I agree on most of your points - #1 is that Woody is not a "developmental" coach at all. He doesn't have the mindset for modern NBA players. He seems vindictive at times. I would love to have the inside scoop (so I'm only guessing) but I would bet ten dollars to a doughnut (had to change that old saying because a doughnut almost costs a dollar now) that the owners had to intercede in the Woody vs Josh halftime situation at Charlotte. IMHO Woody is stubborn and not all that bright.

I totally agree on the MArio situation. The guy should be getting minutes. Granted he can't hit the side of a barn when shooting - but his energy and D is outstanding.

We do need depth at the big spots, bigtime - BK p!ssed away many a (high) 2nd round draft pick instead of getting guys like Milsap, Gomes, or Big Baby. Milsap and Gomes were right there in our lap - we didn't have the pick to get Baby but we could have made a move.

Concerning Acie - yes - I think Woody is messing that situation up. My guess is that Woody is looking at short-term goals to keep his paycheck. Understandable to a degree - but it doesn't help the team long-term. I seriously doubt Acie will be the next Mr. Bigshot - but you never know. The fact that Woody has a "doghouse" is proof IMO that he isn't up to snuff as a real NBA coach. We got rid of one problem - we need to get rid of the other.

It seems hard to root for Woodson's pink slip because it seems like the only way he'll leave is if we get upset in the playoffs...

Excellent post. Keep this blog updated, man! This is some good stuff...

Haha, you already know this forum better than most of us here! But I don't think I should be on it, really. I try to help others out, but I don't contribute as much as some other members do in terms of basketball talk and whatnot. Walter, Atlas, NJHAWK, etc. All these guys contribute more than I'll ever be able to. I just read the posts that these guys make worthy to read. :)
