Ouch

>>So in reality you have had your entire unit relatively healthy for the entire year.

MS - are you serious or just being facetious here?

just checking

Isiahs starting unit going into this year was

Marbury, Francis, Jefferies, Frye, Curry was it not?

besides MS, you must know it's not simply about who starts

but who finishes

(and who picks up the slack off the bench to stay close)

I would say it more about the coach, not knowing his players strengths and coaching through an agenda and without any real knowledge of how to win games.

Jefferies over Balkman
Frye over Lee
Starting Jerome James

Not using Nate as a spot of shooter, Not getting Frye involved in the offense, getting crawford to play with some control, practicing doubling curry in practice something cato said they didn't do. Not starting Francis with Marbury, using Jefferies on pf's instead.

Isiah has done an awful job as a head coach, as if its some unreal job to unify a team after you buy out two players, take another out of a rotation and then use every excuse in the book instead of stating the obvious.....

He is a terrible ****ing coach and underachieves with more talent. It was evident in Indy getting knocked out of the playoffs every single season and its evident in ny. He constructed this awful mismatched group of talent.

They are never prepared to play, they don't compete till its too late, they are sloppy, they don't defend, and don't execute the little things.

Actually the injuries would have not mattered if Isiah helped establish an identity of the players instead of this me against the world everyone is against us, the officials, the league, the coaches....

Eddy Curry isn't an All-Star because he sucks as an all around player not because of Isiah, its really a shame watching Nate embarrass the organization every five minutes....

This team should have been a much better even with the ijuries

injuries matter

sheesh

if you don't think so, you don't understand the fragile balance and rhythm of the game to start with

Bonn - cmon doc, since when was being down to eight guys considered "average"?

average?

did you say "average"?

whole lotta averagin' goin' on

Lee - average player who happens to be an outstanding rebounder and even better passer

Jamal - average player, and fearless in the clutch (whether he makes the shot or not, he's STILL fearless and that counts for something in my book)

Quentin - average player, but useta hang out with Brandy who was above-average

Marbury - average player with a suspicious demeanor and below-average maedia skills who still managed to get him a tee vee show, but hey Magic Johnnson was below-average as a host and hung in for a few weeks on the air so what,me worry?

James - average player with plantar - which hurts in above-average spikes of pain that shoot through your heel like a nail is being driven in it with each step.

Lee is nothing but average he is one of the better athletes at his size in the entire league, and has an iq through the roof on the court not to mention there might not be a better finisher with either hand in all of basetball......

turnover prone 40% shooters are average you got that right

or not?

MS - on the contray homeslice... I'm your absolute best buddy when it comes to a dialogue... don't hate because I challenge you to think about, or explain, what you write.

and don't get frustrated when you paint yourself in a corner - it wasn't me. I just axed an innocent question.

no need to take it anyplace personal dude

if it's too difficult to converse we can go our separate ways without any difficlty, name-calling or otherwise irrelevant snippy-ness
