LMAO!!! You are right, I put some blame on Al Harrington for not playing team defense and that definitely means I don't know the game of basketball.

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

I like D'Antoni a lot but I have no clue what he is trying to accomplish sometimes.

Often, he doesn't play Gallo during most of crunch time and then he brings him in on the last play to spread the floor.

I have a better idea, why not use one of our best weapons during the 4th quarter instead of falling behind and trying to come back every game? I think D'Antoni is trying to protect the kid but honestly, a few more wins would help this franchise a ton right now.

s3231 keeps saying Harrington should have slid over but he would have to be Carl Lewis to pick up KG....David Lee had no business where he was....that can't be explained....can't say that he was trying stop pierce.

also in the post game interview Lee mentions they had a foul to give suggesting again he is deflecting the responsibility of guarding his man by saying the guy guarding pierce should have fouled....

yeah Curry admitted it was his fault...I don't think so but he is a man and he excepted it....fine.

D'antoni said they wanted to foul pierce....so that was on the dude that was guarding Pierce...fine.

Harrington should have left his assignment and ran 30ft to cover KG....fine.

but David Lee should have said he lost his man...and accepted some blame...he didn't. he absolutely didn't

Yeah because Lee is not one to take responsibility...

We need to come out and play better, myself included, because I don't want to go through this again.

Eddy Curry said it was him...he took that blame. Now I think Eddy is the biggest ***** ever...but I am willing to give guys a chance to prove themselves again. Eddy said you know what...I apologize to the team, coaches, and fans for the loss and like You said he was taken out with 5 minutes left and never came back.

Lee knew KG was his man....he should have said that was his man and he takes the blame.....no he deflects and says "we need to come out and play better, myself included..." No....he needs to say this is my team....this is the place i want to rape for 10 million a year over 6 seasons....this is my team....KG is my man..he was wide open...that was my fault!!!!

if you don't see that and wanna defend Lee then you are just a lost soul.

I have repeatedly said that I place some blame on Lee on that last play. Yet, you guys keep saying that I'm defending my "golden boy." I'm not the one putting words in anyone's mouth here.

The only thing I said is that it is wrong to blame the game on Lee when he actually had a good game for us. And I also said Harrington had a strong overall game.

But whatever, I'm not going to waste anymore time talking about stupid things like this. We lost because of a lot of reasons and neither Lee nor Harrington were among the main reasons why we lost this game.

I don't think it is right to call Lee out for not taking responsibility on that last play when he has done so all season. That is all I'm saying, but if you guys want to believe that, then go ahead.

I'm jacked up cuz you are saying Harrington should have rotated from 30ft away...cuz you want you guys to be smart enough to know that. Im jacked up that the basic point of defense is knowing where your man is. Where was David's man? That's my beef......all the other stuff you are saying in defense of yes...the golden boy.....is bull**** point blank.

I call him the golden boy cuz he gets a pass cuz he had a good game. This is his fault. Not the building maintenance for making it too cold in the arena. Or the fact kg stayed at a holiday express.

Fact is.....who is David guarding? End of story for me.
