    Real talk. We miss barry and his winners mentality,We closing games with a bunch of scared losers.

    Rafers went back to dribbling the ball up the court to hand it to T-mac.

    I was not sure, but after thinking about it I am.

    Yes, if they sat out and Wafer and Barry played bigger roles, the team would have won both games.

    Now, what does that mean?

    We knew that when the big 3 were healthy and all players ready they would be key.

    No chemistry from them yet....Three games we had a full rotation this year.....THREE LOSSES...

    It is unbelivable.

    I can handle the loss to Cleveland. But Philly and WIZARDS? Are you kidding me...

    You can't win close games with losers. You need a barry in the game and wafer fits in because he doesn't have anything to lose.



    You sorround Yao and rafer with losers they start to become that, this is why we have trouble closing games and this losing mentality rubbs off,It's contagious. Rafer was playing his best ball until these clowns coemback,Yao was growing into a real leader.



    It ain't about talent all the time.Sometimes great chemistry overrides superior talent.

    Sure, T-Mac and Artest do not fit together.

    But it can work when T-Mac starts and Ron comes off the bench...

    No, because there are not enough minutes.......the pieces do not fit.

    Tmac
    Rafer
    Artest

    All bad shooters.........and they are relied on too much.

    When Wafer was in the team had an identity, everyone played off of Yao...that is the only way this team gets better.

    Yao has to be the focus, and surround him with players that can take advantage of what he creates.

    Tmac and Rafer are ...marginal at it.

    But Ron....he does not fit.
