I didn't think Mikki had a low BBIQ, but now I wonder. Outside of a couple decent games, he's been pretty terrible. I hope he gets it together soon, especially with Leon hurt.

Get well soon, Leon!

Baby was perfect last night. So smart. The came up on him, he drove by. They dropped off, he knocked down the jumper.


Exactly. This is the same trap a lot of people fell into a few years back. There's a difference between overvaluing guys and rightly pointing out their limitations/ceilings...

if he cut that hideous hair of his maybe he'd play better, I guess its complex over his skinny body that he grows his hair, either his head is bigger than his body or it looks like a peanut compared to his body if its short, and do you call that a body of a 7 footer or ethiopian marathon runner ?

this should be the rotation in the playoff

PG rondo/marbury
SG allen/house
SF pierce/tony/walker
PF scal/powe/KG
C davis/perk

Agreed. Cetlics should roll with that. BUT, they have to get Powe healthy or Moore will be in the playoff rotation. :-?

^I was saying the same thing about his shite hair when we signed him a few weeks back :lol:

Moore is not very good, let's be honest...too bad we didn't end up swinging that trade for Nocioni instead, oh well...

If Moore was very good he wouldn't have been released. But he can still get back to his Jersey form which he isn't even close to yet. Likewise Starbury can get back to his normal Knick level of play..

Normal level of play for Strawbury is disrupting teams i dont think u want that..

I'll say one thing about Moore: He's a distraction from fans focusing more on Marbury's struggles. The frustration is geared more toward him. I'm not too bothered by Moore seeing as I'd said from the beginning that I wasn't on board with him. He's tall and lanky. That's it. Oh, and he's an "energy" guy.

I would prefer to see Scalabrine get his minutes upon his return. Every time Moore has a bad game, I think of Scalabrine and remember how well he was playing before his concussions. This team needs Scalabrine and Powe back.
