Yes, it would be too much. The man is ill and giving it all. If you only have 30 percent and you give 30 percent, you gave a hundred percent.

Now, is it too much to ask Joe not to play an ill player who doesn't have it? No, it's not too much. Joe is the one who has to get his stuff together.

I think we'll find out early if this team wants to fight or just put down their weapons

stupid pass jrue

[jpotter33]

So it takes JT rupturing his Achilles for Joe to put JB on Brunson. Brilliant.

Several of us were calling for this the last several games, especially as awful as he is off the ball.
