I just can't blame anyone but management. These players are doing the best they can, but just aren't good enough to bring it every game. What some lack on defense others lack on offense. We have a LOT of streaky shooters but everyone just blames brewer. He is out there hustling every time he is on the court, just like Beverly. Blame the management people, but don't blame the guys our management put in the position.
Remember the days where we had Landry, Lowry, Scola, Battier and AB? Sure they weren't the most talented players but they all put in 100% and were pretty much models citizens on and off the court. Our roster these days comprise of players who are extremely flawed in terms of skill or are extreme head cases on and off the court. Harden- Quite obviously our best player but often shows a lack of effort on the court. Away from basketball, he is all about the glamour life. Howard- A shadow of his former self. I do believe he cares but his demeanour often doesn't show it. No longer a good player. Ariza- The closest thing to being a ok player and ok person. The rest just plain suck. (Beasley and KJ aside, both have barely played.)
