Be great to have a few beers and hits of the bong and chew on that statement!

I think if you consistantly have underachievers on your team your going to have this.

Isiahs greatness was thru his physical prowess and he tries in his post playing years to replicate this by some kind of (failed) leadership.

His Indiana teams would fail at seasons end, and his knick teams are poorly constructed.

Its an iteresting observation and one that warrents application.

I think that players with losing backgrounds will accept losing easier than those who have tasted victory and accept that higher standard as the Norm.

An example of a team opposite of this is the Spurs who will not be out finessed no matter how evil they have to act to accomplish this goal.

A team in transition is the Warriors whose emotions drive them and it appears like they are all tough but in fact that patina of arrogance is actually a sign of weekness (mentally soft!). They have some nice pieces in place that could grow.

In knickland, the rotting leadership starts with a dysfuntional core owner and his immeadiate suckups and the trickle down effect would apper to be massively destructive. Evident by the Larry Brown tragity.

When you break it down, Larry, the idiotic trades, the idiotic PR rules, the idiotic money, the idiotic promises, the idiotic expections, and the idiotic manner in which it was all handled was very ineffective.

Bottom line is you got lots of dudes getting healthy checks and the process of winning is not the objective. Surviving the job tenure is.

So until someone who knows how to effectively lead people and those process', we are dammed until.

Until we stop getting overpriced csstoffs as our centerpieces we are doomed.

Ron Artest would be a perfect addition to extend this losers mentality.

Ron may be the posterboy for "normalization of Diviance".

Blame it on karma like I do, lol.

The stuff you guys come up with is crazy. I think you guys have thrown put the beer mugs and bongs a long time ago and are now making chiba and beer stir fry.

Seriously Nalod, I enjoy reading your post, really I do, some of the best posting I have read on any forum. Not agenda driven, fair and to the point,funny and sarcastic yet true and not filled with hatred... Kudos man...

I agree with your post, but the sad thing and the root of our problems is our owner, I mean what in the hell are we going to do about that... I guess we all can't be blessed with cuban as an owner...
