the dude was AWFUL last night.. Ball stopper is an understatement. The sad part is, we don't have anyone to replace him. Bender? LOL. No. We might be stuck with him, and unfortunately I think we are going to be as good as he will be... which sucks.. cuz I really love this team now

I would rather give Bill Walker Al's minutes. At least with Bill we can see if he's even semi-decent and bring him back next year. Al has no chance at coming back and just destroys the offense when he's in the game.

If there was one player to point to for why we lost the game it could be Al. He was terrible last night. But that's Al. Great one game, terrible the next. In the words of a wise drunk man, "Al Harrington thinks he's a superstar. He's not."

Well, 28 more games of this and we're done.

Would have been very nice to dump Al Harrington but I guess teams just didn't want him without extra compensation. Given only 28 games left there was no reason to give anyone compensation to take Al Harrington.

Just limit the guy's minutes.

i would have liked to send al off at the trade deadline for a draft pick and whatever else to make the deal work. we are not going to resign al so we could have re-couped one of the draft picks we sent to the rockets.

we're short on bigs as it is... Al is our only real scorer off the bench so as much as u may dislike his game, he can be effective playing that role... last nite he was obviously a train wreck but he has shown other nights when he's carried this team in crunchtime more than once.

right now our main problem is our lack of a shotblocking big... Bender is not a guy u can rely on to be ur backup C, that's just insane... we need to pick someone up off waivers or in the D-Leagues that can come in & plug the lane & provide some defense cuz right now we're not getting any from any of our bigs.

Harrington is just like chandler and gallo, INCONSISTENT, Chandler is getting better but gallo and harrington can give you a great game then a horrible game. But at the end of this season he can be someone else's problem

Bender plays NO D. I dont see him back next yr to be honest. Curry needs to get traded (think sergio running the ball up. curry cant get down
the court in time)

Al is ok. He and Eddy are the only holdovers from the coaches doghouse and he is too tall and too talented not to play.

he'll be gone in 28 games anyway... Curry will be the only leftover headache for MDA to deal with... i'm guessing they'll demand that he comes into training camp in shape next Fall & hope to showcase him for a possible deal in the 1st half of next season, unless of course we land our main prizes this summer in which case he'll probably end up getting a buyout soon after.

Al Harrington is gone after this season. The end.

A major problem was Curry 4 seasons ago.

Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

I like Al, but he's definitely become a convenient target this year because of his shot selection and decision making.

I really wish he could come back and be on a more talented and structured squad.

I can't stand his chucking and his out-of-control romps into the lane.

Again, I think the blame falls on Donnie Walsh. When the Knicks were playing well the Bulls were really hot for harrington. The Knicks were being talked about as a playoff team and The Bulls were in a bad way. He should have taken the Thomas deal instread we are stuck watching this chump ruin every set on a nightly basis.

We are again the joke of the league Donnie needs to explain himself.

We're in the rebuilding process. Donnie doesn't owe anyone an explanation. He already explained it. The rest of the NBA thinks Walsh is absolutely doing the right thing and some are afraid he's going to get it done here.

Harrington? He's gone in a couple of months most likely. The season is over what does it matter what they do these final games in terms of W/L record. Only 4 or 5 of these guys will be here next year anyway and that might be generous.

All we want to see is the younger players play and we're getting some of that. I want to see Douglas get back minutes though.

Sergio, Walker, Gallo, Chandler, Lee, Douglas

They're the only ones who truly have a shot at returning next season. Only one not playing is Douglas (inexcusable).

The final games are about those guys...and I guess for TMac and House to audition for Donnie and other teams in the meantime.

I think Als legs cant keep up with his mind and upper body. Didja watch some of his moves in the lane, he trys to spin but his legs wont cooperate and he falls down, looks pityful.
