    As of late, Krstic's play has been erratic. One game he'll score 20, another he'll score 10, and the next he'll go scoreless. He just can't find consistency. With the importance of games to Frank as of late, the coach just can't find the time to allow Krstic to regain confidence and consistency. The fact that his defense sucks and his rebounding has been inconsistent doesn't help much either.

    So, with that said, do you think Krstic will make a come back next season? Does it look like he'll ever recover to the player he used to be? And do you think he'll become one of the missing pieces, in post scoring, that we've needed this season?

    Also, what does his inconsistency so far mean for his offseason? Qualifying offer, or an extended contract?

    i hope he comes back, but i hope its not for an outragous contract that he financial restricts us for years to come... wait nevermind... the offseason. i really hope we can get better, and get what we need and get rid of the useless baggage.

    Kristic out. this team has NO defense. hes a softer who lives for the jump shot that he makes occasionally. when was the last time he scored 20. the team shouldve traded him when he was injured. they couldve have a great big man with A LOW POST GAME. we havent had a player like that since k mart. trade the guy. injury prone & absolutly NO inside game. offence and defense. we should get a player like that Jason Maxiell guy in Detroit

    He's inconsistent, but all I take from that is that he's not 100%, not that he's never going to get better. Compare his play now to the all-star break, or even the beginning of the season. Sure he's not where he should be, but the improvement is obvious.

    If the Spurs want him, they can have him for all I care. He use to be my favourite but he has blown this year.

    NBA players should not follow up a 20 something point night with not even ten. I blame this on our team which has no offensive focas.

    I think hes fine, just not getting as many touches.

    I don't think Carter has played that pick n pop game with Krstic this season like the other years. They used to have great chemistry, Carter needs to do that again.

    I have no faith in Krstic. The only time he scores is againt bad big men who don't rototate out to contest jump shots. Look what happened against Pheonix. Not saying Shaq is bad but he didnt even attempt to come out on jumpers so he hits like 5 first quarter, then as soon as he's guarded he misses everything else. Not what we need.

    How is it that you believe Kenyon had a low post game and Jason Maxiell has a low post game, but that Krstic does not?

    Yes, the Nets ran some offensive plays where they isolated Kenyon on the block, but from a pure basketball standpoint, Krstic has better footwork than Kenyon and a larger variety of post moves and counters.

    Max also doesn't have a low post game. His interior points come from put backs and excellent passing in the Pistons offense.

    Kenyon and Max are two of my favorite players in the NBA and I've watched each of them since they were college freshman.
