...we'd have a pretty good team wouldn't we.

But...it just doesn't work that way, does it.


Yeah, this is a random thought, but just watching us today.... the good and the bad... from each player. Just, wow. Only Gallo is exempt it would seem. He doesn't do stupid. He might do rookie but he doesn't do stupid. Neither does Douglas come to think about it but how would we know since he doesn't play.

Watching Al, Watching Nate, Watching Chandler, good god if we could just shove a brain in those melons of theirs.

Al & Nate have all the heart but none of the brains... Wilson is lacking in both categories... Fishlips doesn't even know where Kansas is.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Might not be possible but we should still try.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

We do have an unlimited amount of stupid mofos on this team. So many dumb plays throughout. I can't take it. I'm on my way to islesfan status with these guys.....Duhon and Chandler more than anything.

Duhon and Al with the dumb plays on offense and Lee on D! The biggest culprits. Duhon is painful to watch. No court vision. No penetration. No shot. No leadership. Duhon thinks walkng it up and giving up his dribble to make a pass where no advantage is gained and the guy he gives it to is inept, is smart BB.

I could probably add the coach to this mix to some degree.

Why does David Lee put down a welcome mat 15-20 times a game for a free layup and sometimes give the AND-1 as well?
Why are we playing cement shoes Duhon 45 minutes a game when we have speedy gozales Douglas on the bench?
Why do we play Duhon so much who looks off wide open Gallo and well-positioned Curry only to hand the ball to Nate, Al, or Hughes to throw up a 30 foot brick time and again?
Why do we play Lee so much when we have Darko who could come in for 8-10 minutes and block 2 shots taking 4 points away from the opponent every game?
Why don't we take 3 minutes away from each of Duhon, Lee, Hughes, Al and give them to Jordan Hill (12 min per night)?

Why? Because D'Antoni is an idiot who still thinks he's in a playoff race and wants to play the vets. Same old story going on 6-7 years now. Overplay useless vets and let the youth rot on the bench believing these vets (and let alone this team) is a playoff contender.

Chandler had some really dumb moments against the Celts. Offensive fouls you could see coming a mile away, turnaround jumpers that gets stuffed with plenty of time on the shot clock. He made one nice assist late in the game which flabbergasted me.. Why can't he look for his teammates more often?

I lost count of how many times Chandler steps out of bounds after receiving a pass.

it's the same amount of times Harrington makes an inbounds pass that goes to the other team.

Didn't Lee make one of those too? And what was up with the passes into the 5th row?

Mda is no innocent by stander, cause he's playing duhon..They pass on A I to give the rooks a chance to develop yet there getting spot mins at best..and it's utterly embarrassing the way they look off(our best shooter) gallo so many times.

To add...based on a few posts here... what IS up with the stepping out of bounds upon receiving a pass? It happens anywhere from one to three times a game. That alone robs your team of the potential for 2-6 points!

What the HELL is up with that? It's become a common fixture. When it happens I am not surprised anymore. That is just STUPIDITY at it's finest. There is no other explanation. I don't want to hear "They're rusty" because we are 10+ games into the season and that is when the rust shakes off. I don't want to hear "They're young, rookies, etc" because it is the most boneheaded play you can come up with.

But, I digress. As I have come to understand? Bad teams do these things. Well, we're a bad team.
