Don Nelson Uses Flamethrower To Light Fire Under Andris Biedrins
SportingNews
Warriors coach Don Nelson did not have nice things to say about center Andris Biedrins on Wednesday. This, after he blasted Biedrins on Tuesday.
Nelson clearly is fed up with Biedrins, who is averaging 5.1 points and 7.9 rebounds in 23 minutes. Worse, Biedrins—a notoriously bad free-throw shooter—is 3-for-23 (not a typo) from the line for the season.
A few choice cuts from Nellie, per the San Jose Mercury News:
“I told him today that if I were him, I would be wanting to shoot free throws so I’m not the all-time worst free-throw shooter in the history of the NBA. If he could get to the free-throw line and even make five or six out of 10, at least it would be an improvement. I would be looking to get fouled, and I think he’s looking not to get fouled.” …
“He doesn’t really have an inside game that you could go to. When I’ve tried to go to (a screen-and-roll) to get his confidence up, he hasn’t delivered. His shot’s not there. There’s a way to be involved in a screen-and-roll, and there’s a way to hide and not be involved. I think he chooses to hide at this point. We’re trying to demand that he get the ball and do things with it and be aggressive.” …
“I’ve bent over backwards with Goose trying to be positive. Whatever he’s going through, he’s not the same player this year as the last couple — or the same player that got him the big contract. Whatever that is, he’s got to get the passion back. I can’t do that.”

jefferson for biedrins. he can have a new PF
As far as I know, Popavitch has never coached Biedrins.
He got paid and doesn't give a shif anymore
typical nellie ragging on his players. He wears out his welcome everywhere he goes, that' why he keeps getting fired.
That is piss poor pathetic to have a free throw % like that. I'd ask to not play until I can shoot free throws if I were Biedrens.
That's not fair Mexican.
Pop's a SENILE, ugly drunk; he aint a fatty...
he still riding high from chodebloading his former boss
I think he's just tired of playing for a loser. I can see it being frustrating knowing your team will be year in and year out.
Warriors should trade Biedrins. Bad player whose presence delays the development of the real talent they have.
Misleading le. There was no flamethrower involved.
Based on the le I thought it was an article from The Onion.
In a heartbeat.
