    wow, obviously you have never coached, played, or watched good basketball. This shows what kind of mindset you have when it comes to sports.

    As i stated already, i'm not happy with his play of late, you have failed to answer my question which was why didn't Yao or Artest step up seeing how Tmac wasnt doing anything? Why wasn't there anyone there to call Tmac out for his lack of performances these 10 games were he hasnt scored over 10 points? If he isn't being a good leader, then why doesn't anyone take over? Blame everyone, in the end, it's a team loss, not a Tmac loss.

    The reason everyone is upset is that Grady talks the talk but cant walk the walk. I recall him saying on his web page that he's "back". Sit him for 2 months or trade him. What a wimp....

    If i was making 20mill a season, i would play with one arm and still try

    yea, no one has called him out. Oh wait, didn't he have that meeting with the coach and GM saying he would be trying harder? All that's left is suspend him without pay for the rest of the year, and deal with him in the offseason. This team is much better off without him

    So if he would've fouled Moon, would that have shut yall up? I wouldn't have fouled him either. Seeing as no one else gave a D#@! about the game, why should he?

    Why does anyone need to call him out? He shouldnt need to be called out since he claims its his team

    Foul him and make him earn the 2 points from the charity stripe.

    exactly, only way to talk basketball with someone is if they understand the game a little.

    Because Artest was giving effort, and made a dumb play.

    It wasn't even just the Jamario Moon dunk. The past week, TMAC has just been moping around the court doing nothing. His body language shows he doesn't even want to be out there. Last night, he stood 5-6 feet behind the 3-pt line, and did nothing. He received passes, and just moved them on to the next guy, and had this look like he did not want to be there.

    Why are you being obtuse? One sorry pass does not equal QUITTING on your team, your city, and your teamates.

    And when 1 person quits on the floor, that is a 20% drop in production, and when that player is one of your best it is even more of a drop in production.

    TMac left his teamates out to dry, he hung em out.....if I was his teamate I would have busted him in the nose in the locker room after the game.

    You NEVER quit that is inexcusable, that is like being a baby and taking your ball and going home.

    Quitters never win....Winners......NEVER QUIT.....

    Artest started the whole fast break, if he didnt make that one of his six turnovers then there would be no complaints about tmac not fouling.

    This exact play happened last year too but this time instead of Moon it was the speedy Peja Stojacovic. It was in N.O. and it was basically a foot race between our fearless Queen and Peja. Diva quit at halfcourt and let Peja run it all the way for the layup.

    technically for last night's game, yes, you can blame a lot of other players and factors. but #1 was the biggest problem and root cause for the loss, was it not?
