there you go again, loosing your poop in defense of the coach.
it's hard to reason with someone who believes a player's draft order is indicative of their degree of hustle
Did I say that? No, you're making assumptions now. YOU originally pointed how our #1 pick needs to be taught to hustle not me, I was simply asking you where you come up with something like that. Go ahead and deflect though.
BTW "loosing"? I believe you meant LOSING because loosing makes no sense. You claimed to be a professional writer so you should have known that already.
first, regarding me saying Igor told Ayton to "play timid" -- go poop yourself troll!
I've posted before about Igor mentioning "not fouling" 3 times in the first minute of a post game interview and that his argument with Bridges was when he got his 5th foul (but should have been high-fived for being the only one playing hard). Also, clearly, Ayton is being instructed to just hold his hands straight up like a robot when defending the paint (if you can call that defending)
as i said. Ayton is confused and so is Igor. yes, he's absolutely telling his players to be more aggressive (and NOT at the same time)
again, i'll ask you to stop trolling me with your whining and annoying homer-ism
You really don't know what a troll is do you?
YOU act like one by posting contradictory posts all the time and always bringing everything back around to bashing someone, typically Igor, but you need to stay on topic, I asked you to back up the claim that Igor has Ayton playing soft so he doesn't foul but you can't so you resort to name calling. That's real mature.
Again, you haven't provided proof other than "Igor said it" but I don't recall ever hearing him say that Ayton needs to play passive. Most of the time he talks about Ayton it's how Ayton needs to be more aggressive and assertive but you're the one making the claim here so back it up or quit trying to use it as a crutch. You can't back it up and now you want to claim that both Ayton and Igor are confused, are you a mind reader now? Why didn't you just mention that.
So you want Igor to reinforce bad habits with players though? That's what you're suggesting by saying he should have high fived Bridges when he got pulled about 2 dozen games back when he picked up his 5th foul on a bad play. Please give me an example of something like you suggest happening in the NBA before because I've never seen a coach respond positively to a key player needing to be pulled because he's picked up dumb fouls late in a game. Picking up fouls isn't "playing hard" either, if that were the case then Mark West was one of the hardest working players in NBA history and so was Alex Len.
Quit making assumptions and back up some of your claims. You not backing them up is trollish behavior and so is resorting to bashing Igor in every thread like you do. Look up what a troll is, you'll learn something.
