    We need a tough guy on this team. Someone who has heart and will increase the energy of other players on the floor. We used to have Ron Artest for this. Who could we get that is similar to that?

    Ron Artest... no one who will get any minutes, so it doesn't really matter. Maybe Francisco can play that role.

    50 y/o Kurt Thomas is a free agent. wouldn't mind throwing him in with the second unit during our playoff push.

    I would love to see a hard foul on the opposing team for once instead of letting guys walk to the rim

    I agree with this big time..i keep saying that i believe if we had a KG on this team we would be playing so much better..we need a tough guy mentality and someone to help others overcome mental lapses.

    The team needs better basketball players, not "enforcers." All the Ivan Johnson's of the world doesn't get you any better unless they are actually on the court doing good basketball things rather than just making stink eyes and getting into shoving matches. Ron Artest is as tough a guy as he ever was, but he is not that useful because he is a lot worse at basketball now than he was before. Andre Iguodala is a nice guy and he helps his team win.

    Francisco Garcia is plenty of attitude and toughness, and he isn't helping matters a whole lot this season while shooting 35% from the floor.

    The way KG SLAMMED on Dwight those two times, I felt sorry for Dwight!!!:(

    The first time he did it, I said, "he bet not do it again!"

    Damn, I guess Dwight should have been saying that and not me.

    Team needs deadeye shooter, athletic defender ( James Johnson was available ) backup center and a coach that can teach team ball mentality like pacers or spurs. This low assist iso , repeated top of key screen , 3pt spamming crap needs to stop ASAP

    Almost forgot FLOOR GENERAL POINT GUARD
