Mikki Moore is calling out the coaching staff, apparently because he's not getting looks since Beno Udrih lost feeling in his finger (!!) after the Philadelphia game. As section214 joked to me, this is what it sounds like when lobsters cry.
Francisco Garcia makes me smile. So does the trust Reggie Theus puts into the young man.
Sam Amick has more on Moore and Ron-Ron on his blog.
Shoals opines on John Salmons' plight near the end of this week's FanHouse column.
I'm heading up BallHype's new Spotlight Series project, which will invite the best from the blog world to write on specific themes. Our first piece is up, and if I can say so, it's excellent. Joey from Straight Bangin' with a revisionist history of the Knicks.

Not sure if this one has been posted here yet, but I came across this on TrueHoop. Some interesting, if not disturbing stuff on Artest from an "anonymous" scout.

Just when I was pretty much won over by the athleticism and energy he brings to the team, he goes and bitches about the coaching staff just because he couldn't score more than 4 points in his big return to Jersey.

He actually said that he "expected more" out of the coaching staff. Well, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle an underachieving douche...

He's a freaking jackass

Saying that kind of thing after a win? Dude should ride the pine for a few games as punishment.

Also

From Sam Amick's blog:

"Like I said, it's a growing thing with our team. We're trying to change the culture. We're trying to play defense. We never played defense in Sac."

STFU Mikki, you can't speak to what Sac did or didn't do in the past. We are only talking about a few years ago that this team was a championship contender and that team played solid, if not spectacular, defense.

What Mikki needs

Set the hot tub to boil and draw some hot butter.

As a teammate how can your post game comments not be about Salmons' career high or Garcia's huge production off the bench or the effectiveness of your front line partner (Miller) or your concern over Beno's injury or your appreciation for all of your teammates carrying your sorry ass on an off night and delivering you a victory against your (most recent) old team?

Mikki Moore - our very own Crustacean the Clown.

SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!

Mikki...

I think a good nickname for this guy would be, "Needs To Contribute". Imagine an announcer introducing him as Mikki "Needs To Contribute" Moore!!!!!!!

poor judgment

I love the way Moore supports his teammates on the sidelines regardless of his personal play. So, I am surprised by his rather thoughtless comments. I just reeked of a "me" mentality despite the fact that he really acts like a team guy during the games.

A stupid, silly, childish remark.

Moore ranting

He said he expected more from the coaching staff. WTF does that mean? More plays called for him? More butter for the claws?

Rant isn't exciting me

Sac is hitting these big 3 balls and they're taking control of the game. But if they weren't hitting the 3's, which happens much of the time,.....here comes the sprinklers.....Rant never say that again please...sigh he takes all the fun out of the game...ugh...I hate rant have I mentioned this?
