The truth hurts my eyes and head.

Could care less about Murf. Never was hyped on him. Only time I thought "hmm, he might be a solid piece" was years ago and even then I didn't think he was all that. Whatever happened to that big man that was drafted and looked like he was a prisoner? I forget his name. Built like a house. Maybe we should call him up.

Yup. Dwight, who can drop 40 in a game just in the paint, needs to step outside to hit more jumpers. We need more jump shooters!!!

Has there been any links about Gilbert and him eating the last 2 years of his contract? I keep hearing tidbits about this but never see anything substantial.

Sometimes Jameer forgets who hes playing. He'll go help out Dwight whos holding his own while Jameer's man is a good shooter and is spotting up waiting for the ball. Sometimes he'll play a quicker, taller, long legged pg too close which means his opponent can go by him easier. So I guess its more of an IQ thing with him. He should be more knowledgable about matchups and their weaknesses and strengths.

Hes no Rondo.

Again, in your first sentences in the last 2 post, thats my point and your just restating it. I do agree with your assessment on Bass. He seems to have a real problem with this and this is something that kept him from getting PT last year mainly. Like I said, my mentality is theres no reason why Jameer can't keep his man in front of him. Its either lack of effort or just an IQ problem and he just doesn't get it.

Sorry misread that. It isn't bad if your looking at it from that chart but watching no namers come in and do what they've done against him, overshadows it for me. Simply, I think Nelson can be a better defender than he is. BTW: Going by that chart alone, our SG spot was having better production defensively than any other position.

Thats my point. When I played PG it was more of moving your feet laterally with some intensity and purpose. Plus, your always taught to make yourself bigger by keeping your arms extended. I was always pretty quick but Nelson is no slug and is pretty damn quick himself. Its mental with him. I think he prefers to play defense by taking his man to the right spot then just playing with a bit more intensity.

I mentioned Hedo. Only other negative in Net Production is the pg spot.

Well thats been discussed and admitted by Stan himself which leads me to wonder why is Otis saying something completely ridiculous like "we're just not making shots"? This team and the team before never really had that mentality in games consistently. I dunno. Can these old dogs learn new tricks? Jrich comes from a enviroment where defense was last priority. Hedo and Jameer should know better. Bass I think TRIES but is just not effective consistently.Arenas? I don't think we'll ever see Arenas the way we want to see him coming off the bench playing 20 minutes or so and even then we know his defensive abilities. I do give him credit he seems to have busy hands some times but staying in front of his man is never Gilbert's agenda. Jameer really disappoints me with his mentality towards defense. Size plays a role but theres been quite a few guys smaller then him that have been an impact on defense. Its pretty much set in stone that any pg came come into our house and post career highs or season highs on us.

Otis seems to think its missed shots. I guess he didn't pay attention to the final score. I know hes green but I really think another episode like the other night and Clark needs to start. He seems to be the only guy who shows up to play defense the entire game outside of Dwight.

Listening to Kevin O' Conner yesterday and I was thinking to myself how much of a straight shooter he is. I understand that a GM has to play the game a certain way but like you said, time is not on Otis's side anymore.

DJ White and Mo Peterson are better than Anderson and Qrich?

DJ White and Mo Peterson for Nazr Mohammed?! Pryzbilla, Cunningham and a first rounder for Gerald Wallace?! LMAO. Yuuuup.

Our roster is junk and no one would trade them or for them, yet at the time they were good when we traded for them but now no one wants them. Does this make any sense?

I'm saying Otis made a bad deal years ago after being ousted in the Finals.

Never ever have a ignored a poster. Your the first. Congrats.

Thats front office talk for "we didn't get crap".

Legit? Whats legit about Richardson? Since hes been here, hes averaging 13ppg and is duplicating if not worse then what VC brought. Of course we didn't know but is that our jobs? Whos job is it to sit back and see the climate. Every other GM did. Show me a link about Arenas and if thats the case they should stop letting it be rumors and let it be known so that fans don't get irate.

If we were to be that numbminded to trade Dwight...It wouldn't be for an 24 year old going on 40 Center and a 30+ PF.

Thats a million and 1. And you think your smart. pfft. Stop taking things out of context man. I said we might be able to do something. Not just for Deron.

And your not a GM because?
