Apologize to Coach Rick

[audiosway]

@"audiosway", I was actually referencing (I now realize too cryptically) Kristaps Porzingis in my post, but don't let me stop your train. I think the Cuban conversation is another good one to have.

And I totally agree with you that KP is the other stinking pile in the corner of the room. I have a sinking suspicion that one of the reasons Kidd was brought in was to appease KP. Cuban thinks he has a pair of superstars when what he really has is a Superstar and a part time starter.

He can't reach his actual potential of being that "unicorn" for two reasons I think.
1. He can't stay healthy. He ends up each time trying to get back to where he was when he got hurt. Once he is close to back he is hurt again.
2. Mentally he just doesn't have the makeup. He's a constant victim. He's always looking for someone else as to why something isn't working. Rick put him in the best position he could. He hated it because he wasn't a focal point of the offense. Put him where he wants to be and he is inconsistent at best until he gets hurt again. He is inconsistent because he dominates weaker matchups and is getting owned by above average matchups.

No coach will be able to fix that issue.

Come on now Kamm. Don't make us pull out boring stats to prove this. You know it's true. Rick will have that Indiana team in the playoffs.
