AAARGH!

"One thing I have to continue to remind myself is that Nick is a second-year player, Dom is a second-year player, Andray is really a third-year player when you consider how much time he lost as a rookie with the injury, Pech is a second-year player, JaVale is a first-year player and Javaris is a second-year player without a whole lot of experience. That's half my roster. All of those guys are playing key positions and getting key minutes at one time or another, so what you're seeing here is growing pains."

In other words: "Although being a lottery team gives me the perfect excuse to play my young bench in order to develop/evaluate them, their youthful inexperience prohibits us from winning enough games to pacify the ten fans we have out there who still believe that we'll be playing in June. Also, I'm under orders to make sure that we do just bad enough so when Wes Unseld Jr. takes over as next year's head coach, his winning record will make it looks like he's greatly improved the team."


This has been your moment of Wizard's Zen.
