Originally posted by vunny1408 On Bostjan Nachbar's reputation as being a shooter: "I wasn't here when he was drafted, but I would say the biggest area he needs to improve is his shooting. He's more of a slashing type of player. I think the ability to make the jumper is something he would easily have to continue to work on."

I maybe the only one to say this:
I am tired of hearing excuses from this team. I have not seen a lot of differences in this years team vs. last years, except for the new recruits. Last year, Yao had to settle into a new country, teammates, coach, etc. and he did well, especially against some of the bigger teams. Why no one else on our team can do something similar so far yet baffles me.

I agree. I hope the regular season get off to a better start than the preseason.

I really did not like the 3 guard line-up (Mooch, Wilks, Francis) - we were a giant hole on defense. However, having Cata and Yao together was working pretty well.

Wilks has spirit, but cannot make a shot or a free throw - hard to see him making the team.

Moochie was unimpressive.

Francis has a nice shot - it's hard to get down on him when it seems like he and Yao are the only ones who can score consistently.

Yao did everything I expected.

Jackson will be a key contributor this year.

Eddie cannot make the ball go in the basket, but at least his defense seems to be improving.

Boki - ah, poor Boki. At least he can rebound and move. His defense is terrible, and he cannot make a shot either. I was surprised at how much playing time he received.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Mo and Mobley are back.

I guess you didn't watch the first 3 games...Wilks was swishing 3's and jumpers and free throws were perfect. I don't know why he missed those 2 free throws yesterday. Inconsistent? I still think we should sign him...he's better than Moochie.

"Steve, offensively right now (is) trying to hit the home run every time down," Van Gundy said. "Steve is sometimes so great he can hit a home run. To shake somebody and take on another guy and take tough shots, the game's got to be easier. We're not playing team offense the right way. Blown play after play, assignment after assignment."

I know what I am talking about, some of you guys stop swining off of Franics ....he is not a winner.
