Well, although you do come at me and others here too strong, in a sesne what you are saying is what i was alluding too. More sheldon in places, some TA, some PP rotation...as for the starters..I'll never understand that childish notion....but what i have seen, was starting people like leon powe for a change and the results that brought about....so now sheldon....a coach showing he has confidence in a player can induce the player to play with more confidence and produce his best. That IS what leon powe did.....Even scal played better when he started. The attitude of appeasing the pro's constantly, even if they show you over and over again that they lost interest is not the way to go. IT also has proven results.
Challenging players is not meddling, better combinations is not meddling either. I think it is showing that PP and Ray may not work together too well. It is centered on PP. He doesn't know when he is not "The man" at all. The coach needs to step in and adjust that. Also, sure you'd like other teams to adjust to you, or think that way, but if and when they do, then you still have to adjust to them, you have to learn the other team if you expect to master them, you cannot expect to just "hit your shots" all the time. Like the other year when the Cleve coach centered his D on Ray allen...it worked terribly well, a coach will realize this and make an adjustment, doc never did. Never has, he listens to you 100%, and we've seen how that works.!!!
