John Beilein: Continuing his education

[Futuredome]

Hopefully people that want to keep players due to veteran leadership are full of it. They all need traded. They are damaged goods to the Cavs. Garland, Porter and Windler don't need them.

It's like they thought the "traditional NBA" way was working for them last year. These vets don't realize all that trouble, although agonizingly annoying as a fan, was worth it when LeBron/Kyrie were here but just comes off laughable with one of the worst rosters in the league.

I hope this backfires and all these losers who are okay getting blown out can find new teams. Once you demonstrate the competency of a professional then you'll be treated like one. To think they want days off after getting their doors blown off every game. @Sticker114 is 100% right, go the 76ers route and trade all these delusional vets and try to find gems like Robert Covington in the G-Leauge. This kind of attitude and entitlement is probably why NBA viewership is plummeting.

What abunch of prima donnas. So, they suck as players. Coach is trying to get them to play HIS way...... and now they're upset.

Ship out every pathetic baby that's crying.

I guarantee clarkson selfish ass is one of them.

100%.

Clarkson, Tristan, Nance. If it isn't Nance, plug in Love.

Yeah I mean the excuse last year for not being a better team is that Tristan and Love weren't healthy. Well, they are healthy now and they still can't win games. They need to take some ownership of that, or at least have some patience with 2 19 year olds and a leading scorer who is 20

They would take ownership of it and be a high seed in the east if Beilein didn't force them to use verbiage like Polar Bear instead of calling it a curl

The most troubling quote is about the players not happy about "nitpicking" over fundamentals and long film studies.

Also... saying the coach doesn't understand the NBA game is asinine. Judging from the results, these players don't understand the NBA game either. Go be washed up over-the-hill vets somewhere else.

I was wondering when this was going to start..and there will be some bodies shipped out. Not the HC but some players.

Front office should just give Beilein full reign to DNP anyone or send them to G-League if they don't perform to his standards or arent listening to him. Euroleague-style.

We already saw how that worked out for Blatt. Completely different team makeup and circumstance now but similar in that the well has now been clearly poisoned. I do truly believe Love is leading the charge and is just too cowardly to request a trade publicly. His terrible body language and lack of engagement is jarring at times and has been more pronounced during this recent stretch. The guards get to chuck like crazy so I have my doubts about Clarkson.

Let Love earn his salary battling Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Eh.

Theres no offense. That read and react shit isn’t working with this team. I thought he was going to have a legit system with plays ran.

Players don’t even know what set their in. That’s an issue.

JB isn’t perfect nor is he exempt from criticism.

While I do agree with that take - looking at the games and seeing the players play it really seems like the sense of desire and desperation is lacking. On one end the players are lethargic and on the other JB is pacing the floor with enough pace to burn his soles !!

I don’t think think that any top tier coach can do much with these players. For once I want to see the organization side with the coach!! We don’t have any superstar to appease and it is high time we let a coach install a system.

He is being asked tough questions in the pre-game availability or so I see on twitter,but they haven't posted the video yet. My guess is they will not post it. It is usually only available for an hour or so before the game anyway.
