He has never seen Steph play this badly.

He thinks they are all caught up in trying to impress LB that they are thinking and not playing and not having fun.

He said Steph is a leader who leads by example.

SAS said they scarred Steph's reputation for getting in guys faces and arguing and giving guys problems. So now he doesn�t do it, and he is being maligned for not doing that.

He thinks this team is better than last year. They were never out of the games. But they have been comatose at home these last 2 games.

You have to have a 9 or 10 man rotation, its hard to find a rhythm with all of the rotation issues.


He said he finds it amazing that these high school guys are so poorly coached. (Eddy Curry)

They have a problem getting him the ball. You have to start Curry on the one side

Frye has been lethal from the perimeter.

He believes the Knicks will come out of their funk. They have been playing too well this season not to. He sees them and talks with them and they are upset and fired up.

Can you elaborate on what he meant by this?

one thing I've noticed about Steph is he's really right side oriented. He penetrates down the right side of the lane with his right hand and shoots righty. And while doing so he's mostly looking to the right side for a dump off or kick out.

Since Nazr really had no moves either way it was just as well to post him on the low right blocks and with good effect Steph could dump off to himoff penetrations. when he fed the left it was usually the high left to Kurt from the foul line or above off a pick and roll.

But since Eddy is righty and likes to roll right they post him up on the lower left blocks, and Steph just has a hard time finding him down there. When steph isn't ball handling we'll see him hanging out on the wings, which should give him better angles to feed the interior, but it's out of his comfort zone and he doesn't penetrate as well from there so his feeds are pretty much forced and telegraphed lobs or awkward low hard to handle bounce passes.

It was the same with Sweets.

They either need to teach Eddy how to operate from the right side or get a PG who can feed the deep left, and the interior as a whole.
