Dont need one and dont care about one. Blame is unproductive. It comes to two things, who's part of the problem and who's part of the solution.
Yet you spend so much time blaming the players and forgiving the coach. How judicious.
I'm not sure what thats supposed to mean. I'm looking for improvement in the players. If its Frye, Lee, Nate, Butler, Curry, etc getting those wins that would represent a foundation. If you have a 40 win team of tough hard working guys 21-25 years old your talking about adding pieces, and not assembling a core.
What a wonderfully general statement! That's what most of us thought this team had year. Too bad the young, tough players have been jerked around so much.
Ive been talking about it since December.
Been talking about what? All I know is that during the 6 game streak your tune was quite different. I guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing from week to week.
Ive been talking about it since JJ and Mo Taylor showed up too fat for aerobic exercise.
Talking about What!?!?!?
Go dig up the prediction thread. I said they would be about .500 but miss the play-offs.
If they were aas good as you predicted they would be in the playoffs. However, that is neither here nor there. The point is you thought the team would be mediocre, now that they are terrible its the players, not the coach.
As bad as the East was I didnt see anything that elevated us above the mediocrity aside from Brown perhaps.
AHA! Nothing that elevated the Knicks beyond mediocrity besides Brown's coaching! So you thought they were mediocre and that Brown might make them better. As it turn out, they were bad, and Brown made them worse! That is what I have been saying for months now. But you won't even include Brown in the mix of problems, citing his past record. Well his past record is the past. The present ain't so rosy.
I dont need to lie or hedge or save face to you. I dont really care enough of what you think of me to do so.
Then why do you keep hedging? If the players are quitters then the past few games are an anomaly unless they underwent some sort of overnight change, but it seems the overnight change was in YOU, "Now they are coming around, HOORAY!". Spare me.
ve been called by the RVs and Bonns of this site a hater since XMas time because I've been calling these guys losers and quitters for not playing Larry ball since 4 weeks into the season.
I don't remember seeing you call them quitters since then, but if you say so, fine. The fishmike I remember was quite emphatic during the six game streak stating how the team was coming together, LB had it all worked out, LB made players prove who should be playing etc.
Fishmike to oohah: "your opinion is getting more dodgy with every win" Even after the win streak you didn't go the other way for quite a few losses (It's because Marbury is out, it's because, it's because, it's because...)
Ive saying rotations dont matter, play hard. Sub patterns are an excuse play hard. Guys cry about not knowing their roles, but they dont play hard, they dont defend.
Well you're just wrong. Playing rotations do matter. Playing style does matter. What the coach does matters a lot. There are guys who have not said a word that are still up in the air about their roles, David Lee for one. Don't tell me NR doesn't play hard, Frye played plenty hard, but his minutes were less consistent than Eddie Curry's, who has only started to pay the price for his laziness.
I also said in that prediction thread that nothing would suprise me, good or bad. That who knows, if they play together maybe they win a bunch of games and see the 2nd round, but if you told me we were looking for a top pick come April that wouldnt suprise me either. Bonn? Where you are... bust out the URL
If that ain't hedging, I don't know what hedging is.
oohah
