    I think it means he wants to get Zach drunk and then take advantage of him, which if you read through this thread, some of the other posters would probably do as well.

    I know - check my post history if you want to see my complaints about Stotts - I'm reallllly trying to keep it in check. This is at least the 3rd game Anfernee should've received at least *some* minutes, in my humble opinion.

    Spurs, Magic, tonight off the top of my head.

    But at some point... WTF?

    Meh. I hate them because of the players they have and how they play. Harden and Paul are fucking douchebags. Howard before wasn't much better.

    Rocco is such a well known name in Italy. They use him to sell chips. I guess they really do things differently over there.

    Bro, Anfernee wasn't even active in those other games. At least know what you are talking about before you try to bring everyone down.

    He wasn’t even active. But let’s say he was. Minutes for what? What is he going to learn in mop up minutes? Even practices are more educational.

    Meh, I don't find Lin annoying. If I had to go through that much overt racism in my life just to become a basketball player. I might be a little overly sensitive too.

    Oh shit, Dame had 22 off of only 10 shots too. That means Nurk and Dame had 44 points on 20 shots. We won't lose many games with those kind of efficiency numbers.

    :dunno: He's a kid with no experience above the high school level. Compared to him, Collins came into the league a grizzled vet! I'm not the least surprised he isn't ready to play yet.

    Paul and Gordon had 29 points on 37 shots. Throw in Melo and they had 37 points on 49 shots.

    Lin never bothered me. Daniels was barely a blip. Parsons and Beverley though... ugh.

    All things considered, Melo just might be the worst player in the NBA.

    Can’t believe I was team melo a year ago.

    Not sure what's going on with the Rockets right now. That did not look like an NBA team

    "Bro", I never said he was active. That's the problem - he should've been. Wade Baldwin, who I don't recall playing a single minute, was active instead. What benefit is that to the team? Getting a bunch of DNP-CD's.

    Maybe try and have a conversation before saying "at least know what you're talking about", which seemingly questions someone else's intelligence. You might want to get the full scope of the issue before responding in such a manner. I also said - not taking away from the win - so I can tell your a real winner at life and a joy to be around.

    I don't know, maybe a thing called development? Get used to *actual* NBA players, speed, and executing the offense (and defense) in live game settings. As the gentleman below points out, HE NEEDS THE EXPERIENCE! Practices are in no way, shape, or form, more educational than actually playing... "Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth". Playing is getting punched in the mouth. There is a reason you play players to develop them. Oh, and some players are "game" players and some are "practice" players - and you need to play them for experience particularly when they are coming straight out of HS. At worst, it wouldn't hurt to get him some burn.

    Yeah, I don't doubt that he isn't ready to play but the best way to get him ready is to get him some live action. But as you said, he has limited experience. So he needs to get real, live experience somehow.

    I also said Collins should've been playing from game 1 last year. You don't draft these dudes then just let them waste away on the bench. Let him get his shit kicked in a couple times and use it as a learning experience.
