That's who I meant. The people who have an influence on the rest of this season. The front office can really only influence future seasons, at this point.
I think that's true. As a GM, I think that's the right approach, too. You have to be concerned with process, not so much results. I mean, obviously you want to see great results...but you can't completely control results, only the process. Pritchard probably concerns himself with running the franchise the best he can, putting the best team he can on the floor and the rest is out of his hands. The players and coaching staff have to take it from there.
Plus, this wasn't supposed to be a title-contention year. Winning more games, players becoming better and having some signs of greater success (like reaching the playoffs) is probably the main thing. Extras, like winning the division or a round or two of the playoffs would just be gravy.
