Do you have any idea of his contribution in practice? ... The way he would "clean up" the buffet area and such...

All these guys have rings. Seriously, does it matter?

I hate EC as much as the next disgruntled Knick fan, but the poor guy's irrelevant. Let him slowly fade away in peace. Doesn't this board have enough angst without dredging up more?

This thread ranks up with the Starbles Chinese Championship thread.

You know what, after hearing Pat Riley give an interview and to hear him say how those losses to the Knicks when he took over the Heat just broke his heart and killed his love of coaching, I found that I no longer hated him.

Personally, I'm not going to jump on the Miami hate bandwagon. People weren't hating on them so much before LeBron signed but now Wade is hated to. Not sure I get it.
Dude is an arrogant prick but, has his prick-ness increased with the addition of LB or is it just a case of guilty by association?

Marbury won one too, in China!

Don't forget Turiaf

haha, he is the only person on the Heat that I don't dislike, in fact I wish him well.
He played his heart out as a Knick, literally...
I liked him since his early days at Lakers and Golden State as well.

On some night he surprised us with like 18pts 15rbs, 5 block shots, 2 steals, 7/9 FTs kind of nights

and

sometimes he did like 4rebounds 2 block shots 0pts

Being undersized and just as an underdog, while playing with 100% heart is what being a Knick is about...
He was never expected to be a starter and suited as a 7th-10th man when he was at his best, right now he is in decline.
Turiaf made many big stops, rebounds, and blocked many shots last year for us, winning us a lot of games but he was never expected to do that consistently...
He reminds me of a Malik Rose/ Dejuan Blairre, not as skilled as Blairre offensively, all being undersized, and played well in a backup role for a short period of time.
Players like that, it is just a matter of time before their lack of size and skills catch up on them.
As soon as their physical abilities go down a little, their game takes a big step back, to play in the NBA

Is he a great coach? I think he is a very good work in progress.

I used to like Wade, but not after these playoffs- he used to be a great, tough competitor. Now he flops on nearly every shot (maybe he always did that), then complains to the ref as though he genuinely believes his own acting, or genuinely thinks he should have a different set of rules apply to him. The number of times he failed to get back on defense vs the Celtics, and instead chose to stay back and argue with the ref's is pathetic. He's better than that, but he's just been playing weak and like a diva these past few years.

After the pep rally I lost all respect for Ledouche and D-Whack.

I hope the Thunder destroy Miami!
