This isn't the first time and won't be the last..

The talent is there especially since the lineup is now fixed and the coach has stopped messing with it. 

I'd love to give you the answer that the coach is the reason for this, and he actually may play a part, but I think the real answer is these guys have yet to grow up enough to play consistently.  You have to bring it every night and in the NBA, many teams dont get up for the lesser opponents, just ask the Lakers and Celtics. 

I disagree with Da Huvster, I hope Emeka does leave. He's had trouble staying healthy, and when he is healthy, he isn't cosistent enough, and that was before the Vincent was hired.

I hope VIncent gets fired and Emeka leaves, maybe we'll get lucky and MJ will sell his shares and leave, wake up peeps!!! MJ does NOT know how to run a team!
