    Hmmm... what might KMart be hinting at?

    Feigan said before the trade some players were not happy about playing with AB at the end of games. Guess we know who one of these guys was.

    Sounds like he was calling out AB for his ball-hogging tendencies to the detriment of his playmaking duties.

    But there was never really room for both AB and Martin--both are offensive players with poor defense. It's possible to mask one poor defender on the perimeter, but it's really tough to cover for two of them.

    Anyone up for a photoshop?

    Looks like they slashing prices on cheap shots at KMART! Cheap shots have gotten even cheaper!?


    What ever happened, it's working; Kmart finally getting points in the 4th.

    It's no secret. We all saw Brooks mannerisms out on the court. Having to play with someone who walked out on the team and who clearly wasn't giving his all, must have been annoying for the rest of the guys.

    I blame rick. He should have yelled " My team is on the floor!!!!" to AB sooo much sooner.

    I don't think he was singling out anyone, not even Brooks. If you look back at the lineups we've had before the last trade, the players on the floor were not as consistent as they are now. Now we have Kyle, Kevin, Courney, Scola, and Hayes.

    Before we'd see Bud, Miller, AB, Battier, Hill... lots of different players.

    I do credit Kyle with stabalization of the offense overall, however.

    I wonder what the Rockets' record would be if they had this rotation from the beginning of the season.

    I will. Adelman is easily a top 5 coach.

    He had no choice but to play AB and we got Dragic and a first rounder bc of it. AB did cost us the playoffs though..we win a few more games with Ish as our backup instead of AB post-injury.

    I wonder what Rick Adelman thinks about this explanation. Would he agree?

    If he didn't play AB, he completely kills his trade value and doesn't even get us what we got from the Suns. Plus, it's not like we had a real option at backup PG besides him. Problem for RA was that AB just played the way he wanted to play when he was put in there.

    Definitely calling out AB. And with good reason, AB felt entitle and sucked every time he was out there, made his team mates even worse.

    Glad K-Mart spoke the truth there.
