KFan92 has waffled on more players than a bisexual at an orgy, even when it came to STAT I think...so I can't give him too much credit, though he did stick to sticking it to STAT, even when a lot of KO was verbally raping him over it.
We knew STATisticals was getting out rebounded by small, white, poor defensive point guards...even during his best of times....when we signed the man.
I blame the shamed departure of Starbury, and peeps' ravenous desire to refill NYK swag, for Fraudemire seducing so much of KO when we signed him that off season.
Anytime someone pointed out why Bosh -- or Lee -- was better than STATisticals, the gushing of this man's never-ending "swag" and how he would bring the NYK back spewed; the man talked the game of a thousand Spreewells and Oakleys, and deluded so many with his mouth and false swag, not unlike a false prophet, despite the realities of his game.
The sad, sad fact is that even if he gets his game back to it's prime of last year, his defense is going to be softer than a vagina, gets penetrated like a pornstar, and he has the uninsured knees, age, and contract where literally....if we asked GSW to do a straight up trade, they'd laugh and hang up.
His offensive game needs to be where it was before his injuries -- where he was legit a Laweyerence Taylor like phenomena on the league -- to make up for the other parts of his game. And for that, a quality PG is essential.
Wise old man Walsh knew that we couldn't chip it up with a gutted team, despite adding Melo and a FA to STAT. Which is why he was so infuriated that Dolan meddled in our Melo deal, it ultimately led to his resignation and premature departure from our franchise.
When we whiffed on Lebron and Wade (and yes, Bosh, too), the plan wasn't to keep up the dogged pursuit of max FA's at the expense of a rounded, complete team.
Bosh/Lee better than STAT? Cmon now. The man may be down right now but there's no need to kick him too...
STAT did more with this team last year than Bosh ever did with the Craptors or Lee ever did for us. Bosh and Lee are not good defenders either (though they do rebound better than STAT), and we brought in Tyson to bring our rebounding back to a solid state.
I agree STAT is playing kinda bitch-like right now and his defense needs to step up but seriously if we had a coach that actually emphasised any kind of god damn responsibility do you think these guys would be allowed to play this kind of laughable basketball and get away without a slap on the wrist? Shumpert taking 15 shots in a quarter or whatever the hell it was, STATS weak as crap D and a gajillion other things with this team can pretty much be written off as long as we have wet sock D'Antoni in charge.
No I'm not saying MDA is the root of all evil and STATs current shortcomings can all be attributed to him, but defensively this team will NEVER SUCCEED with this coaching staff.
Everything else I agree with but I can't stand by and let people dog on STAT like he's second rate compared to Lee and Bosh...
