so nate and darko are the main reasons NY is 4-15...
not harrington's selfishness in key moments, duhons 20% from the field or his inability to beat anyone off the dribble or his Lee or bust pass distribution ratio...why is Jared Jeffries ever behind the 3 line especially at the end of halves for a team that every possession truly matters too and he ends up with the shot...why is lee being asked to anchor the defense...
escapegoats!
It's not the record he is concerned with. It's the culture. We are trying to change the culture. If you do what the coaches say you have freedom in this offense to be whoever you want to be. Nate is included in this. If you don't, then you don't play. If you shoot in the wrong basket you don't play. If you preen and pose while the opponent is still playing you don't play. If you shout and flex when your team is down 20 your don't play. If you give effort and suck you play. We are rebuidling. The effort and attitude is the most important thing right now. It's that simple.
bip, somehow you become very smart recently. i think, what you just say, is how it is. that's it. anyone bashing mda or anything or walsh, refer to this post, i no think anyone say it better.
it's about the culture, it's about long-term vision, not instant gratification. is all. is all. ANYONE THAT DEFEND NATE, ANYONE THAT DEFEND IVERSON, IS EQUAL TO THE PEOPLE THAT DEFEND MARBURY = YOU KNOW NOTHING.
for many year, crazy people run the show, the inmates at asylum. now, with mda and donnie, we show who is boss-- the coach and gm. for too many year out gm and coach try to be buddy buddy with lunatics.
WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.

said he is playing the vets so much b/c he cares about them getting their next nba contract. The team is full of a whole bunch of guys who won't be here. How can you establish any kind o fculture with a roster that is goung to be completely overturned. What kind of message does it send to the guys that will be here when you suck as bad as duhon has or play as selfishly as Al has and you still get 40 minutes?
