Steve Kelley Could Have Warned Us...

instead of kissing Bob Weiss' ass, and waxing poetic about the bad old days.

A longtime NBA figure, Weiss knows how to rebound

...
"By choosing Weiss, the Sonics took the safe, less adventurous path. Losing McMillan, former associate head coach Dwane Casey and former assistant Dean Demopoulos cost the team years of experience and countless man-hours of preparation.
It remains to be seen whether Weiss and his staff can be as well prepared as their predecessors. Weiss, who is an amateur magician, will need all of his magical powers to keep the team in the thick of a Western Conference that will be even more competitive than last season.

The Sonics gave him this last chance because he has been an assistant here for 11 years, and they want to maintain continuity. And because the players, especially re-signed All-Star Ray Allen, championed his promotion."
...

Hmmm, Not really brow beating Wally Walker over hiring Bob Weiss there, is he.
Nope, not like here:

The Sonics' real problem is Wally Walker

...
"All of the questions today should be about Wally Walker.
Why did Walker hire Weiss in the first place? What did he expect?
Did Walker, knowing Weiss' coaching history, really believe Weiss could maintain the surprising momentum established last season by then-coach Nate McMillan?
Did Walker think that Weiss, who never, ever raised his voice in practice in his 11 years as a Sonics assistant, had the clout to make Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis play the kind of grinding defense McMillan pushed them to play last season?
Did Walker think Weiss could motivate phlegmatic forward Vlade Radmanovic?
Was Walker the only man on the planet who truly thought the Sonics could win with Weiss as their coach?
And why wasn't Walker available to answer some of these questions on Tuesday?"

Hey Steve, now you are sporting some tough questions that maybe you could have asked last July. What the heck, you can still be a buddy to Bob, and still go off about Wally Walker. All good, for Steve.

I'm not going to say if I agree with you now or back then, that's not the point I'm making, it's about you Steve. Did the questions just come to mind this past week, or did you have them back in July. Did you not see this coming in July, or are you being a jerk?
Well, "No one should be surprised that he failed." you said last Wednesday in the same wally bashing story.
So, I guess you are just taking some shots at Wally. Maybe Wally should take some shots, but you didn't have much to say about Bob, or Wally, back in July.
