Right> letting Ben Wallace go. Been to the mountain top three times
with and succeeded only the first. His dollar demands weren't equal to
his worth. And he became challenging to Coach Saunders, tearing up a
fence that couldn't be mended. One or the other had to go!

Wrong> Not firing Saunders at the end of last season, it was clear he
lost complete control during the Cav's series and hasn't regained it
since.

Wrong,> not moving Sheed if Saunders is going to remain.

Wrong> not gaining the services of Allen Iverson in a swap for Billups
and Prince. And yes Prince is expendable.

Wrong > getting Terry Porter and Dave Cowens as assistance. Those jobs
should have been held by Laimbeer and Mahorn. Both more authoritative
and can look Sheed eye to eye. The exact place Saunders still has no
control.
Mahorn is good for defensive strategy and apathy among players. He
could keep Flip Murray and Nazr interested and ready.
But don't get me wrong, Porter is a very good coach but only at the head
coaching position.
He simply didn't have the personal with the Bucks.

Right> obtaining the services of Chris Webber.
His play , desire and ability moves this team well inside the perimeter
for easy lay ups and SHORT jumpers.

Right> Letting Darko and Arroyo go, allowing both to grow that wasn't
going to happen here.

Wrong> losing Mauric Evans, could be using his contributions now!

Right> activating Jason Maxiell who still needs many many more minutes
perhaps at the expense of Rasheed Wallace who needs a diminished role.

Right> not trading Antonio McDyss, sitting him down and stating just
because Webber is here doesn't mean you're going anywhere, same with
Dale Davis.

Wrong> not utilizing Hunter and Delfino in tandem.

Right>more usage of the zone defense to hide Webber's deficiencies.

Wrong > still focusing on the three point ball and not finishing fast
breaks.

Wrong> not sending Billups in a trade to Denver for Iverson.

Shaking head = again.

Why don't you just root for another team, cause it seems
you never are satisfied.

Every team has it's good and bads, but you seem to moan more
then enjoy what you have.

The last 4 years have been a great time - but you cannot win every game
everyday, everytime.

I just don't get you !

In truth we should be working on our at least our third championship
with this crew.

It ain't happen', got to be a reason.....

The last two seasons aren't successes!

OK, letting the Ben go seems to have been a good idea

You can not suggest moving the coach without offering a replacement. I guess
you can but
it's not very helpful.

> Wrong,> not moving Sheed if Saunders is going to remain.

Sorry, no reason to move Sheed. He's fine right where he is.

AI will show his 'headcase' colours soon enough.

Laimbeer is lazy. Mahorn might have been a good idea.

Forget keeping Nazr interested. His accquisistion is only surpassed in
uselessness by Chicago signing B. Wallace.

Absolutly Right. And I will admit I was skeptical.

I liked Arroyo off the bench. But He was, indeed, bound to flourish
elsewhere.

>

No.

Yes.

Yes

Maybe. I think Delfino can be moved now.

>

OK.

More than just not finishing breaks. They often have trouble finishing any
kind of play.

>

NO Iverson. No Iverson. Iverson no.

Thanks for playing
