Tonights game was the one the straw that broke the camels back for. Ive been thinking about it for a while but after tonight, im just going to come out and say it. JVG had an influence on this team that RA cannot produce. Last year when JVG was coaching we won 52 games without Yao for a large portion of the season. This Year we are 9-9 with a BETTER TEAM and LESS INJURIES yet we still sit at .500. All i can say is that RA doesnt prepare his teams like JVG and his coaching staff did. Thats the only reason we werent a lottery team last year. So far this year we have lost to 4 sub .500 teams as well as a lakers team that has Kobe and not much else. Last year we would have won at least 4 of those 5 games which would have put our record to 13-5. Put it simply: JVG = Win ALL games we are meant to win as well as some underdog games RA = Win VERY FEW games we are meant to win as well as some underdog games. Its inexcusable. I was willing to wait but after tonights effort i think enough is enough. A trade needs to made with either Alston, James and maybe even Battier. Yes Battier. If nothing else, changes at the top of the organisation need to be at least considered. Thoughts?
