look, as LB has said, you cant coach or motivate effort.

That's a cop out.

How can you make someone play hard? This is the NBA, Larry shouldn't have to bring out the pom poms in order for his players to be motivated.

Through positive and negative reinforcment, and by using motivational skills

Such as? Praising players for playing well and benching them for sucking? I think that's been tried.

Really? Nate and Lee can't be accused of giving an insufficient effort, yet their PT has go down recently.

Is there anything that can be done to motivate the players? I dont know what can be done to start winning games. I am sick of watching games where no one wants to defend or rebound. I am not in the locker room and in practice so I dunno if I can say anything about what the players should do. I really hope they stop quitting on a hall of fame coach. Is it Marbury? Who is the problem here?

The coach quit on the players the second the season started. He reminds us after every game.

You can but that's not Larry's job, that's for the player and Dr. Phil to work out.

These are supposed to be "PROFESSIONAL" players.

They should bring forth effort every nite!

Marbs, Craw, Eddie, Mo. T, and Richardson all have some defective flaw either a bad back, Bad attitude, bad work habits, or just out of shape. Or all the above!

AD needs to go as his heart is no longer in it.

At least Gazy is gone.

But his is Isiahs flaw. But the only way he was able to aquire overpriced players was using big money and the fools hope they change their strips.

Marbs before he got hurt played a few great games, Mo. T is having nice season. Nate seemed like he has the gift to fly, but is also the villiage idiot!

OUr team is paying these guys millions of dollars a year to play basketball. Effort should be a given.

Elite: When you give a half asse effort at work do you blame your boss? We all know it's us. There is no excuse for giving a half asse effort in any sitation. And excusing someone for this? This is why we lose. It's not anyones fault when they don't hustle. It's noones fault when they care morea bout the dunk then the win. It's noones fault when they turn it over 12 times in a quarter without a press being applied. I'm sorry, It's LB's fault. Once we get rid of that idiot we can go back to playing and winning again. Such foolishness.
I just hope that people will like me
