Raps had a team meeting for an HOUR before shoot-around today. Communication issued apparently resolved. Issues aired-out.

We'll see how effective this meeting was in a few hours.

Exactly .... pardon me for being pessimistic, but I won't believe it until I see it.

Agree with both of you.

If this team discussion is accompanied by a change in rotations and potentially the starting lineup, then perhaps I'll become a bit more optimistic, but if things remain the same on the court, what's the point of talking it out? Dr. Phil FTL.

Sometimes the best way to cure angst and frustration is to place the affect parties in a room and let them slug it out. It sounds like this sort of thing might have taken place, only verbally of course. Will is work? I don't know but from my experience, airing dirty laundry in a full dressing room tends to help you feel for what the coaches are saying.
