Law Of The Quad said:
Billy took the high road and de-escalated the Elko comment, he has long told fans to not be toxic toward players.
But was the interpretation and explanation of the comment as not really intended toward him helpful?
I am not sure that is an honest assessment and that to me is the pool of the problem.
Overlooking the insult is admirable but rebranding it as something else not so much.
There are stories that are true and stories we wish were true, and it seems that coach and the interpretation, as well as the evaluation of some specific performances are in the wish it was true category.
The rest of the media and the zoo did the truth telling for him.
I don't think it's in him. I have heard him turn numerous close losses into victories in the space of an interview using nothing but a few ifs and buts
