Players on bad teams don't deserve swaggers.
Steve Francis: I Need My Swagger Back
http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/64009.htmSteve Francis said he needs to get his "swagger" back, along with his minutes. I don't have my swagger right now," Francis said before the Knicks' 105-90 loss to the Wizards. "I really haven't been playing up to my capability. Somehow over the next 10 games going into the summer, it will help to get my swagger back and go out there and ball."
"It's cool," Francis said of the switch. "It's not something new to me. I've been starting point guard for seven years but I've never been starting point guard for the Knicks. I just want to play. Everything else will take care of itself."

I disagree there WTC. Sometimes you play a little bit better if you feeling it, and for the love of the game. There isn't any love there, or swagger so I'm going to agree with Francis on this one.WTChan said:Players on bad teams don't deserve swaggers.
yah, players need to be complimented sometimes, which is exactly the opposite of what larry brown does. but little compliments can boost players' confidences in which also helps their swagger.

Francis isn't as skilled as a lot of the other "star" type players in the league. He needs that swagger and to be playing with a sort of reckless abandon to be successful. He is an attacker. He isn't a cerebral guy who can go out and pick the game apart.

I just read the other thread about Nate and his showboating. Is the skill level a factor here, or could it be a double standard? Or is it just that Nate takes it too far?Kitty said:I disagree there WTC. Sometimes you play a little bit better if you feeling it, and for the love of the game.

Nate and Francis AND PARTLY STEPH is how this team needs to be built. Around " swagger" type guys. What we NEED to do is dump Larry so he doesn't rip our guys' manhoods right in front of there very own eyes. This is a team on the rise not a team ready for a challenge to resist like that.
marbury needs to go,forget him.
stevie and jamal have good chemistry in the back court. francis played decent today.

I'm sorry for the analogy to those offended but it's the truth
The knicks are like a 16 year old kid and Larry is like the High School teacher that had sex with/ hit on the 16 year old at school. The 16 year old isn't ready for that type of behavior and doesn't know how to deal with it. It's the best example I could come up with but Im sure most of you know what I mean
