There's calling out your players, which is fine. But there's also a thing called playing to your strengths and trying to hide your players' weaknesses with complimentary players. The latter part is all on Zeke, the former is all on Larry.
It's a mess all around and it's really getting tired having people try to blame one person or the other. Both Isiah and Larry are at fault and we have to hope they fix it, because apparently Dolan is pleased as peaches.
I think the guys that are brown supporters are just as stubborn as brown. They don't want to sat anything or hear anything except that the players this and isiah that.
I think its everyones fault but I'm just sick of seeing guys base all their argument on the fact the coach is Larry brown. That is just blind faith.
Blind faith is having faith without any proof of success.....Blind faith describes the guys that ride Steph's jock and saying he isn't at fault for anything, when history proves that his teams lose with him. SO either he actually is the unluckiest player the world has ever seen or he is just a cancer. Agreeing with everything that Brown has done may be overzealousness, but at least Brown has the credibility of winning to back it up.
Look, like I posted before, If some guys are gonna write off Larry's history, you have to write off Steph's. No wins for Brown no stats for Steph. Now starting at point blank, no past history shown, compare the job the 2 did this season. Both sucked. And using this theory, both should be gone.
Now if the argument is Steph averages 20 and 8 for his career, then cool, you have to take LB's past into effect to and that proves that he has won, Steph hasn't.
You can't say Steph has averaged 20 and 8 for his entire career and then write off LB's past as not relevant. That is a flawed one sided argument. And if you DO want to use the past, use the whole past. Steph averaged 20 and 8 and didn't win. Larry had some horrible teams the first year he coached any given team, but they always ended up in a better position after that year. Steph's team always ended up in a better position after he was off the teamm (granted there may be extenuating circumstances in his case leading me back to he may be the unluckiest player in the world).
or maybe it is just possible that Steph is the Shareef Abdur Rahim of the backcourt and he puts up good numbers on horrible teams that never win.
