In between those games he is a turnover-prone, low percentage shooting guard who thinks he is better than he is. To ask whether the trade was "good" or "bad" seems idiotic to me. What's our record? What has Mike contributed to any of our very few wins? Antonio is certainly the better ball player, but for that matter he was no help either this year. The trade was about Crittenton -- and you can see me scratching my head asking why why why? He might wind up a passable point guard, but I don't see why anyone would think he has big time potential. The season was effectively *over* by the time we made the trade -- now we've hamstrung our roster for next year too. Realize, Crittenton was available for essentially nothing. Does that mean he becomes a tradeable asset when he is in our hands? I don't think so. Not too bright, I don't think. :( On Mike James — yes, every once in a while he has a terrific game (wch doesn’t mean we win that game, btw).

I know that it would be too much like the right thing to actually bring him back. And if the reports are true about Blatche showing some passion about being taken out of the Cavs game, I actually love it! That tells me he is really into the game, playing with passion and playing well, I have not seen that since he has been here prior to this year. But to bench him for it, is that really the right move?

Trust me, he ain't the only player in dis-agreement with TAP.......This whirl-wind will be over in due time..... Also, when AB and Dmac came out the game, I was like WTH?????

Let's hope they make it to the all-star break and through the season, with the minutes that they are logging...they are already getting small chinks in their armour (AJ came up limping after hitting the three last night) EJ only had 11 games to adjust to the problem. TAP has 22 and counting. Both coaches had athletes that went out and did their thing to make the team better(Tap can't even figure out the proper players to put on the floor, not even mentioning his personal issues with players(start calling him Hillary)) EJ can go and coach any team in the league right now, can TAP? that would be your answer ;-) Rick,

But the fact that he went 5-17 and we were still in the game in the 4th qtr, shows me how much this team has improved on the boards (and on defense) over the last 5 or 6 games. Oh and by the way, Eddie Jordan was the problem, because he wasn't playing/developing the youth. At this point, i'd try to limit Caron and Antawn to 30 minutes per game and write the season off in terms of hopes for a playoff spot (WHO WANTS THE 7th or 8th SPOT ANYWAY!! I WANT THE DRAFT PICK!!). There is no way our guys will make the all-star team anyway since our record is so pathetic. I know Antawn can’t score 25 every night.
