Mike Dunleavy Claps Back
Yesterday, Clippers owner Donald Sterling put his coach on blast by basically saying, Win now or risk losing your job. Today, Mike Dunleavy fired back at the owner.
“It would be the biggest mistake you ever made,” Dunleavy said Tuesday in response to Sterling’s win-now-or-else comments made here a day earlier.
“It’s his team and he can do whatever he likes . . . but look, you can find any coach you want, bring him in here and run the situation. But I don’t think they are going to do as good a job as I do. And that’s period.”
Ah, nothing better than a good feud to start the day.
Obviously, Donald Sterling is in the wrong here. He not only put undue pressure onto his head coach, but he failed to understand the simple fact that Dunleavy’s done about as good a job as humanly possible considering the fact that his starting power foward (one of the very best in the League, no less) and promising young point guard (whose gruesome knee injury is still giving me nightmares) have both yet to play a single minute of basketball this season.
I kind of miss the old Donald Sterling. You know, the ultra-stingy team owner by day, and slumlord extraordinaire by night.

I’m with Don on this one. He obviously understands basketball and that the city of LA can’t have two playoff bound teams next year.

I’m not going to edit myself and hope you guys appreciate that the word “perid” does not exist in the english vocabulary.

Give the Dun a chance, Sterling. It doesn’t help the team’s record when one of the top power forwards on the roster is injured. It’s like watching the T-Wolves without KG. Oh wait….

Sterling has been screwing the Clips for years with his frugal ways. He doesn’t deserve a coach like Dunleavy.

I’m not sticking up for Sterling here, but a lot of Clipper fans hate Dunleavy. It’s not because the team isn’t winning right now, because most fans expected that as soon as Elton went down, but its more because of his inclination to put fan favorites (Maggette) in the doghouse, his perplexing substitution pattern, and the factsthat the team almost never scores coming out of a time out. I still think Donald should shut the f*ck up though.

Maggette a fan favorite? He has the basketball IQ of the turd I took this morning. Dunleavy is not a great coach, but Sterling is an absolute moron.

Maybe the Clippers and Bulls can combine to create a half decent team. Chicago wishes they still had Brand anyway.

Basketball IQ has nothing to do with it. Most fans have no basketball IQ, they want to see dunks and acrobatic shots, something Maggette provides frequently. And given that the most likable Clippers are rehabing, I would say Cassell and Maggette are most popular. Oh except Tim Thomas, everyone loves Tim Thomas.

Everyone loves Tim Thomas??!! No wonder everyone is a Lakers fan.
