Re: To-do List to Make the Playoffs
Give Granger the ball more? He averages like 20 shots and 6.5 FTs. I mean I guess it's not as much as like Kobe and Wade obviously, but Granger settles for jumpers too much and his J has been OFF lately.
Oh and some things like "get better medical staff". We aren't going to change. I just don't know if that belongs necessarily.

Re: To-do List to Make the Playoffs
Guys, hold off on #31, we should have a vote and a debate over what it should be.

Re: To-do List to Make the Playoffs
Good call on the debate on #31. Also, does anybody else want to have a veto system? Personally, I don't think some of these belong (kind of made it clear already
). I don't know, maybe I am the only one, but I think it's weird to have 2 contradict each other and some just don't seem right. If my veto idea is vetoed I'll be alright.

Re: To-do List to Make the Playoffs
If you want to veto something, put "Veto #--" and if two other people want it vetoed, then it's enough.
The goal is to have the to-do list completed before we clinch the playoffs.
That's right, I am extremely kool-aided out.

If nothing else, I think we should veto some of the posts that contradict each other.

Obviously, those are the ones that I think need to be addressed first.

Re: To-do List to Make the Playoffs
OK, well I think 13, 15, and 16 need to be vetoed. 16 can at least be edited to not contradict others. 13 contradicts another one. 15 is about medical staff and I just don't see anything changing. I may have missed a contradiction or maybe people think the opposite of me and we should keep 13 and get rid of the opposite, but I am sticking with 13, 15, and 16 (at least edited).
