entertaining basketball

pure dejection. Think of things you have seen. Boogies hands going up when WCS gets taken out the other night. You can see players eyes squint when a sub comes to table like wtf is he coming in for. Just strange subs
