I'm surprised this made it by without comment...

I want to see Gabe back - TA is a worst PG in the league... time to gamble -
or to sign Payton... (well... )

TA's well known as the "1.5 dribble man" - I'm severely amazed by Doc
insisting playing TA at the point. This experiment failed from the get go. I
assume Doc trusted his 2/3 with the ballhandling, but there is a bit more
game playing the point in his system than just that. I do NOT want to see TA
more than 5-7 mpg, enough is enough!!! <pissed off... >
