Im with MJW, id love to see them retain Kuester for another season and say **** off to all these players.

By the time we get good again well need a new coach anyways, just show the players that they aren't gonna do **** like this and get rewarded.

yeah it'd be easy to **** on him for rotations, but he's almost certainly been given instructions from the fo. given that he's still w/the team the lineups we've seen are likely a reflection the orders passed down

don't mind sethypooh he's just mad his fantasy player didn't get the minutes he wanted early on

@ Joe D: "It only took two years & 7 players getting suspended for boycotting your coach for your two marquee free agents to start a game"

lol

i hope the knicks make another terrible move, something they are great at, and fire my boy D Antonio so the stones can hire him after the Knicks bomb out in the first round again next year.

how can he coach a team when the respected vets are undermining him?

those players not helping the argument for keeping guaranteed contracts

you'd rather watch your team score 110ppg than contend?

D Antonio's teams have contended.

i liked it

Hornets D looked a million times better last night with Okafor back. Not surprising, but he didn't seem to show many ill effects at all.

Wow that was pretty awesome actually.

This was awesome.

Can't wait for Black Mamba 2!

TMac was starting to generate some positive buzz around the league too. Just a really bad decision

I'm kinda enjoying everyone loving the new Nuggets instead of hating them.

If you could get rid of Karl, I'd be all on board.

Everyone always roots for the lovable losers. I'm definitely enjoying everyone hating the Knicks.

Nuggets > Knicks right now.

I'd like to note that I've hated the Knicks forever, have thoroughly enjoyed the last decade of sucktitude, and futher look forward to the crushed hopes and dreams of a team that will always seem like it has a chance, but always fail due to horrible defense.

Scratch that. After the cancer thing and him basically badmouthing Carmelo publicly, I can give Karl a pass. Masai is cool and the way he worked the situation deserves support.

Nobody thinks they have any chance of doing anything this year. They're very big underdogs to win one playoff series. Keep thinking there are millions of people out there who think they are title contenders though.

EDIT: If they have any shot of winning a playoff series it will be vs. Chicago btw.

I'm not talking about this year. Hence "look forward to", etc. You're being obtuse.jpg.

I don't even understand why you would **** on him for the rotations. Rip and Tayshaun played a bunch early on in the year. Tayshaun has looked better than he has the last couple years, especially defensively. He's shown himself to be healthy enough that if a team wanted to take on his contract, it could have. Rip's big minutes got him nearly traded twice (Melo/Nets and Cavs deals). Daye and Monroe both struggled early on and have been playing a lot lately. Daye's defense has improved a ton and Monroe just looks a lot more comfortable. It seems to me that showcasing the veterans early on for potential trades (which almost happened) and working with the young guys to get them ready to play bigger minutes later in the year is exactly what you want to do.

On top of that, like Greear said yesterday, Kuester has been nothing short of excellent in calling plays in late game situations. I think he's handled TMac in rotations extremely well. I can't find much to blame him for except for not having the respect of some arrogant piece of **** that deserves to have his 04 ring taken away.

I was talking to ltg about this yesterday, if you are the Bulls, do you trade your future for any other team's future?

The Thunder is the only team we came up with, and I think that's actually pretty close because you have to rely on some of their young players to develop still.

The Bulls pieces just fit together so well and I think that's something the Thunder are still working on.
