OK, we need to slow things down for a second. Solomon is a locker room cancer? makes sense though b/c whenever i've seen him warmup b/f the games, he completely ignores the other team mates, doesn't give them 'their space' so to speak and is just generally an ass out there.

Superjudge · 02-03-2009, 11:21 AM

I like when he hits his pull up three's.

bjjs · 02-03-2009, 11:23 AM

I can see why he would be unhappy. So what did he do? does he do?

Got this from Grange. Both me and my brother hate Solomon with a passion.

At one point Will Solomon jacked up an a three early in the shot clock and came up with nothing but air. It was a stupid shot and Solomon immediately looked to the bench and acknowledged it. Jay just said "keep moving the ball.'' About two minutes later he does the same thing but the shot goes. Early in the clock, a partially contested three that happens to go in. He doesn't look that time. The shot went in right? All is good. The guy clearly doesn't get that shots like that are what have caused him to lose minutes to Roko Ukic and AP this season.

well that's a pretty good reason to hate the guy from a basketball point of view, IMO.

I know solomon's making peanuts, but Christ did colangelo ever overestimate our backcourt players.

What a messed up year.

i don't think he overestimated our backcourt. i think it was two factors:

1 - he couldn't afford anyone more expensive.
2 - he didn't think we needed it b/c we were supposed to be a strong halfcourt team. i mean how good a player do you need to dribble up court and get the ball in to one of jo or cb? clearly this strategy didn't work, but i would be more likely to say that he overestimated our frontcourt players and the potential effectiveness of our halfcourt game than he overestimated our backcourt.

Is that all he said though, that Solomon was a lockerroom cancer? What did he see/hear?

I agree with you and add that he was probably hoping Moon would get over his anti slashing fear.

That's true. I guess it just frustrates me how off base everyone's preseason expectations were (Colangelo's included). I mean When the only two guard additions were 1. a guy out of the league, and 2. a guy with a mental hurdle who can't be relied on, and that's the game plan... ???

It's just frustrating.

I just want this season to end and i really hope we can end up with a nice draft pick.

BTW... i wasn't trying to hate on colangelo. He put all his eggs in one basket and it hasn't worked out. It happens. I'm sure he'll revise his gameplan this summer.

Thinking about Will solomon just brings out the complainer / Hater in me.

I really hope I was right in saying that I thought Benzo said it was Will who's the team cancer, because if it isn't then I just started a good ole' pissfest towards Will.

**'trane** · 02-03-2009, 11:52 AM

that's about the only pissfest that's relly worth having, imo.

Dann38 · 02-03-2009, 11:52 AM

I think B.C. over-estimated the intelligence of his players. Soloman is the dumbest of a pretty stupid bunch. I love how he looks at the refs constantly expecting calls. Who does this guy think he is?
