As far as Carmine, his love for poor shooting shooting guards needs to stop!
He's not poor. I just underestimated Norm's defense (on his own players ) and how much of a viable alternative Hardy boyz would be and how much guard play by commitee there would be.
He should have just thrown up more three's this season as his 38% from 3 is great. FT shooting? Not so great.
Norm was able to hold every player on his team but Prez to not one single 20 point evening. When D-Buckets would get close to it, Norm would sub him out.
Perhaps he'll do it in the last game and the tourney where he shouldn't be looking over his shoulder for the hook.
He's still my favorite player if not for his often attempts, usually failed, to posterize opposing bigs alone. He's still our best leaper, defender and most exciting player.
But in the end, I was wrong.
