Problem was, and this problem has been adressed by now, was that you never knew what flip jr, lindsey or blalock were going to do. Delfino and Dice were solid, but a lot of this solidness depended on how beforementioned ballhandlers did their job.

Flip has allowed afflalo and stuckey to play through theri mistakes cuz they are young and learning, so you can hope they will "delete" their bad habits. But flip jr and LH are vets: mistakes allowed to rookies shouldn't be allowed to vets. That's why inconsistent mins for bench last year.

I have tried to offer more rationalized explanations why Flip does this or that cuz all those emotional bashings are...stupid.

Yes. It's great to see fans so passionate, but not so irrational at times.

Implicit in this is the idea that Flip is rational, and that emotion does not play a strong role in NBA coaching. I'm not sure either is warranted.

Stupid? Stupid is as stupid does. We're the ones paying to watch a children's game.

NO. Hayes keeps his mouth shut and gives us some games of playing well, some not so well. Delfino whined and cried and couldn't play inside his team's system. Good riddance!

Are you posting on the Toronto board about how well their coach is using Delfino?

Jerry Chokehouse comes through again.

2-9 FG, 3 PF in 29 minutes starting.

Avery Johnson isn't rational.

Grant Hill had 5 pts and 7 rbs in 28 minutes. Not what one would've expected.

I'll give you three guesses as to why.

I don't think I need any guesses when it comes to Grant Hill. He should've come to Detroit and limited his time. His body just can't take all that playing.
