Pelicans head coach Monty Williams fired

[Tony D'Amato]

AD averaged less points this year vs the east

N1gga, I was sayin I want him out of the West

I thought the main requirement of a coaching job was progress which Monty accomplished?

this sounds personal.

I got the sense him and Dell never were on the same page.

Look at the type of players Dell bought in as opposed to the system Monty ran...it never made sense.

:reallysaints: I was complaining about Brother Williams, but, now that they've actually fired him, I'm hurting for him.

He's a black man. You thought by his team playing better and ascending every year it would save his job?

If anything; Dell needs to

But, I'm feeling for Monty. Great guy and AD loves him.

I don't really like this. He deserved another year.

We stayed injured.

Was Demps brought in after Monty had already been hired as HC?

And i want him on the bulls.

But let's see if he's serious about leaving. If he picks up his 5th Qualifying offer then he can bounce as a free agent.

Has anyone said Mike D'Antoni's name yet?

Knew it. Him and Dell had a power/philosophy struggle. Looks like Dell won. The heat is on Dell now. He better up his game as a GM.

@SchoolboyC mentioned he might get fired himself..... The owner already is probably looking

Yes. Was never his hire. I could see for a while they were never on the same page. I felt making the playoffs made Dell and Monty kind of think they could continue to co-exist though, but maybe Game 3 was Dell's breaking point.

Yeah that I was saying earlier, most of the time it doesn't work out when the coach is there before the GM

recent report stated Thibs strongly preferred NO job compared to ORL. Probably wanted to make it official to Thibs that its there for him.

Anthony Davis will be playing 45 minutes a night

 

[DoubleJ13]

It is pretty fukked up that they told him make the playoffs or you are out & then fired him anyway

I feel for AD if Thibs gets the job. People were already talking about how gassed he looked in some of the playoff games. Whole team is injury prone already & will end up on injured reserve with Thibs minutes.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

I just hope you fukking Cajuns stay away from Alvin Gentry.

 

[Rev]

So Pop gave him game #82, and gave up home court for nothing after all? Maybe he just did it so Monty could have a sniff of the playoffs.

Thibs is going to have AD looking all sweaty and sloppy like Patrick Ewing back in the day. Better delete bench out of his vocabulary.
