Lol it's not politically correct to not be a dbag towards players trying to make it on a team and especially one who actually provided much needed energy.
Don't know why I'm even responding to a VF21 sock account though.
It doesn't matter if he is affected or not.. No one is saying he's going to stop playing... Doesn't mean it's not poor coaching etiquette and unnecessary.
It's not hatred just because you disagree with it. If anything, you are approaching cheerleader status for all things Kings. A Kings staff member could call one of the players a 'bag of crap' and you'd sit here saying 'well, it is possible that he smells bad'
You're just a modern day debater...
If I was Sampson and heard those comments my motivation would be pretty shot. I don't get how you can really defend it, it's a crapty thing to say to a player playing hard for us right now.
Also discouraging energy players is classic Joerger.
I still don't even get why Joerger is an NBA coach. Inherited a great team and gets to live off that success since. I don't know any coach that talks down on its players like that.
Yes Joerger hates energy, he likes it snail pace so he understands what's going on.
What he said about Sampson isn't very professional regardless if true. Why play after you hear that?
3Bo - (A). Despite being horrible defender, you can't knock him last night!
Mason - (A). Just love his composure and game.
Vince - (A). 3 dunks by Vince Carter in 2017 is an auto A. He really set players up nicely especially that kick back to Hield.
Fox - (B). Still love what Fox brings...
Sampson & Vince Carter. These are my two favorites, they just bring that it factor that gets others going. A
Mason the steady killer who is a keeper forsure. A
The rest were just a bit okay. Not a bad loss, would have been a great win.
