Re: Antoine needs new moves and more finesse

It's too bad that some people refuse to see any of the positives he brings
to the court.  Some just like to point out weaknesses alone.  Remember about
a month ago when I said I would not be surprised to see them playing better
on the road?

The team gives a good solid effort most nights, Pitino is gone, but they
still must have a bone of contention.  toine is the obvious choice I guess.
If he is scoring, they point to a low assist total. If he is passing, they
point to a low rebound total.  If he's rebounding, they jump on a bad
shooting percentage and ignore anything else he does.  Which is why I sent
my sarcastic and misunderstood post after his defensive effort on the last
play of the most recent game, a game in which he played every minute.

Sure he has weaknesses but name a player who doesn't?  I do not find it fair
to lambaste the guy when he has subpar performances.  By the way, where were
they when he played well on the last road trip?  That is what is so terribly
obvious about certain posts.  At least Forant would begrudgingly give credit
when he/they played well.
