I don't understand why you guys nitpick about details.
Zach this, Curry that, Marbury didn't do this, our FG% is this.
GUYS: This team is a terribly mismanaged roster, and a franchise that is ruled by a megalomaniac who would rather go down in flames than follow reasonable measures of ownership.
In lay terms - we're not a playoff team. Fuck dissecting every little thing, we're a bad team, why should anyone expect anything else?
Because I contend it might be more complex than this. You can see evidence of positives with certain lineups and players. To paraphrase tomverve on the ex-NY Times forum, One could argue that our best guard, big man and swingman all come off the bench. This means that we MIGHT not be a bad team as you suggest, but don't utilize the best players and lineups enough.
Anyway, it's called talking basketball. If you don't want to engage, no one is forcing you to do so.
Then your contention is just agreeing with what I said -- this is a POORLY mismanaged roster.
And don't overrated our bench either. We have no one in the way of an Al Jefferson, who can pass, rebound, score, and block a few shots.
And I am talking basketball, just like you are. You just don't agree with my realistic outlook that despite positives here and there, overall we're a lukewarm team full of selfish egos.
Btw, disagree about Telfair. Guy's lightning quick and poised so far.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure.
And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.
