I'm afraid you might be right. I'm not sure if that's something you can learn or obtain, somehow.

I don't want to be too negative, I'm sure there are plenty of successful teams that go through these kind of slumps but if I were to look at the team right now, I would see a team that expected to be successful and are a bit skittish about facing the fact that they aren't. I was hearing that they are the worst team in mlb when it comes to losing close games. Yet their overall offensive stats aren't bad. To me this screams leadership, but as I said, that's my picture of the team today and it could all just be a necessary phase that has to happen to figure out the bugs of a new team.

Fortunately its basketball playoff time, if you're into that. Great game last night, Indy v Cleveland. I switched over to that game instead of watching the Flops lose again.  Year after year of mediocrity with, it seems, another mediocre year on tap this year.

I'm done with the NBA. It's not the basketball I played or remember, and it seems like it's all fixed and choreographed.- almost as bad as wrestling.

Maybe it will take time for Bregman's leadership to make a mark.

The Bird/Magic years were the peak for the NBA. IMHO.

The only two pro sports I have any interest in are baseball and hockey.

Because their number one goal is to piss talksox posters off.

You do realize they are all of 2 games out of first place, right?
