    the fact that they aren't communicating on the court probably means they aren't communicating off the court which is sad.

    No point in calling a meeting. These guys don't show up for the games, what makes you think they'll show up for a meeting?

    They seem to have short term memory, so perhaps a weekly players/coaches meeting can help them remain focus.

    Bring back Hayes again to call one like the old days then cut him again.

    Codman has said that there have been several meetings but not every player attended and it involved the coaches too. In some meetings were some players in the other meetings were some other players.
    No sense of urgency or togetherness.

    if that is true then McHale is soft, the players don't respect him. He has lost the team, time to get fired.

    If they do, let's hope we don't hear about it. The media knowing about it is not a good thing.

    harden after losses so far this season:

    "we're not worried"
    "it's a long season"
    "it's just 1 game"
    "we'll figure it out we're not worried at all"

    No worries. We only need a Philly game to wake up and turn it around. The good news is, there are only 5 more games to go.

    All the forum members who are panicking, can't sleep or complete daily tasks should be required to attend.

    Those of us who are reasonably concerned and disappointed by our favorite sports team being off to a surprisingly slow start at the beginning of the season can attend a different members meeting.

    and another meeting for LOFs who want to strike a plan to bring Lin back into the role that Lawson hasn't been able to fill.

    Good. Shows they at least somewhat give a damn.

    This is nice but it's not like they haven't already publicly acknowledged their problems. Ty is aware he is being too passive. Several guys (Ariza, Harden, etc) have said they need to pick up the defensive effort. Idk. While I hope this meeting really was constructive, I'm not going to invest too much in quotes like this. They need to show it on the court instead of talking to reporters about it.
