Clippers have not progressed at all since getting there. The look like the same team coached by Vinny del negro

He definitely can play with some arrogance (although he seemed like a scared freshman thrown onto the varsity team with us). I don't get unprofessional from him at all though.

They're a solid team but they are pretenders when it comes to getting to the finals. This may be the understatement of the year, but they are too soft.

The way he is acting right now is unprofessional. I'm not saying he is an unprofessional athlete on the court. It doesn't really matter what line of work you are in. Talking s*** about your previous employer on the way out isn't a good look. This is hardly the first time he's bashed Monty's system since leaving.

Again, they are in the public eye, so I appreciate him for shooting straight. My selfish opinion is I'm glad that he's saying what many of us have thought for years. Monty does appear to micromanage to an unrealistic extent with no results to show for it.

He's not doing himself any favors having quotes like these pop up moving forward with future teams not named the Clippers.

I dont get it either. He's hardly earned the right to act like this. I can somewhat understand it with guys that have done something. He literally has a handfull of good games a year but thinks he's been misused. I mean he probably was misused but take some responsibility for how it went down as well

What has Doc Rivers done? Everyone says he is one the best coaches in the NBA because of what? Is Erik Spoelstra a god then? Clippers are the same team as when he arrived.. They just added a bunch of more players. It is a joke.

So one quote that may or may not be a shot at Monty makes him unprofessional?

He should enjoy his unstructured team. We see how many first round exits that's gotten them in the past.

His FT % has gone back to "HOW!?" levels now that he doesn't have the Pelibeak to line up his free trips.

I've seen CP3 yell at and ride his own teammates plenty of times. Of course AR is going to get different treatment because no one is going to piss off daddy's boy.
