Most of the time players end up being what they've proved to be over their careers.

There's really not that much that we need to correct. Take better shots and make shots. Play hard on D. Cut down the TO's and get healthy.

Sorry to beak your heart 'Luva, but thats the whole enchilada. There's not much else to basketball besides offense, defense and healthy players.

Shhh, we don't want spies from other teams to learn the secrets to better basketball.

The sad part is that, after all those years of collecting dirt on Isiah, Marbs couldn't uncover even one shred of information of basketball utility. Not one nugget Isiah may have had tucked under there.

Now there's only one thing Steph can do to redeem the free fall that his career here has been. And, ironically, it will coincide with his exit. Ant that is to spill the beans on Isiah. Go out in style Marbs. For once, do what's in the interest of the team.

Yup, that was the life-lesson Isiah taught him in the Larry Brown season: if you're on your way out anyway, go out swinging, you just might catch a chin before you go down.

My curiosity for the mysterious "dirt" Marbs has on Isiah is building. I mean, it could be anything. Although I have a strange suspicion a truck might be involved.

These are some of my observations. No hysterics or overreactions ....

These are some of my observations. No hysterics or overreactions are needed after just 7 games. We've blown some games that we clearly could've won. The team needs to get back on track and refocused on what they need to do in each game to win. They've clearly gotten off track as far as their mental approach to the games and how they need to play to succeed.

Curry and Zach to me looks good overall. Add in Lee and we're good. I don't see them as our problem. Most of our problems are on the perimeter. The things that concern me more are getting Mardy healthy and into the starting lineup for the rest of the year. I want to see if he can grow into the position. We know his D is superior and would help us a lot. He's solid in running the offense and of course needs work on his shot. Without Mardy, we're gonna be left to play Steph more and I can't tell you how unfortunate it was that Mardy got hurt. In the longterm tho, I can see him having a positive effect on the team. So many have been looking for a Eric Snow type and why can't Mardy be that guy?

I also want to see Jamal get back to attacking the defense like he was. His FG% improved cuz he was attacking the basket more aggressively. For whatever reason he got away from that and he's been hesitating and dancing on the perimeter, which has led to him carrying the ball and turning it over.

I think Zach's been falling in love with the jumper a bit too much, but I believe he'll get that under control. Most of the time players end up being what they've proved to be over their careers. He strikes me as a guy that will eventually get back up to his usual FG %.

Lee hasn't gotten his usual minutes and for me he's not been as good as he was last year overall. This could easily be just a normal up and down that you see in any season. I fully expect him to get his game together and he'll start getting more minutes. The thing is we need BOTH Lee and Zach and there's no reason why Zach has to play so many minutes with Lee around. Over the course of a season things will even out.

Isiah needs to improve his use of the roster. I think he had that in mind until Mardy and Balk got hurt, but I'd like to see him use Chan and Morris when there's an opportunity that screams for them to be used. No more Malik and limit Jared's minutes. There's really not that much that we need to correct. Take better shots and make shots. Play hard on D. Cut down the TO's and get healthy.
