But that's exactly her point. It may be his strength, but in order to play to his individual strength, you play against the team concept (or what Nate has defined as the team direction). But I'm sure any coach who doesn't let Telfair play "his way" must be a horrible coach in your eyes.

I can't help but just roll my eyes since so many people were so freaking eager to bash Damon when he was here for shooting the ball and now everyone wants Telfair to start scoring more and more. I agree that a PG should be able to hit a shot now and then but since they get the ball down the court, their first obligation is to get everyone involved and play to the TEAM'S strengths against the opposition.

I'd be interested to know how many people would like to have Stephon Marbury as their primary PG....
