And, oh yeah, the little issue of the coaching staff. And I am fully aware he is the guy that played Ritchie with 13 and 23, but who knows what that was about - maybe a kamikaze style message about roster construction ?

Gio was not a Norris caliber dman last year though...not even close
Coleman was playing 18 mins a night in the playoffs for the 2X cup champs...I think people will come around on him pretty quickly. He is not a "third liner" like I have heard people say
We will find out pretty quickly if the team is better or not
