Nico End of Season Press Conference:

[hakeemfaan]

He's 100% using the injuries as a shield for all blame. It was expected truthfully.

At some point though, that well runs dry fast. He keeps pointing to next year being THE year. If the team falls flat out the gate, I can imagine a quick change.

The thing is he wants credit for 2.5 qtrs against a non playoff team. Yet with Luka as the lead dog we won actual 7 game playoff series where once we went to the WCF and later to a Finals. It’s like Luka gets no credit for that grind when both the quality of completion and nerves and physicality are all raised significantly.    If GMs were just focused on one ultimate series then Giannis, Tatum and Jaylen should have been traded before they got a chance to win a title.
