This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Experienced and talented returning core is a key by SixShutouts66
The peer group integrated talented new players and let them grow in their roles. You always want to restock rather than rebuild. It wasn't surprising to me that the team played better when Mik returned from injury. Other symptoms of this were a large number of unforced turnovers (players in the wrong place) and desperate shots at the end of the time clock.
Other issues were the number of players who were coming back after missing most of the previous year and an imbalance of skills (nice way of saying we didn't rebound well).
I'd be interested to give values of 1-10 for each players ranking and 1 - 5 for minutes played and multiply them together. Teams with more talent in younger players, like us, should stand out.
