[QUOTE="armo859, post: 1218907, member: 29994"] Probably most players go into the season believing this year will be different. More intensity. More dedication. Except for maybe Pablo Sandoval (or any one that thinks they can eat all off season and just drop the weight in training camp. :( ) What will make or break the season is how the teams react to the inevitable adversity and distractions. Unexpected injuries. A loss to a lightly regarded foe. Or just the inevitable shooting slumps. Does the player have the maturity to stop jacking up 3 pointers when the shot isn't falling and drive the ball, pull up for a mid-range jumper, pass the ball. We saw in the NBA playoffs repeatedly what happens when a player gets tunnel vision about doing it all themselves when the team is down. Thinking that is leadership. My two cents. [/QUOTE]
