How many games have we seen where Big Al dominates for a quarter (like last night) but then resorts to turnovers and stupid fouls (silly blocks and reaches) instead of just playing tough aggressive D? He's a huge improvement over Murphy and Dunleavy but man I get frustrated watching him. Maybe he's frustrated too because even though he was the only one shooting last night he only got 12 shots whereas Baron got 14 and SJax 21.

It's like when he gets beat, gets impatient or maybe tired from fighting stronger players, he just decides that its okay to try do that. I still feel that the worst thing about Harrington is how he finishes at the rim kind of weak and how he often times tries to look for his own shot a la Troy Murphy. I wish we could see if Brandan Wright is a better inside scorer because we need some kind of guy that can catch and finish and won't settle for threes. Also be nice if we can rebound more of somebody else's misses rather than his own. The intriguing thing that I want to see Wright do over Al Harrington is 1.) rebound 2.) pass out of the low post 3.) emulate what Biedrins does when Biedrins is off the floor. Biedrins is at what? 220 pounds? I'm sure throwing in Wright at center makes a lot more sense than Barnes or Sjax at center.
