[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1577771, member: 517079"] I obviously think there are other tweaks needed -- both mental and game planning -- but to me, the solution is Ayo. This is his team. He needs to get back to playing like the Player of the Year. Not every now and then, but the whole game. When you have the clear-cut best player on your side, everything else more easily falls into place. When your best player is operating in 'snap necks' mode 24/7, that attitude is contagious. Ayo is such an incredible player, but he doesn't have that sneering, "you don't stand a chance" demeanor that is sometimes needed (for some teams more than others, and it appears we're one of those). He is the guy on this team that is heading pro after this year. It's time for him to go out and grab ahold of every game immediately, set the tone for everybody else, and show the NBA why he's worth a lotto pick. Now or never. [/QUOTE]
