re: Players meeting reeks of desperation where does Miles stand

You don't win as many games as Miles has done by being desparate and overreacting. When asked to describe his team with one word before the season started, Miles said "Unknown". In my opinion looking back, that was a Miles-ism for "I sure hope they grow up in a hurry". He knew exactly what he had and what he's got. We are outmanned right now with inexperience and youth. I'd bet there is no panic. Despite the youth, they know that they can play better and they're working on that.
