Turkoglu

Who exactly told Hedo Turkoglu that he is a great player, because his every movement gives you the impression that he thinks he is great?
   I am watching the Phoenix/Denver game tonight and my wife asked me if that is really his name.  I asked her what she was talking about and she said that I always call him "That Fucking Turkoglu" (Known as TFT, from now on).  She is right; I always call him that because he fucks everything up.
   I talk to myself.  When you live in a bubble, who else is there to talk to?  My wife doesn't like sports, so when I watch games on T.V. I vocalize my thoughts.  My dear wife has heard me call him that name many, many times.  We used to get pretty much every Raptor game last year and he was horrible.  He came from Orlando thinking that he was  going to be the star of the Raptors and lead them to glory.  What a joke.  
  Now I will admit that he has some nice offensive skills; such as handling the ball, passing and occasionally he gets in a streak from behind the arc. Like a former assistant coach of mine (in name only!) used to say about one of our players, "She a great shooter; when she's hot, she never misses." Duh.  Isn't everyone a great shooter when they are hot? The problem is that she was only hot two games out of ten.  That's TFT.  He is occasionally hot and he thinks he is a great shooter, so he shoots all the time.  Shall we should explore why he is open and gets a lot of looks from behind the arc?  Could it be because the other teams let him shoot?  Dean Smith had a tall stiff from Germany named Zwikker who took an ill advised shot.  When coach Smith mentioned that it wasn't a very good shot, Serge said "But coach, I was wide open."  Coach Smith replied that maybe while he sat on the bench he should consider why the other team left him wide open.  By the way, I did not know that tuna came from Germany, but Zwikker proves that it does.
  The most success TFT had was when he was surrounded by star players that the other team had to guard, leaving TFT wide open most of the time.  Wouldn't you rather have TFT shoot 3's as opposed to Dwight Howard dunking every shot?  Or perhaps teams would rather have TFT shoot scud missiles from outside rather than let Chris Weber or Vlad Divac score from two feet.  Yes he made the occasional big shot but let's not confuse him with great money players in the NBA. Remember the old saying, "You throw enough shit enough against the wall, some of it will stick." TFT puts up a lot of shit!

    Despite some offensive skills,  he has so many holes in his game it is not funny. Have you watched him try to play defense?  Last year the Raptors had no chance when the games were close.  Every team would simply get TFT's man to run screen roll and it was either a basket, a foul or both.  You put TFT with Calderon and it was laughable.  Calderon, the Prince look-alike,  can't guard a fucking fence post and he is ten times the defender TFT is.  When the other team ran screen roll against TFT and Calderon, it was kiddies day at the fair.  Then TFT would come down and try to be the hero and win the game by over-handling the ball and shooting a shot that had absolutely no chance of going in.  Granted not every player wants to take those last second, game on the line shots, but just because you want to take the shot doesn't mean that you should.
    TFT had a lot of nerve to whine his way out of Toronto, as if it was an organization problem that made him bad.  No, no, no. You are bad Turkoglu.  Now you are bringing down Phoenix. I hope your next team is the Istanbul Invaders of the T. B. A.
