to learn what a frikin pass is. He cant take 30 shots a game. We had a breakdown on D in the 4th and both Al and Nate stopped playing team ball. I think this was the reason why Al went to the bench--he started going over the cliff by going 1-1 too much with too many FGA's. Use your ability to kick it to open players Al 1 assist per game is not enough!

These two players have to realize that playing team ball is 48 minutes long. You cannot deviate from the team concept or you begin to have too much 1-1 junk. Sometimes its masked by good games but comes out when the shot% isnt there. Nate plays the right way for 60-65% of the time he is out there and then takes it upon himself to take shots out of rhythm of the offense--Al is just a ball hog--he gets it and he goes. Atleast he's been rebounding the ball. But big al--you would really help the team by considering the pass at times.

Yeah, the subject has been there and noted by many posters about those two. I didn't want to make too much of it because sometimes you need a go to guy but Harrington isn't going to change. I used to go to Hawk games and watch this guy do the same things. He would dribble into 4 guys and throw up ridiculous shots. Nate plays that way to a degree but sometimes he surprises you and gives up the ball.

Im still tyring to figure out why Golden State shove him aside. He's a very good scorer, but with no true leader ship on the team he's able to do that until Mike pulls him for taking one to many stupid shots. That kills us some time cause we could use his score down the stretch but the shot selections are extremely questionable, so it's more of a catch 22 with that guy.

To make matters worse, the last 2 games hasn't really been about make shots down the stretch but more about rotating on defense. Did you see the paul peirce shot with nate right in his face and pual bangs in a 3 with 1 sec on the shot clock, and paul didn't even lift a toe off the ground to do it. Gallo getting completely abuse by anyone quicker then him.

Nate is in his contract year so he has to get his. Al Harrington wants to rack up numbers because he wants to make sure his future is going to be well settled. Al knows he has to do what he has to do because after next year he knows he isn't part of the plan. He is a rental for 2 years and he knows it.
