How would these “sources” know about a private conversation between the coach and his employee.

Seen this with Kawakami in the past – drama for sake of drama.

Nellie will surpass Wilkens in wins but like most of said he NEVER won a championship. Yes Pro Nellie guys Nellie is a good coach compared to PJ and others but if that’s the case how do you compare Nellie to Phil Jackson, Riley, and even Doc Rivers?

If Nellie is soo good why didn’t the Celtics org. ever consider Nellie coaching them 5 year or so ago when the Celtics were struggling?

Nellie ball is and I will admit entertaining at most, only when the shots are going in. But he has no half court offense at all and does not preach defense.

I agree 100% with #18. Offense entertains but DEFENSE WINS GAMES.

Nellie crossed his line. When he keeps doing things like this, the more I tend to give Mark Cuban some consideration about his misgivings with the Man.

Nellie, if you are reading this, your job is to coach and develop the team and not to be involved with politics.

Crawford contributed a lot and he gets this type of treatment in return? Perhaps the latest about Monta Ellis actions have justifications afterall.

Nellie, You broke the RUN TMC, You broke the Sprewell, CWebb tandem, you broke the BDiddy era, now you are going to break this team again?

It seems to me every team Nellie touched became The most disfunctional but talented team in the NBA and that includes Dallas.

Here’s your top 7 minutes guys for this year:

Jackson 31 next month
Maggette 29, 30 at season start
Crawford 29 in 2 weeks
Turiaf 26
Azubuike 25, 26 in December
Watson 25 next month
Biedrins 22 now

AVERAGE: 27 now, effing 28/29 before Nellie’s gone!

Kurz 24
Davidson 24
Belinelli 23 in 2 weeks
Morrow 24 before next season

The only serious lotto talent kids are Randolph, Wright, and Biedirns, and it’s been impossible to get a straight play of either of them.
When they have hit the floor, they’ve been great. Nellie tried a trade showcase of Wright, he was great, now he’s 100% healthy and being told to stay away?!

Portland and OKC are the league’s true young teams, Memphis too.
We’re old, tired, and played.

This franchise is total effing bulls__t.
