That's Mr. Frankie Hambone to you, Lowenstein.
You aren't going to give him the benefit of the doubt? I'll grant you that he just paid someone to waste a Bulls shirt in the trash but will you return the favor by granting me that Thomas was only here for a minute and a half and didn't have an additional 4 1/2 months with the team most everyone else had? This includes Brad Miller too.
Had he and Miller been with the team there's no way Brad Miller misses those free throws. There's no way Tim Thomas doesn't step off that bench and score 21 a game against Boston (he does much better in the playoffs remember).
If you spent the season re-locating all your stuff from Los Angeles to New York to Chicago in just a few months with the pressures of keeping your family in tact I bet you'd miss your fair shair of shots too now wouldn't you?
If we take you and we say, "Alright, Mr. Lowenthal. Tell you what. You aren't going to work in Illnois no more. We're relocating you to Sacramento. Then a month and a half later we say, "Well Mark. You're moving again. You now work in Philadelphia. You start in 2 days. Good luck."
Are you still going to be able to be on the top of your game at work? Is your overall work performance going to go up...or will it go down? You may be as sincere as you can possibly be...you would probably still work as hard you do now...but there would be too many factors working against you.
Jet lag...weariness...getting the kids moved to schools...helping your wife cope with homesickness...keeping your family happy after being upfrooted not twice but thrice...
Oh yes.
What you got to say to that Mr. Radio Man? Huh?
All I'm saying is...if he was a Bull all year long he would have been more productive.
Frankie, I often wonder sometimes if your water source is spiked out there in China.
How does Thomas effect Miller's FT ability? Did you forget to take your pills this morning? When the hell did Thomas ever score 20ppg in a playoff series, let alone a season? The answer is NEVER.
Tim Thomas is mediocre at best. Maybe if he actually had any sort of work ethic whatsoever, teams wouldn't be shipping him off every other month for Lion King tickets & a bag of balls.
And Frank, Mark DID pick up & move, all the way to San Diego. And he's still at the top of his game! If I was getting paid $8mill to do my job, like your bff Tim Thomas, I'd go where ever they hell they told me to, with a smile on my face.
