How about it was Eddy Curry's fault? The guy only drew a flagrant when we were up 3 and killed all our momentum....

Plenty of blame to go around. The truth is, the guys played better than most of us expected, but were unable to pull out a win. They needed to be perfect to beat the Celtics. 98% of us had this as a loss in GamePicker.

So....no matter how you wanna save face for the golden boy...this is david lee's fault....**** if he had 50pts and 100rebounds.

Not to mention, Hughes was terrible today offensively. He took some really stupid shots per usual.

you gonna blame Eddy for a play that happened with 7 minutes in the fourth in a game that went to overtime???? Hughes had an outstanding game I dunno what game you were watching today.

we let that gimp garnett get open for that shot.. guy has been bricking all day..

duhon played 46 minutes.. why?

nice game by big Al..

Gallo played a solid game, too bad mike didn't go offense/ defense with he and wilson.. really.. why not?

great game for lee and nate offensively..

we played well, moved the ball, passed the ball and defended...

tough, tough loss...

By the way, we didn't sign Iverson because Walsh wants our young guys to develop....anyone want to check to see how many minutes Douglas and Gallo played?

Cant really fault them with going with their vets today, this game was kinda important, dont worry by January both of those players will be starting and hill should/will be the first player off the bench.

It isn't just today though, Douglas didn't play much against the Nets either if I remember correctly.

I have no problem with trying to win games, which is exactly why I think we should have gotten Iverson. It just pisses me off that we don't play the young guys and try to win with inferior talent.

if they passed on Iverson saying the reason was so they could develop the youth, then at least play the youth & be consistent with that... it wouldn't be so frustrating if they at least practiced what they preached.

Exactly.

Pick a direction and stick with it. If you want to develop your youth, then play the young guys, who are probably talented enough to win the same amount of games we are winning right now either way.

If you want to play vets, then it would have made a lot more sense to bring in Iverson and give ourselves a better shot at being competitive.

Don't fall for Donnnie's BS. Iverson has served his purpose: The threat of signing him has inspired the players to play closer to their potential. They won two games and were quite competitive, and almost stole this one from a better team.

believe me, i know that whole explanation of his was BS from the very beginning... still doesn't make it any less frustrating.

I would not care if we traded Chandler to move one of our toxic contracts.

Include Chandler with Curry and Mobley for TMAC.

I said, why not go offense/ defense with chandler and gallo? gallo spreads the floor.. wilson at times can be a horrible decision maker..

Thank god we didn't get Iverson and decided to play the young guys instead...

Well no one is saying Harrington should step out on KG if Lee is on him. I do think Harrington should have started running earlier towards Garnett once the ball was clearly going to him and he was by himself.

I'm sorry, but if I see Kevin Garnett by himself, I run and cover him and can live with Eddie House beating me. But leaving Kevin Garnett wide open is retarded.

And the golden boy had 22 points on 7 for 12 shooting. He kept us in the game and was huge for us. You want to blame guys for this loss, blame Hughes (2 for 11 and some awful decision making) and Curry for his flagrant when we are up 3 with 5 minutes left.

if David was covering KG then Harrington is doing his job....Harrington did run out but he had to run from an area that he had locked down....anyway you wanna spin it....this is davids fault.....

Eddy Curry excepts blame for the loss......respect.

David Lee deflected the play back to what he thought Pierce would do....fail!!!!

Eny, looks like we just disagree on this one. I do blame Lee, but I also expect his teammates to help out and not leave one of the best big men to ever play the game wide open.

I think both of them are at fault for that.

I mean honestly though, we shouldn't be blaming Lee or Harrington because both of them had solid games. Unfortunately, we were left with that awful last possession and that is why we keep talking about it.

Don't you think Danphoney would have him in the game at crunch time if he thought he was ready?
