Duhon, Harrington, and Lee, our supposed 3 best players (which is why I mention them), are showing why despite their individual talents, they hurt you more than they help you. I'm sick of them. Including Lee's double doubles. Honestly, all that does is mask increasingly poor play from him.

Douglas, Chandler (even though I'm hard on him and with good reason), and Gallo are clearly the only three players who deserve to remain. Chandler, though, needs a kick in his ass still. Too many dumb mistakes and too many poor shots taken.

Jeffries and Curry are ours next year by default not by choice. Hill will also remain but jeez someone beat this guy up already and get his ass in gear.

The rest can pack their bags. No two ways about it.

Notice we played our best not just last night but at other times so far this already finished season... when Lee, Harrington, and Duhon were SITTING ON THE BENCH cheerleading. I don't think that's an anomaly.

Meanwhile, our HOTTEST shooter, TD, is outside, both hands up, wide open.

Harrington proceeds to try a fancy pass to Jefferies, turnover.

Harrington is a really good role player, and is trying to do too much.

I'll take that over Duhon.

Coach needs to say thanks for the effort, just slow it down, don't try to do too much.

Agree though about your observation, and have noticed many of our runs have featured Lee cheerleading from the bench.

Odd place for a Ten Million Dollar Man to be, though.

I vividly remember that play. Not only were his hands wide open, he was asking for the ball- I think he flicked them to catch Harrington's attention.

This kind of thing has also been done to Gallinari.

Guys have to get the ball to the hot or dependable shooter when he is open. Simple as that. Douglas was in a zone yesterday, and there was a good chance he would have made that shot.

But Harrington doesn't have the kind of skill to make that kind of play. He's limited.

To some degree- MDA needs to recognize their limitations, and perhaps draw up some plays that they have to execute.

You have to have the defense respecting the outside shooters. If they play off of them, and the shooters can't make them pay for it, then we get down by 30. Which is what has been happening.

I agree on almost all points....

IMO....

Lee has been awful this year --- his defense in particular has been as poor as anyone in the league (particularly considering he's an athletic player who should have the ability to defend). His offense has been selfish.

Duhon -- is just awful right now. He is the most unatletic point in the NBA who combines that with crappy shot selection, turnovers and horrid defense. What a combination.

Harrington is unwatchable....I fast forward every second he's on the court. I never thought someone could replicate Jamal Crawford's negative impact on a game but AL has done it.

Jefferies -- oh god. He is a great pre-season and practice player --- at games (we all know he really sucks).

And it still was. Al is a slight downgrade, in terms of destructiveness.

??? How was Crawful destructive? i'm not aware that he has a reputation for being destructive, did I miss something?
