Stupid and Lazy

"So when he is committing 3 turnovers in crucial late 4th quarter games. Deciding to jack deep 3s when we all know he is gifted at taking the ball to the rim. He isn't being stupid and lazy?"

Cosmic - let me break it to you gently, The sample instance you randomly described is not a FACT unless you can cite the exact game and the exact three turnovers in the fourth quarter game(s). Please state the opponent and date. Thank you.

Then I want you to gather just one quote from anyone associated with the NBA, DePaul University, the Knicks, the media, any blog, facebook, my space, The New York Post Opinion section or the Real Housewives of New Jersey who stated that Wilson Chandler was either stupid or lazy.

Just one

Uh, the previous game against the Orlando Magic. Not the win we just had. The game before that. Chandler committed 3 horrendous mistakes. Not just rookie but pretty much elementary school child mistakes that cost us the game.

Now, why do I have to quote a paper or housewife making an observation that Chandler has the IQ of a brick? Do your own observations of the game not give you the ability to see that he is hardly a smart player? Mine do.

And, again, maybe I am wrong, but what I see is a dumb player taking the easy way out far too often. Very Crawford-Like for comparison where you know the player has the skill to do better but absolutely REFUSES to do so which leads to far more inefficient games than it should.

Again, we are arguing over THE FOURTH BEST PLAYER ON A CRAPPY 30 WIN EC TEAM. If that statement doesn't put Chandler in his rightful place I don't know what else to say to you.

Dwight commited 6 turnovers in a must win game for Orlando. I guess he is about the ****test player on the Magic roster. The dumbest logic by far.

Andrew - I too, have voiced my opinion clearly and repetitively and for that reason, I too (despite being The Mayors Campaign Manager since 2006), am moving on (cough) from this thread

I've said this a few times but it is VERY apparent that Wilson has worked with Allah Houston on his J. They have nearly the same exact form. When Wilson started here--his jumper was way off and relied more on his athletic ability. Now he may not use his athletic ability enough and has relied more on the jumper. He has developed into a 6-8 shooting guard.
