at 5-33 everyone looks like crap.
This thread demonstrates the OP agenda. Some see a player develop as a good thing. He sees it as an indictment of the coaching staff.
Some see it as "he has worked hard and moved up to a skill level to be given an opportunity"!
Lin was "held back" but after two years in and out of NBA two things needed to happen, he needed an opportunity and worked damn hard to sieze the moment. One could say he was held back, another could say MDA gave him the opportunity!
How was he held back BTW? What great knowledge does hindisight king f500 have that knew this kid was being kept down?
I see the logical progression and it was so stated that all players are given a chance and if those that don't get it are not playing well, there will be changes.
Its logical and good lockerroom management to let the contract guys and vets get their chance. They are NBA players and earned that money and opportunity. After less than 40 games some are being exiled. Thats freaking awesome in my book.
To do otherwise is you can lose your lockerroom quickly. There are no reports of the team turning away from Fish. They might have rejected the Triangle, but some have their own careers to think about. Its not "fair" either to bring in a system that ruin careers but they were given an chance, and can get an opportunity in Cleveland as well!!! Knicks moved Shump to a team that wants him. JR in the right situation can fill the role of team moron as well!!!
In a perfect world we just ignore some posts. Sometimes we have to address them so neutral readers can think for themselves and form their own opinion based on contrasting views.
