i dunno man, grunwald pampered him like a baby... vince pretty much dictated what teammates he wanted to surround himself with
as for babcock, he was hired with just to move vince... VCs days were numbered way before babever showed up... |
Look, the thing is, is that vince is locker room poison, upper level management saw that, saw the team was going nowhere, wanted to clean house. Then hired disposable people to do it, vince's ego clashed with it and wanted out. Simple as that. |

That's a very cynical way of looking at it |

Hey, it's easier to build from the ground up than a crumbling foundation.
And seriously, you can't tell me Babwas really in the running for building the team once all the wasted money on guaranteed contracts were gone. They gave him just enough slack to hang himself with bad draft choices, but not enough to pull of a trade to improve the franchise. [In his eyes]
And you can't tell me the rest of the team can be happy with Vince when he dictates [or tries to] the choice of coach, GM, and some teammates. They handed him the franchise, and when he himself made stupid choices and the management wanted control back, he and his mom started to cry foul.
So what do you do? CLEAN HOUSE. < (ENTER) > 'Babthe disposable'.

Of course Vince can fit in Mitchell's system.
You run.

Vince can do this.

You fight for every loose ball. You play defence as best as you can. You work your tail off every possession.

It's this I'm worried about. And didn't vince refuse to play under mitchell at the end of his tenure here? |

Simple. |
The only two guys I saw do this the other night was Kris Humphries and PJ Tucker.
For a "run and gun" team, they seam WAY out of shape. I hope they get to this (tomorrow night) cuz its an exciting game to watch, but I didn't see it last night. |

Raps are 2 and 2... Win over Philly tonight. So far doing ok.
Bosh is so far doing good... Turning into a monster rebounder plus he's developing a 3 pt shot... |

lol, no thanks
:stongue: :stongue: |

Yeah, he and Kris Humphries looked great.
Anyone know why Peterson didn't play in the second half? |

*sigh*
Same ol' news for Raps.
No inside game except Bosh and he can't do it by himself all the time. Settling for bad jumpers. Leaky defence, esp. perimeter D.
Bargnani needs to grow a set of balls. For a big man, he doesn't like getting bruised to get rebounds. His failure in 3rd quarter pretty much turned the game to Warriors favour last night.
I don't see how Mitchell can fix that. It's a mental thing.
Very early in the season, but need to fix that defence quick. |

Ohhh... That's a controversial statement...
It's too early to tell. Remember, the Raps have made a wholesale change to the squad over the summer, so players still need bit of time to gel as a team.
He does need help in defence coaching though. |
