We were winning with exactly what we have now.

Yes, it's a real shame.

But I now think that this was only, say, 50% of the problem.

The other 50% was that Fisher had some character issues that finally, in the stress of the situation, overwhelmed him and the team.

I'm pretty annoyed with Fisher for that . . . because the development of the team was unfolding as an almost best-case-scenario in Triangle Culture terms.

Damn.

I agree. Its funny because my impression was that one of Fisher's strengths was his character.

We all hate the hypocrite or the fallen preacher.

Also, the Anthony/ref incident was a season killer...at this point anyway. Amazing how such a small misstep could change the fortune of the team.

Anthony reference?????

Stepping on the ref in the Celtics' game.

I don't see Melo opting for Miami as Bosh health iffy and Wade further along than Melo. Dragic will be gone as will Whiteside. That's suddenly a reconstruct and if Riley can't pull a rabbit out of his hat this time he should retire his show time ass
