His coach told him to play the #4. In the middle of a game. After he

Well I was unaware of this and I guess that would be immature but what
does this have to do with what TT and vanhorn are doing now??
Vanhorn when with the nets refused to play SF when asked by his coach.
he said that he only wanted to play PF and when he was traded to 76ers
they kind of forced him to play SF. So what?? They are both spoiled!
And this means what to us working stiffs???

Tim Thomas is, or at least should be, a basketball player.
Players play where they are told to play. For ten millions
dollars a year, Thomas can play where he is told.

OK fine you sound like a broken record.
Again I ask...
Isn't this the end of this boring thread?
If this still bothers you drive to MSG and tell Tim Thomas how you
feel I am sure it will have the same effect thatit has here.

TT is a cry baby that doesn't do what his coach tells him to do.

> TT is a SF!
That may be his best position, but if his coach tells him to play something
else, his job is to do what he's told to do. If TT has a problem with that,
he needs to be a coach.

> Isn't that the end of this thread?
As long you as understand that TT doesn't always do what his coach tells him
to do, and that he's willing to disrupt the entire team and lose a game
because of his immaturity.

Let me reset what I said earlier in this thread, this trade was one
underperforming forward for another underperforming forward. Perhaps a
change of scenery will do them both good.

We understand that KVH hadn't lived up to expectations. That's why he was
available. But we don't need trolls coming in from the Knicks group telling
us what a loser KVH is while TT is going to take the Knicks to the promised
land, because as much of a loser KVH may have been, TT was every bit as much
of a loser, if not more.

KVH plays the #4 spot, which is a need for the Bucks. He is playing
alright, certainly as well or a little better than TT did. TT plays the #3
spot (and ONLY the #3 spot, based on his past actions). If that's a need
for the Knicks and he performs well, good for the Knicks! As Buck Fan, I am
happy with this deal.

We thought maybe getting rid of George Karl would help out TT. We got rid
of Big Dog a year ago so TT could start. We got rid of Ray Allen so maybe,
maybe, someone would pass the ball to TT. We got a good, young players
coach in Terry Porter. None of this seemed to make TT play up to his
abilities - which are enormous. If he can do so for the Knicks, then good
for TT and the Knicks. The Bucks tried everything possible to help this
guy, and he just didn't respond. Meanwhile KVH is an upgrade for our team
and I, for one, am happy with that. Is it too much for Knick Fan to think
that maybe, just maybe, BOTH teams benefited from this trade?

What the basis of the assertion that Tim Thomas is a small
forward, and the dubious implication that Thomas is only a small
forward? I don't see small forward stenciled on to Thomas's
ass. Do you. Larry Johnson played a credible power forward and
Johnson was about four inches shorter than Thomas. Kurt Thomas
plays power forward, well, and Kurt is no taller than Tim.

Tim Thomas is perfectly capable, albeit if not willing, to play
power forward. If asked to do so, he should.

He was asked to do so. In the middle of a game. And he refused to go in.
Did he offer up a part of his paycheck for his little hissy fit strike?
Nooooooooooo.

Like I said before....
If this still bothers you drive to MSG and tell Tim Thomas how you
feel I am sure it will have the same effect that it has here.

This similar to what the Knicks did with Spree. Spree was a 2 guard and the
Knicks wasted him playing SF. He played it without complaint but it was
obvious he was out of position. Spree plays SG much better than small
forward.

Not at all. Best wishes! Since we as fans have absolutely no effect on
the outcomes of trades. It is our duty to sit back and bitch and moan
since this is the only place our voices can be heard albeit to other
bitchers and moaners.
