Why isn't Walter playing!?

[WalterHerrmannFan]

I don't understand this. We are losing all these games by large margins lately, and Walter hasn't been seen at ALL. Did I just imagine all those clutch moments that Walter excelled at last year towards the end of the season? Didn't he drop 16 off the bench a couple weeks ago? It's amazing, we are getting destroyed and Vincent just doesn't seem to care at all. Put Walter in the game!

Is he sick? Anyone have any news as to why he isn't playing?!

[Alex]

I don't understand it either. He should be one of our top reserves. It's not like our defense could suck any more than it already does anyway so what is there to lose?

[davcbow]

I dont think V likes Herrmann. He has done him this way since training camp. Herrrmann comes in and plays a good game but he still wont play him. I dont want to say this but I will, I think V stinks as a coach....

[Alex]

Can't we give him at least one season to prove himself? Like a buddy of mine said "The Milwaukee Bucks are considered a team with a low talent level in the NBA, and compared to the Bobcats they're like the San Antonio Spurs" and you know what guys he is right, we just don't have enough talent to compete, we just don't. Vincent is much better than BB was but it's still not showing, and lackluster play and just inconsistency are killing us. A few better substitutions here and there would not help the Bobcats get out of this 6 game losing streak right now, TRUST ME that is not the problem, our "star" players making some jumpers here and there would help that cause but they just don't seem to care or are just not good enough.

Vincent is much better than BB was but it's still not showing...

Not sure you can make that argument given the evidence. I'd take Bernie over Vincent; at least Bernie's teams played their asses of, generally, and they had less experience and talent than Vincent's group.

That said, I do have some empathy for Vincent: the guy needed a few more years riding shotgun before taking the next step. I say it's not his fault he was thrown to the wolves lacking in experience; it's management's fault for hiring him in the first place. I don't question his desire to succeed, but I do question his ability to translate this desire to his gameplan and his player's performance. I just hope this season, and it's inevitable disappointments, don't scar him for the rest of his career.

[Alex]

If he gets discouraged after only one season then good luck to him for the rest of his life in whatever he does because he won't be coaching NBA ball that's for sure.

By the way guys, it seems grim as hell right now riding this ugly 6 game losing streak but we're still just 16 games into an 82 games season, things can turn again, let's not lose hope yet.

that man is a warrior. he'll get his due. he'll show them.





but for that to happen he should be given consistent playing time. *sighs*

Coach V picks his favorits , Walter so far has been the only player not to get a chance. Dudley last night , Davidson the game befor. Mcinnis seems to be in favor over Felton go figure . Mcinnis seems to be in favor over Matt, Felton, D.A Walter. Dudley . Davidson.
Just look at some of the crazy lineups Mcinnis has played in. For sure hes not a defenvive stoper, And hes not a major offencive presenance. He should only back Felton up. THATS IT. Agreed Fabio could have helped in a lot of games so far given the chance. How in the hell do you take 20pts per game and stick it at the very end of your beanch and forget about it.

[ohara831]

Coach may feel that Fabio plays poor Defense and is a liability. Funny thing is, no one is playing good Defense on the team , so might as well play him. He does provide some solid offense. **I know people say he has to be open to hit his 3 pointers and cannot hit with a man in his face, but right now, they can say the same for J-Rich.

Yeah in this recap of last night's game, Coach is calling out his core players for not showing up basically to the game to perform. That's great but talk is cheap, let Walter and Davidson take up these minutes to really send a message to our starters, not just stirring stuff up in the press with meaningless words.
