i ask this b/c with the distractions going on with isiah, along with our poor record, do you think that lb feels a little pressure to try to win some more games now to deflect some of the criticisms going isiah's way? if that's the case, i can see him going with the vets more and more for the time being trying to win a few, at the behest of giving the rooks some actual in game play. i think we're going to see the rooks pulled much quicker after mistakes.

i could be wrong but i wouldn't be surprised. granted, they haven't really seized the opportunity and forced lb's hand. i wonder what we're going to do with q1?

it's funny, when Larry is in "must win" mode with this team, the results are disastrous. when he gives up and decides the season is over and it's time to play the rooks around new year's, we reel off six wins in a row. the vets on this team outside of Marbury suck.

though Larry claims the rooks are tired and Frye certainly looks it right now.

I would hope not, otherwise this will truly be a lost season.

I don't think they will win anymore games with these veterans anyway.

My guess is that the rooks will soon be getting major PT again.

To the contrary, our vets are generally worse than our youth...and that is the among worst part of this whole mess.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I dont think so, I think the reason the rookies' minutes have been limited lately is becuase of fatigue.

I think as guys play well they will play. With Qyntel playing well, David is going to lose time. When he starts to outplay Qyntel then Q will lose time. Channing's minutes don't fluctuate that much. That leaves Nate. I think most of us agree that of all the young guys he is the guy that is going to lose minutes first because of his poor decision making. Of all the guys he is the guy that most needs to learn from the bench. We need to get off the mentality that the only way to develop is to play. You develop by listening to the coaching staff, then you get better, THEN YOU PLAY. That's how sports have been done for decades. Why is it that minor league baseball, hockey and pro football players ride the pine til they are ready but rookies who aren't performing in basketball deserve minutes. I don't get it.
I just hope that people will like me
