i already praised him for his good defense last night & for playing like a true PG should & being a leader last night in the way he got his teammates involved in the game & kept a positive energy even when he was off the floor & giving his teammates encouragement... do i have to repeat that in every thread for you to stop w/the inaccurate statements that no one ever gives him praise? when he plays well i give him his due... when he acts like a moron i call him out on that too... i call things like i see them... but getting on the same page when the coach draws up a new play is standard procedure in my eyes & what every player on the floor is expected to do... i don't define that as being a leader, sorry.

I think this TEAM as a whole gets along very well. People don't realize this cuz they're so busy bashing Steph, they assume that he isn't liked, but in most interviews with the young players on this team they say glowing things about him and in many situations i've seen him talking to them and encouraging them, but that doesn't get played up as much as his negative stuff. I tape every game and I go over them and I can tell you that he does a decent job of communicating with them, that goes unnoticed.

Like others have said, last year when Lee was starting and the team went on that streak, Steph was clearly telling Lee to shoot and was looking for him. He has a good rapport with Frye as well and I just think we need to stop killing the guy so much. He's got flaws, but he's also a guy that does things in a low key manner when it comes to his positive acts.

Ah. Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot to bash Steph today.

What's with Marbury's mustache? I think he looks better without it:

So you prefer men without facial hair....
