JB engineered Coyle to Minnesota? Yeesh.

If he’s capable of that, you’d think he’d be bringing in better rosters the last 8 years.

Plenty to complain about, but cmon.

Its life. When you are winning negative situations are minimized. Losing, increased. I seriously think that Jim, sorry Gus believes what he says and its actually not as big a deal as its being made out to be. I thought he was exactly who he is. He just needs to win a few.

Stop trying to make Gus happen.

 

[OrangeDW]

Its not in his DNA. Try to find a press conference after a loss where Jim takes any responsibility. Seriously try to find one. 47 years worth of press conferences and i dont think there are any.

He’s too insecure. Even after 1,000+ wins. You’d think he’d be secure in his knowledge, ability, and accomplishments and not care what anyone says. But it’s clearly the opposite.

The horror.

 

[rrlbees]

He’s made enemies in the media for decades. They will say whatever they want now and throw lots of things at him. Doesn’t make it right but there’s a reason Coach K always got glowing coverage. He knew how to leverage the press and do things behind the scenes. JB does not.

So lying is ok because he doesn’t like JB?

Idk what a Dan Wolken is but it sounds like an idiot.

Better Gus:

How soft are you?

JB’s insecurity is something else. Even when he’s being a complete jerk, I can’t help but feel bad for him.

Agreed. He must have been picked on as a kid or its a parental issue. Hes always been unbelievably insecure even with all of his successes.

Maybe. Truly was an elite basketball guy for decades though, who had to deal with being criticized by many thousands of relative basketball idiots, at a time when he wasnt established or as financially secure. So I can’t help but think that’s a big part of it? Would think he would’ve moved past caring by now though.

I told you. Its happened just like your Day 2. Its a nickname. Pick another one for him or call him whatever you like. My nickname is based on one of my all time favorite theater characters. Its like Swag Daddy or shorter. Gus.

Cool. I’m calling him J-Bone then. Combination of T-Bone from Seinfeld and Chaz’s one time “J-Bone” reference to his protege Jeremy from Wedding Crashers.

J-Bone>>>>>Gus.

Maybe we should just call you Gus.

“J-Bone…is..believe it or not he’s getting married.”

“WHAT?!!! Huhuhuuho!!! What an IDIOT! Ohhhh….What a LOSER! Good! Good! More for me and you!!!”

Who knows but it is his Achilles. Its too bad because he obviously does so much good and all you have to do is watch one JB Army game and you can see the love and respect his players have for him. Look at Melo jumping in. That should be the narrative and if he would just not take the questions personally hed be fine.
