Monaco Slumping

Unfortunately a lot of these articles seem to come off something bad happening and not when they're winning. But that's what people mean when they say silence is good. Or when Lil Wayne said real g's move in silence like lasagna. We saw in the press conference from coach Spinoulis it is dark times in Monaco. And that came FAST.

I wrote many times so far this year that Monaco's problem the past few years was finding consistency, not their talent. The talent we know what they have. The consistency not so much. But we thought we had that part figured out when they went on that 6 game win streak. They had recent convincing wins before that also against lower ranked teams, just showing them taking care of business against teams they should. Consistency at its finest. But now they're on a 3 game losing streak. They have no money. And there's rumors circulating of guys not practicing because well there's no money.

The truth in all that? Who knows. But we do know they're on a 3 game losing streak. A streak that was started by a double digit last collapse in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. They then lost again to Madrid, a good team but a team they should beat, but nothing to worry about. Now they lost a 3rd game with many external rumors circulating. What's not a rumor is Mike James restructured his contract to be able to leave after the year. Which makes sense given their financial status. But this 3rd game was vs Bologna and the need to worry is now upon us. It's not time to freak out, it's just time to be worried.

Billy Spanilli gonna get the boys going and ready for tournament time but right now it is scary hours in Monaco.
