This is NY players will come!!

Gallo Hill and Douglas are good young players just being asked to do toooooooo much!!

Every VET on this team has flat out quit!!

Boston had Paul Pierce, a first round pick and a budding star in Al Jefferson. What do we have? No SUPERSTAR will come to this team. So what if it is New York. The Garden has lost some of it's luster over the years. I think the best we can do free agent wise is Joe Johnson and I doubt he helps us much.

I agree.

Double co-sign

YOu can say that on 11.13.09, but you don't know what FA's will think about this team come the summer. Gallo might just have a really promising season. He's already showing that he's got a lot of talent and this isn't even close to his peak. Just imagine what Gallo, Hill and TD will look like after they mature and gain more experience. I think Chan just needs a healthy off season. He really got held back by the lack of any real work on his game. He needed it cuz he had a lot more development needed. Still if we can somehow get good PG play, maybe all of these guys would look a lot better. Except for Al who is like even worse than Zach as an selfish player.

Maybe Nelson and Walsh wanna swap players???

Banking our entire future on the hope that great championship level players will come, sure. What can possibly go wrong with that?

Not a guy I expected to regress. I never expected this pathetic showing, but at least most of the youngsters were giving us hope. Chandler is no longer giving us that.

I am still scratching my head.

He's a rookie. He's still recovering. We know what we have there. No reason to pull a Don Chaney McDyess move is there? No urgency to win this game. This season is over. No need to push players into extra minutes.

As it was I felt Gallo and Douglas were again out of gas in the 4th and should have sat earlier.

No need to risk injury or risk a burnout (ala duhon last season).

Sit them when they're done.

We're tearing down a mess that was already here. Making this more palatable is the hope that we get a couple of max FA's. But even if we don't get that, this was necessary. We weren't going anywhere; we've been crap for a decade.
Worst case scenario, we don't get a max FA nex season, we're crap again next year, and we build through the draft.
