    You should know better than to make blanket statements. B/c that means just about everyone on the roster is an idiot. Everyone has tried. Even Tracy.

    But you are correct in the numbered part of your post. He also serves as a great supporter from the bench. He is always up and talking to the guys. Sometimes praise and sometimes advice I'm sure.

    The passes to Deke last night were bail-out passes... which means the players who executed the passes had no choice... it's either pass to Deke or turn-over... it's not they pass to him n expect to post-up or anything like that... in that sense, Deke did hurt the team a lot by not catching them

    KYP!!!!

    I know it is almost reflexive to pass to an open man, but Deke has never been good at catching and converting those passes. The much, much smarter play would have been to try to put the ball off the backboard at an angle where Deke could go and get it.

    Also, I was pretty shocked to see RA bring Deke in with Yao for a few minutes.

    Mutombo probably lack of PT and currently still rusty. Experience player like him need some time to get rid of rust. Once he gets his rust off, he'll be
    playing Ok.

    So playing 4 vs 5 is okay when it is Deke because he plays defense and rebounds but playing 4 vs 5 with Chuck because he plays defense and rebounds is not?
