The guy was still our leading scorer, and it wasn't very close. Isn't it fair to say, if we're saying our best win was without him that it's also possible that we would have lost more games without him? Some of the losses would have been bigger losses without his big numbers?

I try not to rip the players, so maybe i'm not 100% objective, but i hate seeing this guy get so much scorn and wrath. The "he quit" thing, "not a winning player" thing... 'no heart...' No one knows what was in his head or heart, or what he was dealing with. How many times have we seen a player have a down/disappointing year, and then the season ends and we find out he was playing at 75% and needs surgery? He was playing through injury, trying to game it out... We don't know.

I trust that he was in the games, and if he was on the floor, he was trying. As i have said plenty of times before, when a battle is lost, you don't blame the soldiers, you look at the Generals. He was in a bad system and collectively, the team crashed.
