Now I know how Bill Murray felt. Everyday I've gotten up expecting something out of this team. Everytime I'm dissapointed. This is starting to be depressing. Is the proof in the pudding? Is this who we really are? I gotta admit, ugly offense or not, other than the 22 winning streak I've enjoyed this team far more when JVG was here. With this roster we should be doing far better and instead we play under our potential. Firing RA is not realistic. I wish we had never let go of JVG now but things are what they are. Since we can't do that as there is no Phil Jackson out there to motivate our players, what is the solution?
Once again, I wish we had never let go of JVG. Last year we still had JVG in their heads, this year opponents are running rampant on them. I hope a healthy Battier/Artest will help but they've shot lights out with them on the court this season before. RA was supposed to bring offense. Well, we score more than with Jeff but we lose to scrubs repeatedly. That rarely happened before RA was here. I don't mean to blame everything on him because he is not the sole perpetrator, but he needs to be held accountable. Defense is desire, grit and effort, knowing where to be and being fully prepared. That's on the coach to implement that on his team, specially with a roster that year in and out has proven to be a defensive powerhouse. "No layups" has become "layup drill" instead.
