not really sure what this says about the team or noah, but something about the players deciding who gets to play and who doesnt seems wrong to me.

Who's running the team - the coach or players ? I've never heard of the players getting together, and instituting the punishment.

After another bad loss today, I'm getting close to pulling the plug. I'm sick of hearing that they can still make the playoffs, and they probably can, but who cares ???? They'd be a 7 or 8 seed and would get crushed by Detroit or Boston in the 1st round.

I haven't quite figured out how this went so wrong, but I'm reaching the point of a major player shakeup here. I just hope to god that Paxson doesn't take on McGrady. That guy can't stay on the floor with all of his injuries.

I agree with you on McGrady. As exciting as he is, he just can't stay healthy, and I don't think Gasol is the answer either.

Not to mention McGrady has never won a thing.

Neither has KG, but he seems to help Boston.

The Rockets actually play better without him. Since his last game on December 23rd, the Rockets are 7-3.

The Bulls are better at playing Global Thermonuclear War.

Pax really fucked this thing up.........his inability to take a risk will haunt him for a while. That being said, I too can't quite put my finger on how this team got so bad so quick. For everyone who says this team doesn't have a superstar or significant talent (which generally I agree with) they still won 49 games!!! I just don't quite get it.

I hated this draft pick from the day that it was made and this only makes it worse. His attitude and his ability are very far apart.

He'll probably mature a little and become a decent role player. That's it.

Agreed. It's one thing for this team to just not be able to beat Detroit or Boston this year, but to sink to the bottom of the conference with the same team that seemed to be improving...definitely didn't see that coming.

Which has to do with what exactly?

I'd take KG too. I was talking about McGrady.

Garnett is a lifetime 20/10 guy who shoots 50%+ and passes well for a big man. McGrady is a shoot first guard who averages 20+ a game but does nothing but shoot.

KG helps Boston because he is unselfish and wants to win. McGrady teamed with Pierce and Allen would be a trainwreck.

Well you can't have it both ways, either winning a championship before means something or it doesn't. If it matters, then the KG example negates it, if it doesn't matter why'd you even mention it? You could have just said what you just posted instead.

My apologies to you for speaking about one player without writing a 4 paragraph diatribe. :roll:

Added on edit: I guess by this logic I would then want Mark Madsen as our starting PF. :wink:

"From the opening tip, we were too casual with everything, especially defensively," Deng said. "We kind of went through the motions."

Think if we had Old Skool Mad Man and Nocioni!? Like two energizer bunnies on the court

EDIT: Sweet Fancy Moses... I just saw the highlight of the dunk Josh Smith had on the Bulls today. Shameful

overachieved :( it would be nice to get back to the days of having talent & kicking other teams buts and they can do nothing about it
