I’m not talking about this year. You had a decade, NOW you question him? Of course you can do whatever, but in my opinion you’re late to the right conclusion.
I stand by everything I said up till this point.Quote:

Well his historical standard is mediocrity. He’s managed to reach that once again if you only regard his conference peers. Nothing new going on here.
Lucky we have had him tied up with extensions or someone would have taken him from us by now.
Well Turbine loves to fight Windmills
I would have never given him the last two extensions although the one after the <b>27</b> win season was automatic.Quote:

You have always blamed him for player depth shortcomings. Turns out you were right I was wrong.
Your failing and where you lost credibility was refusing to recognize 27-wins.
Actually I commented often that season was special until the collapse. I said it was one of the best teams and records since the great teams of Shipley and Pascal. Then the collapse, and evaluation of teams beaten and loss to. Turns out he wasted lots of talent.Quote:

Some games probably so but he's still a maddening player that screwed up. I don't blame Marlin on this one.Quote:

Given our injuries this year and Justin's durability issues, God had Justin where he needed to be.

How do we know Davis was dismissed by coaching staff?
From what I understand Miller and Davis were in the same boat, and the decision may have been influenced from above the coaching staff.Quote:

But just as Turbine posted here and and I have seen others refer to a belief that the roster turnover last year was a move by the coaching staff related to on court performance which wasn’t entirely the case.Quote:

I don’t necessarily believe that. If they thought they were talented, they would’ve overlooked the off the court stuff. (PJ hardy)Quote:
