I think Jimmy will get the D figured out, but unfortunately, that will not be enough. We will have to score some points.

Looking at the O side, there is a lot of work to be done. The upside will be limited wo good PG play. It will take 180 degree turn-around by Howard and Gillon. I so hate to be a naysayer, but I just can't see it happening in time to salvage this season as I do not see either as an elite PG in the first place. Also, there is the Lydon issue, I do think that he has a good chance to turn around his season because I believe the skillset is there, but right now he is playing like a deer in the headlights. It might only take a couple of good games for him to get out of his funk, but until that actually happens he remains an enigma. I have posted before and I say again, I think a huge key is Roberson. He potentially brings toughness, athleticism, and rebounding. I just think it cannot happen for this team wo him playing as well as he did for most of last season. And while he isn't a go to scorer, when he is on his game he gets the 8 to 10 "free" points that could potentially represent the edge in many games. Jimmy seems to have a short leash on this kid - there is simply not enough toughness wo him on the court.

Most of all, the staff has to pick it up. Anything is correctable except nonchalance, and that is what I have seen too of from this team across the board. It is the coach's job to get the fire lit.
