I believe I have to admit that team has heart. Regardless of anything else, they do have heart.

I still hate IT for the job he did as a GM, regarding the cap management and most of the trades, but he has them playing hard, most of them anyways.

They have to do something about the defense though, at this point I don't really get it. If they are going to play as hard as they play tonight, why the hell are guys not giving it their best when it comes to guarding their man?

Oh and Curry needs to learn how to block out, as does Lee and Frye. I really think blocking out is an effort thing, but once again, they played hard, but somehow failed to block out a million times. I understand they are playing zone, and you are susceptible to giving up offensive rebounds in a zone, but still, you have at least try to block out.
