Was this forum right?

Some of the members of this thread predicted CJ miles would cost Sloan his job. Were they right?
Did Sloan keep playing such a bad player to please Williams, his star guard?

Deron wanting to keep his 'friends' on the team was a noob move. I understand you want good relationships with your teammates but this is a business. Miles acts like a twelve year old anyway, playing Xbox all the time.

Good point. This forum was spooky in what some were saying in that please end the CJ experiment post. If true, Sloan should have quit. Just hard to believe.

pick one.. CJ or Wesley

Mental toughness is so underrated in this league.

"I didn't cost Sloan his job doo's!" CJ miles.

Yeah.. because that's the definition of immaturity - interactive entertainment during your down time. Please refrain from making such moranic statements in the future. Thanks.

Says the guy who swiped an AVGN quote and inserted it into this forum.

Anyway, Miles has said, convincingly in my mind, that he credits Sloan for most of his improvement as a player. I doubt Miles disposition contributing to Sloan's departure. His lack of desire to rebound, however...

Oh, by the way, I wasn't saying video games are bad or a sign of immaturity. I just threw out an excuse for why Miles sucks so hard. Less time holding the Xbox controller and more time holding the basketball might lead to a better career. Hell, I can't say anything about video games because I absolutely loved my Xbox 360 when I had one. I miss it about as much as the Jazz miss the Stockton/Malone era, and will be getting one again soon. In fact, you should add me on Xbox LIVE if you've got it (x TDUBBZ x is the gamertag).

As I think about it, why would such a defensive coach play someone like Miles? I'm thinking the jazz fans got ripped off by a premadona and a coach that wouldn't stand up to him-

No, moranic is correct.

Sloan letting CJ get away with his horrid shot selection the first 25 games of the season was a glaring indication that the coach was suffering from burn-out.
