The Bulls with Paxson and Skiles, the Knicks with Thomas and Brown, Golden State with Cohan and Nellie Yea it may be weird but I think it is accurate.

In Jamal's eyes, the fact that we've had the same head coach for 5+ years is stable. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is a whole different thread, but for a new player, that shows stability. The guy has been saying all the right things. What he has done on the court in the pre-season is exactly what we need. He's leaving one part, an important, part out - his ability to put the ball in the hole! We all know it's there, it's obvious by his track record. It's not a bad thing by any means, but the guy was brought here to score. He's not going to turn into Jason Kidd like he showed against the Wiz last night.
