when you are aware of us not making the extra pass, getting back into the post why do you allow it? i will probably get a lot of flack for this but Phil Jackson a great coach obviously would never allow that crap his team to settle for constant jumpers and jump shoot a 14pt lead away

I thought Tommy's comments the other night were pretty telling.  It seemed to me that he was being critical of Doc.  I know he is a like a sacred cow around here, but I don't think he has done a good job the last 20 or so games.

Doc gives a great post game interview. Is not clear how much of this is would have, could have or how much of this analysis is communicated to the players during the game. Post game tweaks can backfire, if they are seen as cheap shots by the players.

Well, I'd start holding him accountable when the team is playing at full speed.  I mean the day we get Jermaine O'Neal back, Krstic goes down, forcing us to play the next night with O'Neal as our only true center and Jermaine not having the conditioning yet to play big minutes. 

Had we had even Krstic, I'm not sure we even get put in the position we're in. 

I guess for us, we won't really be able to to say we're at full speed until the playoffs.
