Why hasn't anyone intervened and done anything yet ?

It's been 2 1/2 months.

Take the starters to psychology.

Practice offence with 2 basketballs.

Whatever it takes.

To let this ******** linger is just absurd.

One of the players, think Roy, said they've done all kinds of stuff. Team meetings, film sessions, "upper management" visits. Either Agness or Candace tweeted it last night.

They're out of excuses, there's no room for sunshine left, this is a total eclipse of the heart.

Probably doesn't need its own thread, but yeah pretty sure stuff has been tried or said, but fixes are not always quite so easy.

why are you assuming things haven't been done?

They have to get these guys together outside of basketball activities, they had an 18 game month, 11 on the road. They gotta have a team BBQ picnic. Or something like that, where basketball is not the focus. Get their families there so guys interact with each other in a different setting.

It takes a long time to change players' personalities or wait for them to "mature". The players are showing their true colors. They are mentally fragile. When I said in another thread the Pacer's upper management needs a psychological screening test before signing or drafting players I was only half joking. Bird doesn't look quite so good right about now does he?

I suggested visiting a childrens hospital. That might get their priorities in order.

This. Definitely this. The month that we shall never speak of again (and Im trademarking that ****!) was a meatgrinder even without the outlying circumstances going in. Take a day, REST, and get away from the game.

How can you practice offense with two basketballs?

Get them to move the ball non stop for 2 hours straight with defenders.

Bird did not re-sign Hibbert.

That would be worse. I think 1/2 a basketball would be more to the point.

Re: Why hasn't anyone intervened and done anything yet ?

It's a question worth bringing up. At this point I think it's time for Bird to step in with a very hands on approach. The players aren't responding to Vogel.

Everything has been tried already. There is a big issue with chemistry that no one knows about but the players. I like greyhound's idea though.
