Effort against Philly, Bargnani as a #2 man, DeRozan’s rookie wall, Hedo’s redemption, Amir Johnson’s yanking and the daunting roadtrip are amongst the topics of discussion. Warning: Bargnani fanboys stay clear.
“I don’t think I can fault the energy or the effort, but maybe the focus,” coach Jay Triano said. “We just didn’t seem to be as locked in on this team as we should be.”
JV is a project with upside, not a focal piece. MU is doing important things right now, but his hires will be as important as firing the old guard like Kelly. We still have to sort out a long-term coach and handle the roster issues mentioned above. I think Lowry IS the backup guard, though.
