I'm riding with Monty. frick the haters.


During a 4th(?) quarter stoppage, they played a pre-recorded "Thanks for everything, New Orleans" type of message from Monty and the place went nuts. If Mike Krzyzewski and Jerry Colangelo think highly of Monty, that's good enough for me.

I really hope he can get a handle on the strategy and rotations (or hire an assistant who can), because he certainly has some strengths.

quote:

Not long after New Orleans’ 108-103 win over San Antonio that extended the season Wednesday, fifth-year head coach Monty Williams divided his 14 players in the Pelicans’ locker room into two groups, based on whether they’d ever been to the NBA playoffs. The seven Pelicans without a postseason appearance were then told to meet their seven experienced teammates on the other side of the room, a symbolic gesture that ignited what was already a raucous celebration.

“He put all the guys who’ve been in the playoffs on one side, and the guys who haven’t on the other side, and then we welcomed them in,” explained guard Norris Cole, a two-time NBA champion with Miami. “We welcomed them to the playoffs. It was fun. It was a brotherhood moment that we had. It was special.”

“(Williams) said (to the first-timers), ‘Come on over,’ ” said guard Jrue Holiday, a playoff veteran with Philadelphia. “It’s definitely a team atmosphere. We all made it to the playoffs together.”
