"The energy has been sucked out of our organization and our fan base"

"There are a number of ways we can go," Richardson said. "We aren't closing the door on anything."

"I own the team. I have a responsibility to give the people here the best chance to win. I believed hiring George was the best thing to do," Richardson said. "He came in and it didn't work out. We must go forward."

"When you have a season like we just had, it sucks the energy out of the coaches, fans and players. Starting [Monday], we're going to be pumping the energy back into the team."

----------------------------------------------------------

These quotes were said, the day of firing George Seifert...

Wonder what the big cat is thinking nowadays??? Please share your modern day "quotes"

I wouldn't be surprised if he dusted off that old "energy has been sucked out" speech and read it again.

He might even throw in something about someone named MoFo, and chrome on a trailer hitch just to see if anyone is paying attention.

"When we couldn't win back to back winning seasons, I decided to go with the youth movement." Interpretation: When I knew we weren't going to the playoffs with the veterans last year I decided to blow up the team, and go cheap to line my pockets.

"No one thought we would be this bad." Interpretation: We better tell the fans something after this crap. We really gutted this team.

"We had to raise prices because of increased utilities." Interpretation: Doesn't really matter the reason. We can do what we want because we got them by the short hairs. Lets tell them it is utilities. They don't know any better.

"We are still committed to winning" Interpretation: Yeah we want to win as long as we make plenty of money along the way. Too bad the youth movement failed. we will have to spend more to keep the core players so the fans won't revolt. And we won't get to raise prices much this year. And lets win a few games this year so we don't get stuck with the first pick or that rookie salary cap better happen. Because it is all about the money.

The bolded quote is the quote that I just cannot shake. Excuse my french, but what the f*ck did he expect?! This team is horrible, and there was plenty of us who could see it from the beginning. Hopefully, he rights the ship, but I still dont like how he approached this season. Basically, willing to write off a season to please his fellow owners. That's ridiculous to me

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
