This is a touchy situation, We were all clapping like seals after relizing what kinda of player AR is/can be, but how quickly has that change (some of us thought Nelly in GS was losing his mind) Im hoping thats not the case with AZ. How do you fit him in??
Ironically BW is such a + on the floor in his sporadic minute's, it's difficult to drop low on his 12 mins, TD (just like last year) appears to be a streaky john starks kinda player, how can you sit a streaky player, you just never know when he's going to get hot.
With so much young talent, and everyone having there moments, and needing quality minutes to get better, I think MDA has his work cut out for him. Playing more then nine guys won't cut it, playing amare, gallo, and chnadler out of position for the sake of somebody else getting PT, f**ks up the chemistry.
I'm not going to put much stock in the three PATSY wins against three lottery bound teams..yeah we played better, but it's tough to act like the Mini, philly, and rockets defeats didn't happen, especially when those teams continue to lose after they beat us.
I think everyone on this team can help us on any given night, but what night is the question, the match ups, the who deserves to play, the who should play, who's better guarding who, but then makes us suffer on the offensive end, or visa versa. I know some of you wanted the 10/11 man rotation, but thats a recipe for disfunctional..
Throw in the curry factor, MDA likes curry, and will probably want to a) give him an opportunity to see what he has, and b)if he does have something,then boost his trade value. MDA has shown (think duhon and Al) that he will give a vet in the last year of his contract, a generous amount of time to prove himself worthy.
This all becomes a major problem if were not winning, cause there goes the locker room (see amre's comments a week ago), and the fire MDA chants, but..... if were winning, then this is a minor issue, cause no one wants to be bitching about PT ( IDK why he didn't play me) on a winning team.
