great teams. great players. They make opponents pay for double teaming--under Avery, Dirk just isn't that guy. Sure, the entire team should shoulder blame--but as the head coach and the superstar (leader), you guys must step up.

Had to jump ahead and quote what Alby says. We cannot run an offense. Period. Yes, at times our defense sucks, but purely, IMO, on perimeter defense, which has always been the case with us. Its our offense that truely is something to behold. I cannot understand the idea that if Dirk gets doubled on the wing, lets stand around. We have one of the most lazy, complacient teams that can't seem to get fired up. Every 3 or 4 quarters, you'll see some greatness click, for the most part, its just not there.
I'm for a shake up. The coaching staff on down isn't here to coast, but to build, and the foundation to build towards the playoffs is shaky, at best.
