The upside, Joe has learned and is not letting Flip repeat the same crap with our current youngsters. |
Aren't you exaggerating a little bit?
How Delfino plays in Toronto isn't something what flip can control. And Hayes plays less minutes per game than Delfino. And keep in mind that toronto plays more open style than detroit: more shots, more open shots, more rebounds, more turnovers etc (read: more losses and first round exit)
