Tactical, not attitudinal makes it sound like a coaching issue. Attitudinal would imply more of an issue with the players themselves.
That Harden wasn't saying it with an attitude. Like he wasn't meaning "we need no agendas.... Dwight". He's saying Harden meant it as something the team needs to do to get better. Part of the plan for improving.
Feigen means that Harden's statement wasn't made with a bad attitude or side eye. It was a genuine statement. Harden is not a cancer. Won't ever be.
Funny thing is that he went party together with someone who just beat them. Wonder how he felt at the moment when other celebrating their victory.
We need Isiah Canan, Daniels, and Covington to come off the bench next year lighting it up. We need a defensive minded coach to teach team D and have more tactical coaching in the last 5 minutes of the game when most games are won/lost.
Has anyone mentioned Battier as a potential Defensive coordinator? He's retiring after this season right? I feel he could help James a great deal with defense considering Battier didn't rely too much on athleticism to defend.
This is GRUELING. I still need to watch because they're my team, whether win or lose, one player or another, a certain coach or someone else. Clutch provides these for us to see the players as OFF-THE-COURT human beings and see what they go through after. So don't forget to donate, dudes.
My favorite quote ever by The Dream. Team will have something to shoot for because that team came out ready to destroy teams from the start of the season with 15 - 0 run. I hope history does repeat itself.

That's a good idea. I will consider Battier as an excellent defensive coach and there is no doubt in my mind that he will help out the players as far as how to position your body in a certain way to defend a player. I feel this team doesn't know how to position their body to take advantage of the inbound pass and a guy like Battier knows what they need to do to take advantage of that...imo.
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen 38s Players supported decision to bring Kevin McHale back, but most did not seem to have considered it in question. McHale was not available.
