    I wouldn't say they're an "Ime" away from winning it all -- this team still has lots of development and growing pains to go through before we can say that, but a guy like Ime, Battier, Posey, etc. would give this team a defensive leader. Right now they've got Brandon to sort of be the face of the franchise and the undisputed overall "leader", but this team is in dire need of somebody who can play hard nosed lock down defense and act sort of like a player-coach at that end of the floor.

    Team's this young can't usually rely solely on their coach acting as their de facto veteran presence, sometimes you need a guy on the floor to not only say, "This is how it's done." but you also need that guy who sets the tone with his actions ... toughness and nastiness in athletics have a funny way of being contagious.

    Damn, there's a way to argue a point and give your opinion without calling most of the people here stupid. No wonder no one likes you.
    You've got points sometimes, but the way you convey them is just ridiculous.
