Oh, I’ve been in questioned with this issue.

“Poor guy, trying to develop around a bunch of losers, I hope it doesn’t rubb off on him.”

Like it rubbed off on Lee, Chandler and Nate? These guys are already defeated. They don’t believe that they can win.

We have a team that has grown accustomed to a losing culture. The team needs blowns up…

I’d rather go to war with a knucklehead with heart (Robinson) than a lethargic player (Chandler).

Agreed, but what if you were jeopardizing your opportunities for future employment, as well as the likely hood of never getting a real good contract ever again?
How about pride in one’s self?
But I suppose that i’m asking for too much, after all it’s always about them!

These jerkoffs should spend a few weeks working for a living!

The players on the Rockets are very underrated.

Most people focus their attention on high scorers with athletic ability, but teams don’t win because they have high scorers or great athletes. They win because they have EFFICIENT SCORERS.

What wins games is taking high percentage shots, getting to the free throw line a lot, not taking any 3 pointers unless you are a good enough shooter to justify it, not turning the ball over, rebounding, and playing good defense.

The Rockets have smart players that are efficient scorers.

The Knicks have total knuckleheads other than Lee and Gallo.

Don’t know about the Rockets but lets not forget most of the players don’t have security on this team…

None of the Knicks are gonna take pride in digging deep for a franchise that is planning on gutting them… the media plays a role here as well, consistently harping on 2010…it’s like a company telling someone they’re gonna be laid off in 2 more months and then telling them to go above and beyond the call of duty at work for the company, even though they don’t even have adequate resources to succeed… you’re concerned about how you’re going to eat, not increasing the company’s profit margin

Basketball is a think fast sport! You MUST have some b-ball smarts to survive in the league. Guys like Jordan, Wade, Kobe love and respect the game. They take time to study the game and increase the “iq’s” on their own. These guys are not babies. They are on their own.

I think basketball “IQ” SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU GET DRAFTED! As a ball player myself, these guys don’t know basic stuff that you’re taught from basketball camps from 8 years old. As a professional, its not up to your coach to teach you to have an “IQ”. Either you have it or you don’t. Thats why so many guys in the league with great talent, can’t make their carreers last.

Simple “IQ” test:
If you take 5 three point shots and miss, what do you do?

A. Take another one
B. Go to the Basket, and try to get an easier one.
C.Just throw a turnover.

When defending a great shooter, do you?

A.Go Under the Screen.
B.Get Over the screen.
C. Someone else will pick him up.

I think Mike D’ should make an example of Chris Duhon. Here is a guy who clearly came un prepared for the season after showing some signs of good play the season before. Then he rips his teammates publicly but DOESN’T LEAD BY EXAMPLE. He is “supposed” to be the team captain, but how do you think guys are looking at him after he said what he said (altought it was true and needed to be said) but he goes out there and plays exactly the way he was bashing?

Even if he’s not ready, start Toney Douglas for a game or two. We suck anyways and we are getting blown out of the water in each and every game but the one and only win. See if Duhon and the rest gets the message. If not, they won’t be here next year. Bench their “Don’t give a f***” asses and let those who are willing to play D and improve get the minutes.

This team has enough to at least COMPETE, and more turnovers than points from our starting PG is unnacceptable. Time to do something about that.

Ahhh… got that off my system. Yeah, feel kind of better now.
