A week or two ago, I heard Locke point it out and Ron agree with him. In the context he could've passed right over it, and Ron could've remained silent. That they chose to mention and elaborate was...peculiar. It felt to me like they used the little on court incident as an avenue to let the audience peak into the inner workings without betraying trust or calling it out directly.
Donovan has not played well recently but I'm not gonna dwell on it. It's easy to forget how young he still is, how inexperienced he still is, how hard his role as the primary scorer is AND how hard adjusting to having two other scorers like Bogey and Mike on the team must be. He's got a lot on his plate.
Saw it too. Looked like they were just telling each other what they were seeing on that play. Both looked frustrated. I wouldn't read much more into it tbh. If we start trying to look into things to fit a theory it's going to be a rabbit hole.
Honestly the fact that DM and Rudy were talking after that play is more likely a sign that DM and Rudy are just fine with each other.
Idk about anyone else but if I'm having issues with a coworker I don't want to talk to them lol.
I doubt DM and Rudy have any problems with each other. Both are probably just very frustrated losing games because both are competitive.

I hope @JazzAvenues has had a nice vacation. And I hope it's over.

Here’s something I posted a month ago. It’s not necessarily a huge issue, but I believe it’s a real thing, and I believe that Rudy is aware of it, and I think Donovan is completely ignorant to it.
In a situation where Donovan’s team is “down and out,” I believe Donovan’s view is that if he’s the superstar his media trail has led him to believe, then it’s his responsibility to single-handedly will his team back (by scoring). Oneye points to NY but I think the bigger problem is that he appears to have a superstar perspective. For instance, he’s tweeted a lot of positive Carmelo junk, and the only thing more baffling than Carmelo’s lack of self-awareness is the lack of insight Carmelo fans have that his heroics are worthless and he could be better if he bought in to a team game.
tl;dr Donovan needs to choose whether he would like having a really cool brand or if he wants to win. It’s not exactly a false dichotomy, but my impression is that within his mind is the things that would contribute to winning would go contrary to what he feels he needs to do to “put the team on his back” — something which ironically goes against his goal, though he can’t quite see it.

Bench anyone that shoots a floater and misses it. Point blank.

It's quite interesting in terms of that some of you have seen/heard things about players discussing or disagreeing with what they've seen on the court. What kind of interests me mellow is, the one where you heard David and Boone speak about this potential 'issue' and when it was, if you can remember? Because I would certainly like to hear what they had to say about it, and in what type of way.
Then again, pointing towards Handlogten's post, I agree that having passion and challenging each other in a healthy way on the court is a healthy thing. And maybe we shouldn't read too much into it, like we shouldn't read to much into altercations in practice when they're not a big deal really, like between Dante and Oni, or coaches butting heads.

We’re paying $30+ million for a bench guy? We traded a bunch of assets for Conley. And some of you are suggesting we move him to the bench?
just how bad do you guys think we are? Calm down. Yes, he’s sucked this year. Yes, I question the move. But no way can you move him to the bench. No way.
honestly, if that’s how bad things are, then we might be better off tanking.

I remember Don's games against the Grizz earlier, and the Pelicans, which he had 29/9/5, and 37/7/5 respectively.
Those are star/superstar numbers. He rebounded, got his team in rhythm too. Got his amount of shots, but was still able to play make for others. It just seems like a tough task for him to do that right now. Just shows you how much work that is for people like Harden(ugh), Lebron etc, who do it night in night out. Also tells me, at 23, he doesn't have the capacity to do that yet on a consistent basis, and he might not have it for maybe 2 more years until he turns 25.
