Develop Character and An Image — We Can Score and Rebound

If we can’t win most games, focus on effort and development, hold our heads high even when losing, and define how you want to entertain the fans to get them back. Even if it takes a couple more years. We don’t have much of a choice. Great plays equals great entertainment.  Great plays usually comes from scoring.

We need a ‘Fill the Pepsi Center’ manager who knows how to market our strengths.

Don’t give excuses when you have an off night. It happens to the best teams in the league as well. Look at them as simply growing pains and study the night in order to correct the mistakes next game.

As long as you make an effort to get the win, that’s really all us fans ask as of right now. Especially with such a young team.

Each player should be schooled on how to address the media: look at the interviewer or camera, smile, sit up straight, be positive, say intelligent things. And look professional, not like you’re playing street ball.
