dude, you're free to praise whoever whenever however you want. it's just that there's some posters on this board that like to use the term "knee-jerking" way too liberally to anyone who has a negative response to what they feel as too short of a time frame for analysis . . . all i'm saying is that if knee-jerking is a just a quick analysis based on short time frame, then you're knee-jerking as well. i mean, how the hell do we know if walker can continue what he's been doing when he's only played 5 games . . . anyways, i have no problem with your praise of walker. he deserves it. but i don't think bashing those who have the contrary opinion is necessary as well, unless they're criticizing walker just for the hell of it . . .
and nve was far more of a team player before nelson intervened . . . walker's already taking a lot of shots (not a criticism per se) . . . i'm just wondering what a bit more pride, a little bit of nelson intervention (saying he's not shooting enough), and bit more comfort with the team will do to his shot production and selection later on . . . my guess is that could increase so that it's a detriment to the team, but we'll see . . . like i said, this could all work out well, but i still need to see way more games to make full judgment on this . . .
although i will admit that saying that we should TRADE walker already is a bit extreme . . . i can't tell if you're criticism is based on that or based on the fact that walker shouldn't even be criticzed at this point .
