nah, on the real he has been doing beter than i expected

too much time on your hands? and rejection at every turn. it’s not personal – i’m reading what you write. taken straight from the horses mouth. maybe you should get out, have a drink or six and pass out on a couch. take it easy, get some sun. besides, you don’t have to worry about that thin skin of yours being penetrated until it gets cold again.

life is too short.

Man u r tooooo much!

One other thing…I know Chris went to the hole sometimes. He could dunk on just about everyone in the league (ask Charles!!!!!) He was awesome – no question…but I simply believe that if he attacked more – and made a point of getting to the line more he would have been unstoppable.

That’s why I think it’s best to compare him to players like Rasheed and Garnett. They have the same approach. I prefer guys like James Worthy who made a point of getting to the line in big games. Worthy would shoot the jumper – but his tenacity in getting to the hole was what drew fouls on Parish, McHale and Bird and whomever dared get too close.

Ditto! Anytime.

Same. It’s nice to have an honest disagreement about something and be able to appreciate the nuances in what the other person is saying.

Thank you – and I wholeheartedly agree about the impact of Peja being injured in the series against Dallas.

They can say what they want, it doesn’t mean it is the gospel. Plenty of football coaches have different philosphies of how to win championships, the same with boxing, its crazy to think only one of them are right.

You’ve been saying that a great deal lately – especially in your rather brusque conversations with TBR. Has someone important to you been ignoring you lately, David? Whatsa matta?

There is no question that basketball, like football and boxing, supports a number of approaches. However, that diversity of basketball opinion admits no reversals when it comes to this principle. The men who dominate in the lane don’t all have to be giants – but they have to handle their business.

So it is in football. Football games are won in the trenches. It’s cliche, but it’s true. That doesn’t mean the team that runs for the most yards will win. It means the team that performs the best on both sides of the ball in the trenches will most likely win. The foundation of the offense begins with the capacity to protect and advance the ball – and for the defense – it is about the capacity to limit the advance of the ball and regain possession without conceding points.

They can say what they want, it doesn’t mean it is the gospel. Plenty of football coaches have different philosphies of how to win championships, the same with boxing, its crazy to think only one of them are right. You know C-Webb might have been able to dominate in the lane, Ali might have been able to dominate as a come forward brawler,Tito could dominate as a slick boxer, but that is not their nature and that is bad coaching that tries to coach people out of their nature instead of forming a gameplan around it or bringing in talent to supplement it.

I agree it will be interesting to see the dynamic of how they interact with each other when it seems like Kenny and Charles come from a different philosophy of basketball than him.
