Al Harrington Wants to Shoot … Less?!
Tough times for Al Harrington of late. Not only has the newly-acquired Chris Webber stolen his starting spot in Golden State, but now the versatile Harrington must deal with the indignity of being labeled “just” a three-point specialist.
As you might guess, he isn’t the most cheerful guy in the world these days.
“I’ve been trying to mix it up more. And hopefully, as coach sees me doing that, he’ll gain some confidence in me and I’ll be in a position to make plays, instead of just shooting the ball all the time.”
“No, I’m not OK with it,” Harrington said of his duties as a 3-point specialist. “But that’s what coach asked of me, and that’s what’s going to keep me on the court, so that’s what I’m going to do.”
An NBA player actually wanting to shoot less. Christ. Now, I’ve seen everything.

HaHa but i think it hurts Al’s ego a bit, being replace with a 35 yr old who can’t run….

B diddy and S-Jax are already the go to 3 point guys. Maybe he realises he needs to vary his game to get some time.

Nelly’s leaning a lot more towards “crazy” and a lot less towards “genius” these days.

Why not have BDiddy play center and CWebb play the point? Those are 2 incredible match up problems. For both the Warriors and their opponents, for both defensive and offensive purposes.

He sounds upset. Mullin needs to come back and show him what’s what. And why not bring back Brokeback Timmy for a no homo bonding session?

Poor Al, heard he had to give away Super Bowl tickets, cause Nelly arranged a practice so Webber can settle in better.

Well, the good news for Al Harrington is that if the Warriors stint doesn’t work he can always go back to selling wacky waving inflatable flailing tube men.

Surely Donatello would do more than shoot the spot up 3 ball!?!

It’s nice to see a player that just does what he is told to do an accept his role. Kinda sickening seeing teams that are ME ME ME.

Well, either way, Golden State has Chicago tonight and according to http://pregame.com, the Warriors are 2-8 ATS (against the spread) after coming off two days of rest. Perhaps that should be Harrington’s focus. I got money to make!
