With the salary cap, there is going to be a lot of turnover on rosters. That means players will have to develop chemistry and some teams will take longer than others. Maybe Avery needs to take them to a fashion show.

Nice justaposition between the headline and the choice of photo.

Sure sign that the coach is gone. As a political junkie, I know the first clue to believing a story is to wait for the denials

Kind of like Chief Wiggam from the Simpsons..."move along people, nothin to see here."

What else was the coach to say.....if you have dissension among the ranks it sure doesn't need to hit the headlines and, thus, the magnifying glass.

There is nothing that brings out talk of dissention in the ranks like playing poorly. I dont think Avery can do that much damage this early. No matter how much of an a***ole he is.

OK, so .... there's no friction .... he says! So .... tells us .... what's causing all the heat and smoke that's coming out of their dressing room?

Well... Have a safe walk to the unemployment line, Coach Tippett.

Dallas will pull through... out of chaos comes order, so they say.

Bringing Avery into the dressing room has "Tippetted" the scales in Dave's demise.

stars will be fine. tippett is definitely not getting fired either.

bad movie line warning:

Ah, blow it out your **** Howard....


Movie, anyone?

Spiny is it "The Great Outdoors"?

To help the Simpsons reference, and to provide the irony, I have to guess that while this interview was be done there was a fight in the locker room right over Tippett's shoulder. Tippett: "No, there's no truth to these specious rumors." Background:"Arrrrghhhh, he bit my ear!" Tippett: "This interview's over."

bing bing bing...we have a winner

And you forgot the partners to those:
I'm not going to climb into the ring with Tolstoy: Hemingway
Hemingway was a jerk: Harold Robbins

Ah yes. I was having a hard enough time remembering what Tolstoy said.

"He's just crazy enough to do it!"

you're so wise tippett sensei

"Nice deflection by Tippett but the shot goes wide, no goal!"

I'm a stars fan and I think for this team to win, Turco needs to step up his game, big time. And next the defense, but i'm cutting them some slack, besides Zubov and Sydor(woah!), they're young and just need time to gel together
