Whose Team is It?

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Let's ask it a different way.

If there were one player on the team that might reach out to the other players and start a "breakfast of champions" campaign (getting together a couple times per week for an early breakfast to discuss team goals, what each needs to work on, etc..... who would that person most likely be?

Probably George Hill, but I hear Boris likes a good breakfast too.

I'd probably agree.

That's who I call a leader. Doesn't have a ton to do with stats.

The first year without Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap? Virtually nobody was picking us to make the playoffs that year. Or the year after either (Quin's first season).

I seem to remember that season having fringe playoff expectations, I might be remembering wrong and if so my bad.

You forget the second parenthesis. Please edit.

Even if we give that it's still not 3 years running.

2 (maybe 3) years ago we were predicted to be the worst team in the west. This team has been lauded starting last season

This would be the third year.

Records from last few seasons:

15-16: 40/42 (first season post-Corbin viewed as a potential playoff season)
14-15: 38/44 (viewed by most pundits to be a rebuilding year and another trip to the lottery)
13-14: 25/57 (Corbin's last year - viewed as start of rebuilding year by the rest of the league)
12-13: 43/39 (not viewed as a rebuilding year - last year of Millsap and Jefferson)

So this will be the 2nd year we have been largely viewed as a potential playoff caliber team, with lots of caveats as you read through the season previews (like staying healthy, Hayward/Favors/Gobert getting better, integrating new veterans, possibility of replacing Hayward at trade deadline, etc.).

Is Bill Russell on this roster? No ? Then It's Quinn Snyders team. If it's someone elses team they won't perform as well as if was Quinn's..

If there's one thing I've learned from watching the Vikings this year it's precisely that; No matter how many great players you have, when they fall in-line behind the coach that's the most powerful option. This is conducive to players trying to be stars in their roles, instead of just plain old (look at me) stars.

Who in the hell is Quinn Snyder?
