Al and Chandler get killed for low BB IQs. Lee gets talked both positive and negative. And it's all about the 2010 plan.

Not sure what this means. It's not like anyone will be wrong in any of these arguments, especially the Al and Chandler ones.

I am basically a D'Antoni hater at this point. His lack of coaching skills, poor in-game management and terrible rotations have made me turn on him. I call a spade a spade. D'Antoni is doing an awful job coaching this year. The roster sucks, but it's not worse than the Bucks roster. Yet here we are failing miserably. It's unacceptable.

I'm calling you that because I found out last night that's who you are and I feel ridiculous referring to you as another name now. If someone else has been doing it for a longer period of time I'm unaware of it.

So what's the points you are trying to make? Am I wrong in saying that Walker needs more shots? Why is Al getting a free pass from you? The guy sucks. Do we blame D'Antoni for playing him? Yes. But Al IS a moron and there is no fault in saying so. So I don't see a reason to say I was "right on point". I didn't make the statement to defend D'Antoni and not every statement made insulting a member of this team is giving a free pass for D'Antoni. I don't like the coach but the players do not get a "Get out of Jail Free" card.

TD's defenseive intensity was huge..

Gallo had a nice bounce back after a rough start.. shoul not have been guarding manu.. heis a tough cover for most SF's.. and we should have utilized gallo more in the post... Sean elliot was really prasing gallo... elliot said" you can't let these small guys guard gallanari like that, he is too big and too talented to do that, he is not some skinny stiff, the kid can play!".. that is a lot comming from elliot who usually kills us during the telecast...

Al harrington:nature.... two instances just really got to me... one in which douglas got a steal, saved the ball, gave it to al, and instead of all giving it back for TD to set the offense, he goes "AL" turns the ball over falling and kicking as he loses the ball.. the next was when the knicks were down. Gallo drives by duncan for the score.. then he makes a circus shot on a drive and then the next post up gallo is fouled.. after gallo missed the FT. knicks are down 1.. manu hits a runner.. knicks down 3.. instead of working the gallo mismatch.. Al just gets the ball and hoist a three for a miss.. spurs come down and score.. knicks down 5.. right there, we lose momentum, pretty much the game as well.. Al just doesn't get it.. the spurs announcers called him a black hole.

tough loss, but ginobili and duncan were a bit too much..
