Way to slink outta there. Makes Dwight Howard sort of look like a standup guy.
 
OK, here some more from Messina..

This link goes to Messina's official blog on sports.ru. There are some great articles of him, every article has English translations so no need for google translate.


Here are some of them I found interesting and very good reads.

About defense and offense.. Offense or defense? No need to choose one

About new rosters and teams.. Starting from scratch

About NBA.. Some remarks on NBA basketball

About basics of Defense.. Some defensive basics

After beating Minnesota and losing against Spurs by two points.. Getting back to “European” roles

About his experience with LA, short but very interesting and you can understand what his role was in LA.. The new beginning

About Kobe.. The hero you can’t avoid talking about

There are many more but they are older and related to CSKA and other stuff etc...



And this is from Euroleague official page, a Q&A interview with fans.. Ettore Messina, CSKA Moscow



With Pop :cool:

I wish I had time to read this now.

Rep this man
 
JVG would be a fantastic hire. Not sure why these guys would ever leave the cushy booth job, though. And if Indy really does fire Frank Vogel, you have to give him a serious look. There's talent there, sure, but he's gotten a lot of wins out of that squad these last two seasons.

The 16-15 skid doesn't scare me much. That's a volatile locker room, tough personalities to manage.

When looking at it from the flip-side, it does seem like a coach's job to manage those personalities, does it not? Maybe he's not doing the best job
 
carrying Biedrens all season long only to dump him in the last month

So you would have preferred we cut Biendris earlier in the season. What specifically would that have accomplished? We would have still had to pay his salary and would have had to sign another scrub backup center.

Although it sounds like the real locker room cancer has been Stephenson. Hibbert spoke out about "selfish players," which everyone knows was a swipe at Stephenson. And I believe Hill got into it with Lance. If this were the Jazz organization, Stephenson would have been traded. Although maybe it unfolds like it did with Sloan: Vogel is gone and THEN they realize it's a player problem.
