I really don't think he has!!!!
What will really make your stomach cringe is when you think back to last season when the Hawks were after him. We could have been rid of his contract if we made a trade with them last season.
He has failed to contribute this year, but last year and the previous year he was doing pretty well for the minutes he was played...Larry just sometimes ruins players, because he wants them to play his way, which of course is the right way...Matt did well for the biscuit because the "type of offense" if you can call it that, was pretty much run and gun and hope to get it in...matt camping in the corner in 3 point range, catch and shoot when McInnis, Felton or GW passed to him in desperation, and he did quite well. He was VERY dialed in on that corner 3 pointer, the way Ammo has been this season for a lot of quarter enders with seconds to go. Larry wants a 2 guard to do more than go camping in the corner waiting for the play to come to him and matt is not that player, so he's not a larry player and if/when we can ship him to a team that will use the 2 guard camping technique and wants to pay him what we wanted to pay him.
All the above said, Matt is probably one of the nicest guys on the team, and provides quite a moral backbone... Every time I've seen him interact with the kids its been unreal...Last year there was a group of kids at a game in Feb, he remembered their names from the Kids Club Christmas party, to me thats just crazy, considering he's getting paid millions and has his own life and stuff to worry about. Don't get me wrong, we actually have a pretty good bunch, no drug stuff floating around, no shooting themselves in the leg, no soliciting for gay love... but I mean Matt defines what I'd like to see in a player off the court.
What to do, what to do...
LOL! Eddy Curry would love him!
I guess that's why ice-hockey is so popular among Afro-Americans. Come on, this is stupid argument however it could be partially true.
i think it's a terrible argument
Matt is a spot up shooter if the team was getting him open shots his numbers would be a lot better. I am glad we can't trade him b/c he is slightly overpaid. If he went to a team like the Knicks where he was playing for dantoni he would light it up. Once our team gels a little more his numbers will improve.
i disagree, i've seen him take plenty of open shots in the last couple of games, particularly when he was starting., his shot is just not falling
Is it stupid? YES
Is it true? YES!!!
Every game I have gone to I have heard at least one old white guy (but usually more) ask who the white player is, and compliment him for making the team...and then they say they might come see him play
I hate it, it shows that the world isn't as civilized as it should be, but it is a fact of life and Carroll benefits from it.
