between this and the Summer League interview...this is music to my ears. Acknowledging and working on the problem are 2 big steps. Now to see it in game. Wonder why Carlisle and company didn't address this sooner? Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

It also doesn’t mean much until game-day because you can revert back to old habits at the snap of the thumb. Glad he is putting in the work though. I hope he breaks out. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute

When you are tired, hurt, mentally drained and frustrated, also with the immense pressures involved, then you are asked to do it at top level speed against world class athletes, this is a different story. Changing something you've done TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES already is just very difficult to do. A real competitor would have ID'ed and started to work on this stuff before you even get drafted. This is why Jimmy Butler is such a good player. Even before he was in the NBA, he outworked everyone. Carlisle is one of the best coaches in the current NBA. But you can't make someone care enough to bleed everything they've got to relentlessly get better. DSJr wants a new contract. His rookie deal and his primary developmental window are closing. Sure he's gonna start realizing he needs to work harder to get that money. How about working hard before you get to that point? How is it the coaches fault that the player just doesn't care enough about his own game to develop it relentlessly? Acknowledging the problem means jack ****. You put in the work and you execute. That's all that matters. Can you get it done? This is the same **** I've talked about before, giving credit to NBA players for SHIT THEY SHOULD BE DOING ANYWAY TO JUST BE A BASELINE PROFESSIONAL. He's such a good teammate! You want a mother****ing cookie? It's your JOB to be a good teammate. He's shown up in shape! You want a gold star? It's your ****ing JOB to show up in elite condition. So many fans set the bar so ****ing low it's sad. If DSJr was actually doing his job to be the best player he could be from the time he was drafted, he wouldn't be in this situation now. ( Dumped to a losing team trying to salvage his career) I'm not giving him credit for realizing he has a duty to do his ****ing job in the first place. If he wants a cookie, he can get one from you instead. |
