    with the pandemic I think it's difficult for media access and even coaching staff access these days..Casey mentioned this as did Brooke..I wouldn't worry about the behind the scenes help they bring in...actually I'm glad to hear they did this..the media on the website has been really scarce....we had no exit interviews after the playoffs so that was my first signal that this season was going to be weird....basketball in empty arenas is weird

    I wasn't worried; I was very pleased. I have advocated bringing in specialists in different areas for short time periods. I would be interested in knowing what his plan is and how he is integrating with coach Stotts.

    The biggest responses on Twitter have been very negative. People from Chicago saying he was terrible and having him there would only make matters worse. I have a very hard time believing that line of thinking. Working to improve is just that. Working to improve. You try everything you can and never stop.

    Well, I know when I coached soccer, I was a great defensive coach but when I tried being a head coach, I was terrible. :)

    Michael Holton on Blazers Courtside, brought up how much the Blazer players had their hands up and arms extended in the 1st Kings game....and how he didn't see it much in the following 3 games.

    How many more games until this easy scheme change dramatically makes us a better defense?
