How about some quality play from Walker and Pierce? That might have as much to do with it as the coaching. According to the box score and the write ups I read, they both sucked and made a big difference. Our defense doesn't play real well against missed 3 point shots. If we made those shots, or even better, if we didn't settle for so many of them, it would have been a different game. I suspect that we did not execute the game plan. Plus, Pitino did not get Kenny hurt. And despite many on the list who feel Kenny sucks, we could have used him to execute the offense last night. I lay the blame at the feet of Walker and Pierce being soft and making immature decisions on the floor. Neither is a true leader like a Bird, Jordan, Magic, or even Iverson. What the team needs is a true leader who will kick the butts of teammates. Moreso than a new coach. Pitino sucks as a GM/personnel person, but as a coach, I don't think that can be said. I realize that folks are impatient and frustrated, but to say Pitino can't coach is incorrect. To say he can not assemble a pro team with the right chemistry may be on target though.
