MCW not happy with PT

Ok, but since I don't think anybody would call Brandon lazy, or say he doesn't care just because he is a quiet personality, then you could just as easily say that BT's cool demeanor is just as effective in crunch time as Scoop's or Dion's more emotional outbursts.

I prefer to think about all of Scoop's game winning and tying shots.

That's cool, he's a good player that has made more than his share of them... but he has also had his share of plays where he has stalled runs or contributed to critical 4-point swings due to stupid mistakes.

I think what I'm really trying to say about Triche is not that I have a problem with the cool/calm demeanor. That's a great thing if he consistently had it which would beat out Scoop or your average emotional athlete's attitude. But he is up and down. I will say that he is much more emotionally stable this season than before (does not hang his head, beat himself up, etc.) and stability comes with time. It's why a team of seniors is more likely to handle the pressure in a big game situation.

Triche may not have the Jordan-esque 2nd gear I'm taking over this game attitude like Waiters has shown, but if he learns to stay emotionally stable, keep his head up when things aren't going his way, and not be afraid to take what is his, I will change my opinion. At the end of the day I'm rooting for the guy.
