He not who I thought he was and his leadership sucks. A Vet crying about a newly installed offense and placing blame on a 2nd yr player and a rookie.

Get him out of here.

He could try something called “Being a leader,” or actually getting back down the court and playing D.

wait a second, so Garlands piss poor play has nothing to do with Love being disengaged? the two young guards are always driving into road blocks , not moving the ball like the coach wants and are most likely the ones in disagreement with the coach or worse cannot execute anything he wants so they revert to bad basketball. So, I ask you if you were Kevin Love and the org you committed to was more committed to high use of two young undersized guards who refuse to play the game the right way for a rookie head coach with some questionable methods , wouldn't you be a little past the point of keeping it in house?

What seems odd is that Love seem really into helping Sexton last year. My guess he just doesn't like how Beilein is using him and developing Sexton/Garland. I think Love would be alot more engage if he was being used in plays to get Sexton and Garland to play right. I think the previous staff gave the Vets the freedom to teach Sexton and the other young guys plays that work for them. The pick and pop was used all the time last season between Sexton and Love, it's no existent in this offense.
 
The solution to the problem is having Sexton or Garland come off the bench. Too bad Delly is just so bad,,but he at least plays like a point guard and can pass the ball. Love is fed up, he parked himself in the lane and had position on a smaller player and Garland just didn't recognize the mismatch and passed it to the wing,,,Love just stood in the lane and said the hell with it and took the 3 second call to prove a point,,,whether it sunk in or not is hard to know.
This team isn't even competitive anymore,,,its making it hard for even a die hard like myself to tune into the games. I hate to watch players that don't share the ball,,,maybe they are picking this crap up from Clarkson who knows...sorry for the rant.

I mean his mantra worked as far as getting a breeding mate. I gotta salute him and the poor girls that had to deal with all of his pickup lines.

mantra? Breeding mate? Pickup lines?

Are we in India, Alabama or the Jersey shore?

Are they both cool with you wearing the Superman t-shirt while you hide in the closet filming? I know that was a potential deal breaker.

So long as i have the ballgag in, they let me wear whatever 80s cartoon t- shirt I want.

90s were disallowed after I got cocky and tried to join in.

I think Beilein has very different methods than the previous staff to trying to get the young guys to play right. I didn't think the previous staff did an amazing job of developing Sexton and Cedi but they did get the Vets invested in their development. The Vets were leaned on to be teachers as much if not more than the coaching staff.

Now though the vets are just being ask to go out there and play with little purpose. They aren't teachers and they aren't good enough to contend. We aren't seeing Beilein incorporate plays that have worked well for the vets for years. This is where I think the friction between the team and certain players are coming from. I think we aren't seeing Beilein adjust enough to the NBA for the vets.
 
Pathetic the way he is playing. I wouldnt even play him risking injury, he's completely quit.

I was wondering last night if we wouldn't have been better with Nance starting with TT. Game against Orlando was much better. Obviously Philly is a tougher team, but vets moving with purpose helps the young guys. Also, Love rarely sets a good screen.
