ask herb...

No....ask Isiah. He is the one that makes those types of decisions. Herb coaches to win unless told otherwise.

You have proof that Isiah hasn't asked him to give more PT to the bench players?

I think it's obvious Isiah hasn't asked. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

that reasoning certainly wouldn't stand up in a court room but you're free to believe you know anything you want to believe you know

I think Isiah has been in a tough spot: he has to make it look like he's given Herb a fair chance to "win" the job. This means Herb has to be allowed to put "his" team on the floor. Obviously, this strategy has sort of blown up in everyone's face. I think Zeke should really come out and say that he won't count the last month of the season against Herb and Herb will be considered for the job and then privately tell Herb to play Ariza 40 minutes, Sweet 40 minutes and Butler 25-30 min. Sundov 25-30.


but I know he won't. Zeke is really bad at lying (witness the Chaney firing, when he doesn't want to tell the truth he doesn't say anything or else is so blatantly lying it's just sad - I guess he's learned to keep his mouth shut.)

Unfortunatly your reasoning doesn't hold up in the court of common sense. If you boss asks you to do something...and you flat out refuse over and over again....guess what. Most likely you will be fired.

what if Isiah has had a conversation with Herb and it went something like this:

"Try to get as much time for Malik, Maurice, TT, & KT as I want to try to trade them over the summer. Ariza and Sweets don't need as much time because their untouchable and part of our future and core."

Regardless, Marbury is pretty dinged up and should be shut down- his playing at this point is not gaining anything.

I don't believe I know everything and you don't have to act obnoxious.

I was trying to be respectful. You took the conversation to a lower level when you said "you don't have to be a genius to figure it out"

The rest of the debate is old stuff that we've been over before and is unnecessary to even comment on again.

give me a break. If Isiah asked him too he would play the young guys, plain and simple. If they lose Herb will sit in the post game and talk about what a good opportunity it is for the kids and thats what the GM asked him to accomplish.

What your seeing is just more evidence of how poorly this organization is run and how little anything has changed with new management

absolutely, butler ariza sweetney sundov[even though sundov is as good as gone] should play 24+ minutes each.

Id like to see the starting line up tonight
C -Butler
PF Sweetney
SF JYD
SG Ariza
PG Crawford
C Sundov
F Taylor
F TT
G Jackson
