As far as the Salmi/Mix discussion, I was a huge fan of the Mayor and I really don't care for Bob all that much. I watched a game on NBA TV the other day with the famous Zumoff/Mix collaboration and I couldn't remember why I liked the man so much, it almost made me appreciate Bob Salmi.  If only we could clone Zumoff...   The worst hands down combination there is and may ever will be is the horrible  NBA TV Gametime tandem of Chris Webber and Gary Payton. I never knew how much I really disliked either one of them untill I got a good look at their true personalities.  I feel so bad for Ahmad Rashad, I just want to go save him somehow.

CMON GUYS @ COMCAST, U'RE KILLING URSELVES AND US IN THE PROCESS TOO. THIS GUY IS REALLY TERRIBLE.

I!m gonna give Mo a pass right now till I see how the rest of the year goes, but I agree with Morty in that the talent seems to be here. What could Mo have done different ? Discipline players that didn!t perform up to snuff; [L.Will./gunning] [Sammy/not screening well] [Iggy/leaving his feet on defense] etc. And doing what HE wanted to do instead of what his G.M. wanted. Ex. If he wanted to start Iggy at the 3 and Willie at the 2 than go in the G.M. !s office and fight for it. Mo doesn!t seem to handle change well and starting  this year with 3 new starters at the 2/3/4 did not, to me, seem like a Mo kind of decision and probably was a reason for the slow start.
