Marcos hit the nail on the head today.

A few good points mentioned in Marco Bretons article on Sacbee.com today.  I still think dumping Adelman (atleast at this point) was a big mistake that nobody will ever admit.

It's been a lack of a Shaquille O'Neal, who could impose his will on a playoff series; a lack of a Kobe Bryant, who can do things with a basketball that no other human can do.

Or it's been a lack of a Tim Duncan, who can grasp the rock in his big paws, back his huge behind toward the basket and do whatever he pleases.

But isn't it curious how this undeniable truth - an honest assessment of Kingly shortcomings - is completely overlooked in the wake of a horribly handled Kings coaching change this week?

The Maloofs were spineless in the way this was handled and want their team to be in the spotlight (see courting Phil last year) so bad they are willing to do almost anything to achieve it.

Even if it possibly leads to the detriment of the team.
