I thought there was question of injury.

At this point, it's hard to say. My biggest concern is actually Miller, since he is both of the age that he could have a sudden drop off in play, and it looks like, for whatever reason, it might not coincidence that his worst season as a pro was alongside Brand.

It will be interesting to see how good the team plays once they are outta the funk. i am unable to get my hopes up, but dude if i could buy your optimism, i'd pay a pretty penny. @Morty: That probably will happen and we will play better.

It does not help that the coach is a bit of a "wet noodle," but the talent level on this team has not changed. Anyone who thinks Igoudala will shoot 40% for the year is mistaken, as is anyone who thinks Lou will shoot 34% for the year. Just as Brand has started to turn things around in the past 4-5 games, Igoudala and Lou will eventually do so as well. The legitimate question is whether this will happen too late to matter.
