    Same. Aminu doesn't seem like the type to speak up though. I get the feeling that Moe is perhaps growing into more of a leader for us. Ed might have some pull. He's probably the closest we have to an enforcer too.

    That's why if Aminu did speak up I would listen. Not sure about Mo yet. Sometimes he just seems happy to be playing.

    Son of a bitch!!!
    I hate that you say something I hate but have to agree with a little too often...Man.
    Buzzkill, cause I was bout to jump full on the BNM bandwagon of Noel and Ibaka. But not at the cost of CJ. Those are the guys needed to make CJ and Dame work together.

    I would put Harkless in that mix too. He is younger, but he brings it every night and has actually already spoke up.

    Festus: Guys, we aren't putting out our best. The fans deserve our best. The coaches--

    CJ: Eat a dick, Festus!

    Festus: Okay, I'll shut up.

    This is the problem. Lillard is a leader but beyond that? I think someone like Plumlee should speak up more. That guy plays hard every night and shows no fear when guys from other teams step to him or his teammates. He's earned a louder voice but I'm guessing he's not used to that extra freedom yet. Harkless is in the same boat.

    If Meyers spoke up I would literally slap him.

    Here's a link to the actual Haynes interview with Dirt & Sprague if anyone wants to listen to it.

    JVG was hilarious last night. He started saying something about this Festus-CJ thing, got caught up wondering whether he should really say anything, and had an awkward 20 second pause until Jackson saved his ass.

    I love JVG. If we ever do get to the stage where we wanna get rid of Terry, he's the guy I want. I heard someone say he's really interested in getting back to coaching, but only in the right situation.

    That right situation is not here. I highly doubt we are on his radar. he has bee an east coast guy for one, and when he says the right situation, I think he means an MVP caliber player on an above .500 team. or a Phi type team with just TONS of upside.
