I do regret leaving Houston out of the equation, as I remarked earlier.

I think Curry is trying to hard to be a passer/playmaker–maybe because he’s not trying to step on the veterans toe and is trying to lead by example. But…. He has to start shooting and make his defender work harder. That worse that can happen is he misses–heck no one else is hitting anyway so he might as well work on that part of his game…

I think that Jack is not playing 100%. How could he? He doesn’t have passion for this team… Kinda like Harrington playing horribly last season and then all the sudden plays to his potential when he gets with the Knicks.

They just need to sit Jack down and not risk him getting hurt and damage his trade value. Everyone knows what he can do anyways… Maybe just make an annoucement that they are shutting him down and they’re going with the youngsters.

Monta Ellis is not the same player… I won’t ellaborate any more on this.

Randolph is horrible offensively. No jump shot, no go to move, no post up. He should just play like Beidrins and take high percentage shot. He needs to work on his offensive game and not let all the TK homers affect his ego and make him think that he is better than what he is…

This roster needs a major shake up. Keep Curry, Randolph, Morrow, Turiaf, Beidrins, Wright. These are the only guys who believe in team concept. Everybody else can go. I’m “iffy” on Ellis. He used to be my favorite player, but it seems like Jackson’s cancer has spread on him….

On a different note, I want to ask you a question regarding TK.

Why do you think he hates Nelson so much? It seems it is more than just basketball… He is trying sooo hard to get him fired, as if Nellie did something to him… As long as you’ve been reading him, what do you think the root of it is?

I figured I’d ask you in your blog before all the TK Homers get mad at me…

Let me clarify… I think Nelson has lost this team and it is time for a change… so that argument is valid, but he takes it to a whole new level… just curious…

I do think moving Curry to the second unit would improve the chemistry. But without Beans and Turiaf, and the old Monta Elllis, that’s simply putting on a raincoat in a tsunami.

i respect what you’re writing, but open up your eyes — this goes way beyond not having the horses

At best the veterans who are playing are completely selfish in their play and at worst, they’re just going through the motions — there is absolutely no comprehension by SJ, CM, and ME that this a team game — even the passes by these guys are making are only to try and build up assist stats

there was a very telling play in the first half when AB was battling for a board and then the ball became loose and he looked back toward the Kings basket only to see SJ flat-footed about 6 feet away watching instead of trying to help out — AB’s look of disbelief on his face said it all

Blame DN and/or blame the players’ behavior but to describe this simply as “the players are not good enough” is missing the story

They’re at least good enough to lose respectably to a Kings team w/out Martin after playing in Utah the night before. Please!
