let's keep things in perspective 

Post#1 » by Kreuk » Wed Dec 5, 2012 11:30 pm

gasol hasn't been good since we self-destructed in the playoff series against the mavericks.

paying phil jackson $18 million a year or whatever wouldn't have solved anything.

the coach is hardly ever the reason a team is failing. usually it's the team.

keeping bynum would've been an awful choice, even if we lose dwight.

injuries have decimated the team. we aren't nowhere near full strength or have we been.

it's a long season and it just started. hold on and hope things get better.

we're a move or two and a win streak away from being top in the west.

The only noteworthy injury has been Nash, so no, we haven't been decimated.

i find that the thing we're missing first and foremost is chemistry

we're not going to find a player like gasol that instantly fits into the offense like wonderbread

all it boils down to is trust and finding a comfort zone and knowing exactly what your teammates are going to do on offense and defense.

I'm glad that someone brought up chemistry. Very few people mention that as being a problem when it actually is the biggest problem.
