    That happened several times last season, as well. Rudy would just throw his hands up if he didn't get the ball and was wide open on the weak side at the 3-point line.

    I love Brandon and all, but I hate it when he goes ISO up top and we have the other four players stand in the corners just watching him with no movement at all. It's ugly basketball.

    Call it undefinded roles, lack of chemistry, whatever. It all adds up to the same thing: losses and lots of butthurt feelings amongst players on the team that don't get the role they think they "deserve"

    I don't know if this is the year that all the pent up frustration comes boiling over from not being given an opportunity to earn a second contract for a lot of guys, but I get the feeling that the danger is higher than ever.

    I don't know why this is so hard for KP, it's not like it's roster rocket science or anything; you have to find guys who know who they are and know what they can do to fill the spot of complimentary players on your roster instead of always stockpiling versatile youngins trying to prove something and figure out who they are in the league.

    It's depressing as hell because we've seen this show before with Bob Whitsitt except these guys are nicer and younger -- but it will probably end the same way if nothing is done to consolidate this kludge sooner rather than later.
