Still got that crush on Christina, eh?

that article was written by a whiner for whiners. grow a pair and play the game.

even reggie miller liked to see williams letting his team know when they needed to do something different. or are we expecting hayward to be as quick to tears as AK?

He looks slow, fat, and out of shape. He's playing like he didn't do a damn thing over the summer.

If you saw the clip off him jumping off that cliff in the summer, the answer is probably he didn't do a damn thing. I know he was hurt and was supposed to get away from basketball, but he looks more like the Pillsbury Doughboy than the top PG in the league. I don't know if he found Jezbus or not, but it sure looks like he found a few jelly doughnuts.

I'm glad the Trib called him out for getting on Hayward. The kid's a ROOKIE! I know Deron didn't run every play correctly from Day #1.

He has a Laker attitude with a Jazz uni on. Nice!

If I may make the most humble of suggestions, possibly stop posting?

Deron Williams may be feeling the weight of being the official team captain. My impression of him is he's sort of a private guy...

I'd pretty much agree with the above statement

... not real outgoing, or real at ease with the media. Hopefully he'll evolve into the leader we need at this point.
I would like us to have a leader on that 2nd unit. From what we've seen so far, there isn't one; not good.

I think this is partially true, I think he's - I think he has his moments where he's really outgoing, and at ease with the media, and other times he's not.

I do think he needs someone to ride shot-gun, and he's missing that so far this season.

The only time I think I've seen Deron really playing the role of the cheerleader is when he's been on the sidelines, and he does it best when he's been in a suit, not in uniform. And that's pretty much only when things are going well, or at least if he sees potential to turn them around. I just don't see him as the champion of hopeless causes when he sees things are going badly.

do you have anything to contribute besides requests for people to be quiet / delete their accounts / die?

Reporter asks about the team now laughing about Gordon Hayward situation:

Williams: "What situation? What situation? I've yelled at people before. On the court. There's no situation. I've already talked to him, I already apologized. Said I [shouldn't] have yelled at him. It's going to happen. It's going to probably happen again. [Laughs]. I get upset. On the court. A lot. … Because I want to win. I told him I was in the wrong."


I don't know if the team laughs. I don't know Williams or Hayward laugh. I just know that I laugh, eh?

"It's going to probably happen again. [Laughs]."

Let's hope so, only funnier, eh? After all this talk I looked at it on film. It aint nuthin. The only thang funny about it is people writin whole articles, I figure:

Wow, a rational and reasonable point of view. How the hell did you end up here?

I've been gone for a while...looks like things here haven't changed

...I can't figure out why he's so bent out of shape! It was a safe, nice post pass, and a crisp cut to the basket that resulted in an easy two points! Maybe Deron sees the handwriting on the wall: This will be HAYWARDS team in two years...right hop?
