and this is why I'm against a midseason coaching change...

Stability was a rare thing in Clipperland and not something to be taken for granted. And finding that right coach, GM, or executive in any field is much easier said than done. As fans of a team or shareholders in a company, we think by that the solution is simple. Fire the CEO and bring in a great visionary to turn your organization around. That’s much easier said than done. It’s why guys like Pandit is still sitting atop Citibank, despite much handwringing. You would think someone like Steve Jobs would be out there somewhere, ready to step in and right the ship. They are not. They’re a rare breed. Most companies will have to settle for Pandit. And your board better be competent enough in conducting a search so you don’t end up with Madoff…or Isiah.

start asking for MORE change when Kim Hughes starts failing the rest of the season? Change like, rehaul the rest of the team, propose trade scenarios, get new coaching personnel, etc. And who says this situation is so horrible compared to what this Clippers have endured year in and year out trying to get some sense of respectability?

I for one WANT Hughes to instill some energy for this team and will succeed, because frankly I’m sick and tired of fans demanding change after change as if that will turn the team around. I"m not criticizing the new regime change, I’m criticizing those fans who clamor for Dunleavy being fired or fabricating scenarios to make a team better like, oh, lets have Lucas coach the team, or oh, lets get Avery Johnson or Byron Scott coach this team, etc etc. Will those same people cry for change again if Hughes fails to motivate this team? Or will those same people who chanted “Fire Dunleavy” give this “new regime” a chance even if the losing ways continue?

Players need stability, time to gel together. I don’t expect much since this season is pretty much lost because the players WILL TAKE TIME to get used to Hughes, which means more losing ways. But I’d rather have that going into the rest of this season just so these players know what they’re really made of. No new coach or new regime will fix this unless the players themselves get their act together. They are ONE healthy player or ONE star player away from going into the next level…the pieces are there, but its up to the players to realize that.

Maybe there’s hope, I dunno. But I just want these damn players to play with pride and respect. That San Antonio game was so disappointing and if that is a preview of what’s to come with these players under this “new regime”, then I dunno what to say anymore…

At any job if your at a position of great power and have 1 productive year out of 6 1/2 years you would be fired long ago.

These people are kidding themselves people talk about the Clippers as if they had made strides and we have made ourselves a quality franchise. People need to take the head out of Sterling’s @$$ because we have been a laughing stock of the league for years and nothing we have done shows otherwise.
