The Wolves are trying to find a way to create a bond between their players. They know that they have a bunch of new faces and a new coaching staff, so they are taking the proper approach to help them get acquainted. Why not try that same philosophy in N.Y??? I have once called for Marburry to organize a 4 weeks minicamp as our leader to rally the troop, but Minnesta is taking that idea a little further....

It's a two day camp. How are they taking it further then your 4 week "minicam" idea?

In my opinion it only shows how much mental help they need over there in Minny.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

That is the first thing that we should correct. If you are mentally strong, you can accomplish a lot. Are we a mentally strong squad????

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you, but I do think that metnal softness is the main reason we lost so much last year.

They simply collapsed under prussure. The opening night game against Boston was a perfect example of that. They fealt the pressure and totally melted. And they did that in many games down the strech.

This goes squarely on Marbury's shoulders. He must be able to lead the team both emotinally and mentally, but last year he could not. Maybe now that he has more tough players on the team he will do better. It is hard to carry the likes of Fugazy to anything.

I think that the softness that our team showed last year was a mirror image of our coaches. Lenny and Herb were both soft. The only guy that could command a little toughness was MacGwire, but he was just an assistant. We all know that Brown is a tough guy, but the sooner that he brings our guys together is the better. Taking a little trip to Vegas or a bowling tournament between our boys is definitely not a bad idea to bring our boys together.
