RE: Pitino (well, what else would it be?)
I
would definitely give at least 12 minutes/game to Blount and Moiso. I
would trade Brown, Carr, and anyone with a long-term contract. Wait til
the Celtics hit the road - they could have one of the five worst records this
year and, really, isn't that what we fans want. I know I do. This
season is lost - except for the development of players you may keep like Blount
and Moiso. Brown, Carr, Stith, Potapenko won't be around in two
years. Whether or not this year's draft has any gems or not, it's really
the best chance for success in the future.
But,
you have over half a season to see if Moiso has the tools and to see if he "gets
it" at the NBA level or not.
A couple more thoughts on Pitino:
He never got the point guard
he needed. Wesley was not it. Neither was
Billups. Then he made the same
mistake several others made by thinking Kenny
was the man. Maybe his
successor will get one.
The "Press" (also known by many other
unflattering terms on this list) is
often blamed for so many of our woes
and often sighted as the reason Pitino
should have stayed in college. Does
anyone know how many minutes per game the
C's actually use the press? I
watch every game on Direct TV and I'd say that
the average is probably
around 5 minutes. Sometimes it's effective, sometimes
a mixed bag, and
sometimes a disaster. In itself it's a very small part of
the problem.
The perfect interim coach for this crew would have been M.L.
"Ping-Pong
Balls" Carr.
Was Palacio released because his game winning
shot hurt out lottery position?
At least no one else has that to worry
about.
While I'm disgusted with this season I'm still hopeful that
next year's team
will be better with a healthy Herren, the addition of
Sesar, a more prepared
Moiso, and our picks or whatever we get for them.
Hold on to the Boston pick
but if need be use the others to round out a
trade.
