well...McCants is hitting shots again...2 games doesn't count as consistency, though. PLEASE continue to produce and be consistent McCants, we need you!

Maybe we should reserve judgment until more than 1 quarter has been played huh big3? :lol:

McCants could be a consistent scorer if he just stayed out of foul trouble.

Yea I remember that. I didn't like it but Casey is known as a great teacher of the youth. He may have taken too long with Rashad but he got results.

Rashad was playing way better when Casey let him loose in the nd. He brought him along very well and at the time we were trying to win now so there wasn't much of a reason to let a rook get heavy minutes if he was going to make ,mistakes.

But Casey definitely had his issues, however he was rookie coach. He was learning just like the rookies he coached and he was hard worker. I think he just needed to be in a different situation. I think he needed to be on a rebuilding team where he would have had time to make mistakes and learn from them.

The wolves wanted to win now and they didn't have time to wait on Casey, I understand that but then why hire Wittman if you are going to rebuild? They should have kept Casey for our current situation. I think Wtt is more suited for a veteran team, he doesn't seem to have the patience or ability to teach the youngins properly.

yeah but the game is already over. and I said it that I can live with it but it won't get us that close to them. the mavs are way better today

but why isn't richard playing??

Yeah, but we were never really in the game, so really ALL the baskets could be called stat padding, plus he's doing what he's supposed to do. Make baskets. Plus McCants didn't get many minutes earlier in the game due to foul trouble. I guess I just don't see how he's stat padding...

I actually haven't been 100% seruios with my post but let's say we agree to disagree.

No i smell a victory tomorrow. One that will send Miami into a horrible downward spiral that somehow nets them the #1 pick in the draft next year.

I agree with Jim. Foye can make us a better team and help us become more consistent, but it will also apply more pressure to win more than lose with Foye in the lineup.

lol, yeah, I ate my words...and clearly I'm happy about it, because my avatar is evidence that I'm a big McCants fan...plus we need him to produce.

since we'll only get the 4th pick anyway I could care less who gets #1 pick

LOL McCants owned that fool!

theGreatRC · Post #95 » by **theGreatRC** » Sun Jan 6, 2008 10:50 pm

Okay Jim Pete made another good point. Foye and McCants back court will be an interesting combo.

Foye didn't play a single 30+ minute game in December either...but he did have a 6 minute and 7 minute game

dang, McCants is ballin'

Ok here is what we need to do. Give Rashad and Al the green light in the first. Let Rashad do his thing

Heck, we should roll with Grren too at times, at least he is capable of hitting jumpers. What's there to lose? We aren't getting any better anyway.

I have been saying this for some time now. We need to let McCants get started early and we need an outside threat for when they start throwing double and triples at Big Al.

And I didnt think about it till Jim said it but Foye and McCants have never even really played together. Only for a small period of time when McCants got back last year, but neither got major burn.

Screw Mayo and Gordon, our backcourt looks fine. Drafting either Mayo/Gordon only further hurts the development and confidence of McCants.
