any player in the nba can win if they are in the right situation.

there are talented players on this team but isiah has not put them in the right situation to succeed b/c he's not very good in team building (complimentary parts, better decision making players, etc.). so we are put in the position of hope that these talented players become better all around players and can mesh and win.

yes, it's easy to criticize curry, zach, our backcourt, etc b/c they don't play defense and seem to only care about scoring. but i think many of the players on this team are put in positions where they shouldn't be at this point in their careers, thus the constant need for "gelling" and "patience". i mean over 1/2 the teams in the league make the playoffs and this team has a big problem achieving that goal despite spending alot of money for it's players. that's pretty bad imho.

now this is a good post.

asking eddy to not be the focus of the offense and become a cutter and scrapper is completely changing his role. isn't the complaint that there is too much change as it is? the team spent the entire 06/07 season on eddy...this would really make last season kind of seem like there was no long range plan.

I don't think the complaint is too much change unless we are talking about 40-odd starting lineups.

Back to Randolph, this guy is showing me more with every pre-season game. He is truly skilled and deserves to be the number one option in the front court. Eddy should have to adjust to him more than the re erse.

Scrapping and rebounding should help keep Curry on the floor. There is less of a chance he lowers his shoulder and picks up those dumb offensive fouls.

oohah
