or a team that actually sets a ton of real picks

They're strong where we're WEAK! Kemba, Lin n Hairston are just driving left n right.

Guys aren't going to huddle expecting answers. They're frustrated.

We need to hit some shots.

To be honest, DWill is always on attack mode; Carmelo just recently started to take the ball to the hoop really hard

I just don't understand how wildly different he is from game to game. Just a few games ago he was scoring 25ppg in wins over Utah and Philly.

i don't think that's the way we should look at the matter. the law of averages over time tells you what sort of player you are dealing with, wild fluctuations/inconsistencies game to game notwithstanding. the guy is clearly a negative-sum player and by the way he has been traded six times in eight seasons. there's a reason why he keeps getting traded, his affect on the team is reminiscent of raymond felton. i freely admit that i liked the acquisition because what i saw in dribs and drabs was pretty good but on closer inspection he is fool's gold.
